Aiming to deepen the "Healthy China" national strategy, address population aging, and resolve the structural mismatch between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) talent training and the needs of the medical - elderly care integration industry. By applying educational ecology and systems theory, a "static - dynamic" two - dimensional framework is constructed to deeply analyze the internal logic of the "Post - Curriculum - Competition - Certificate - Innovation" comprehensive education model. The study defines the static structure and function of "Post" (three - level ability model), "Curriculum" (three - integrated curriculum group), "Competition" (ladder - style competition chain), "Certificate" (book - certificate integration system), and "Innovation" (inheritance - innovation dual - wheel). It also reveals its dynamic operation mechanism centered around "demand - driven", "two - way interaction", and "adaptive evolution". Conclusion The "Post - Curriculum - Competition - Certificate - Innovation" model, a dynamically coupled and complex adaptive system, offers a feasible paradigm for TCM higher education supply - side reform. It is of great value in cultivating compound TCM talents and promoting the development of the medical - elderly care industry.
