    "abstract": "Considering the emerging educational paradigm, there is a pressing need for reform in acupuncture education.\nWe uses the acupuncture education at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine as a case to delineate the challenges encountered in current theoretical and practical teaching of acupuncture and proposes viable solutions.\nIn theoretical teaching, there should be an emphasis on classical theories integrated with modern scientific theories to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the classical theories. As for practical training, endeavors should be made to enhance clinical application and leverage virtual reality technology to optimize training outcomes.\nThrough cross-disciplinary knowledge integration and the utilization of modern technology, there exists a positive significance for both the inheritance and innovative development of acupuncture, as well as for acupuncture education and talent cultivation.",
