对于中医药来说，只有实现“走出去”，才能获得更快的发展和更大的空间。“未来10年是实现中医药全面走向靠前、在世界范围获得丰富与发展的关键时期。”“世界中医学专业核心课程教材”项目正是在此背景下启动的。
世界中医学教育快速发展，各国中医学教育亟需具有学术很好不错的规范教材。编译“世界中医学专业核心课程教材”，是对《世界中医学本科（CMD前）教育标准》《世界中医学专业核心课程》等标准的具体落实。本套教材英文翻译采用《中医基本名词术语中英对照靠前标准》。本套教材的出版和优选发行，可扩大中国文化、中华文明的靠前影响力，对中医药“走出去”和中国出版“走出去”具有重要的现实意义，且在世界中医药教育目前具有里程碑意义，核心课程教材的编译，拟利用好世界卫生组织、ISO等靠前组织平台，致力于中医药靠前标准的制定、参与靠前中医药发展秩序的重建等，使中医学教育能登堂入室，推动世界中医药的大发展。出版本套教材是解决中医靠前化关键问题的有力措施。
