2016年11月4日晚，驻温哥华总领事刘菲携总领事馆科技、文化等部门领事及工作人员在总领事馆举办招待会，三十余位卑诗省中医界人士及二位华人西医公会主席代表应邀到场，以座谈会的方式为中医在海外的发展出计献策。 会中，刘菲总领事对中医在海外的发展表达出极度的关注和支持。她认为中医行业为人类健康做出了很大贡献。经过广大中医工作者的努力，中医事业在温哥华得到了很大发展。但目前中医还没有融入到主流医疗体系，其发展还面临着重重困难与障碍。刘总领事愿意与总领事馆负责科技、文化等部门的工作人员一起为促进卑诗省中医事业的发展发挥一定的作用。她也希望中医界的有识之士能够积极提出建设性的想法和建议。无论是在招待会上还是以后，总领事馆将保持和大家的交流，并尽可能支持和配合中医界举办的活动。 中医师卓同年、曹宝奇、石精华、杨光芳及路晓云分别介绍了中医在国内外的现状。在国内，习近平总书记表态要大力推动中医药的振兴发展，并推动中医走出国门，在海外发展。为此，国家提出了“一带一路”的战略方针，为中医在海外的发展建立交流合作平台。在卑诗省，中医的发展处于加拿大的领先地位，在立法、管理、培训等方面初步形成了完善的体系。2016年，昆特兰大学开办卑诗省首家公立传统中医学院。各中医协会也在努力工作，今年多家协会合作，承办了广州中医药大学、上海中医药大学的学术交流访问活动，收到了良好的社会效益。 与会与人热烈发言，一致认为中医界的团结是迎接机遇，克服困难的良方。只有团结起来共同发声，中医行业才能立得住，走得稳。就目前而言，各协会联合起来办大事，各个协会管小事是一条可行之路。中药在加拿大的种植也受到与会者的强烈关注，据介绍，中药材已经被大量引进加拿大种植，但品质如何，是否符合道地药材的标准，还需进一步观察验证。华人西医公会主席代表也积极发言，表达了对中医发展的支持。 招待会在意犹未尽的气氛中结束了。总领事馆科技领事于海英女士留下了她的联系方式 yuhy@most.cn，希望广大会员有想法和建议的，积极与她联系。
