Abstract: The construction of a discipline system of "plant medicine" is the key to promote the development of plant medicine. At present, there is only one "College of Plant Medicine" in China, and yet it sets up the discipline of "Plant Protection" only,without the discipline of "Plant Medicine".It has no plant hospitals, plant medical treatment and service system, and no real plant doctors. Both teaching material system and practice system need to be explored and improved. Accordingly, it is not yet a "College of Plant Medicine" in the real sense of the term.Based on the idea of "medicine", firstly, this paper introduces the concept and characteristics of "plant medicine", the setup of "plant medicine" specialty and the cultivation mode of "plant doctor". The establishment of plant hospital and the functions of its departments are discussed, and the composition and functions of plant doctors and medical personnel are put forward in order to cultivate more excellent plant medicine talents for agricultural and rural development, food security and ecological security in the new era.
