Based on the system coupling theory

the paper comprehensively reviewed the whole process of training undergraduate students of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)

and analyzed the background and status quo of the interaction among enrollment

cultivation and employment of TCM higher education. It is argued that those three aspects compose a dynamic correlation model of mutual support

mutual integration and coordinated development with the reform of national college entrance examination as the breakthrough. In view of the above

it is suggested to optimize the enrollment management

meeting the need of health services; to reform the training process

focusing on the cultivation of high-level TCM talents; and to aim at high-quality employment

benefiting training and enrollment in turn

to provide reference for sound development of undergraduate TCM education.
