In regards to the draft for the registration regulation sent out by the regulatory board, I wish to clarify the following points:

• The grandparent registration will be upheld, and any practitioner with a sufficient patient registry will qualify.
• With regard to the English-Chinese language barrier. Those with insufficient communication skills will be given a conditional registration.
• As for the title of "TCM Dr." The law currently already recognizes the title of "Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine" but registration for said title will not be implemented until the near future.
