摘要本研究通过对103名中医药专业人才进行问卷调查，了解他们对中医药专业人才国际交流能力要素及其子要素的认识情况。被调查者认为，具备外语交际能力和中医药专业理论知识技能是衡量是否具备国际交流能力的重要指标，而具有全球视“、战略思维、具备跨文化意识和跨文化敏感度以及掌握一定的跨文化交际策略等子要素的重要性程度相对被低估。提示今后国内中医药高等院校可以有意识地、有针对性地提升中医药专业人才国际交流能力中的软实力，培养出更多既具备专业知识和外语能力、又具备国际意识、跨文化交际意识的复合型中医药专业人才。

abstractsAn online questionnaire to 103 professionals of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was conducted to acquire their recognition and understanding of international communicative competence. The results showed that foreign language communicative competence and solid medical knowledge are considered the most important qualities while the importance of global vision, strategic thinking, cross-cultural awareness/sensitivity and communicative strategy is comparatively underestimated. It was proposed that domestic TCM universities and colleges strive to improve the soft skills for TCM professionals and cultivate more interdisciplinary TCM talents armed with professional expertise, foreign language communicative competence as well as international and multicultural awareness.
