Spatial Distribution of Human Resources Allocation Level of Chinese Traditional Medicine

Objective. The purpose of the study is to explore the spatial distribution pattern and evolution characteristics of Chinese Traditional medicine human resources in order to provide a scientific basis for the construction of TCM talents. Methods. Spatial auto-correlation and relative development rate were used to measure the spatial distribution pattern and change characteristics of human resources in TCM. Results. The number of TCM human resources in China increased year by year from 2012 to 2019, but the ratio of TCM physicians to TCM pharmacists was unbalanced. Global Moran’s I showed that the human resources of TCM in China presented spatial auto-correlation, and the Moran index of all indicators showed a decline, and then an increasing trend. Local Moran’s I showed that the characteristics of TCM human resource aggregation were obvious, and the aggregation mode changed greatly. Conclusion. The distribution of human resources in TCM of China is unevenly distributed, and there is obvious regional agglomeration in some provinces. Improving the rationality of the distribution of human resources in Chinese medicine in China can promote balanced development among regions.
