After his graduation he worked in a clinic in a small hospital in a poor rural district in the province of Jiangsu. As the district was not very prosperous and life conditions were poor, there were many patients with severe health problems. As a result Dr Jiang was able to treat various kinds of complex diseases. Dr Jiang managed to use his knowledge of both the Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Western medicine for diagnosis and treatment. In the small local hospital he was responsible for both the Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Western Medicine, gaining extensive practical experience.

He had three years of clinical training by professor Zesheng and professor Xu Jinfan, who are famous in China. After his promotion he was admitted to the academic hospital of the university. In 1983 he registered at the University for Traditional Chinese Medicine of Peking and studied with the famous professor Dong Jianhua, member of the Academy for Technical Science China (the highest title of honour granted by the Chinese authorities). Three years later he was the first doctoral student in China to obtain a doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine (there had not been a university in Traditional Chinese Medicine before to promote a postgraduate student or to have academic medical training).

In 1986 he was appointed in the university hospital of the University for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Peking to practise, to lecture and to do research.
