To study the problems in the development of the Saint Petersburg Center of Traditional Chinese Medicine(hereafter referred to as the Center)，analyze the internal and external factors that restrict and affect its development，and provide strategies and suggestions for the further development of the Center in Russia.Methods:The external factor evaluation(EFE) matrix and internal factor evaluation(IFE) matrix were used to quantitatively evaluate and analyze the major restrictive factors affecting the development of the Center and systematically study the future development of overseas TCM centers.The strength，weakness，opportunity，and threat(SWOT) model was employed to judge the development stage of the Center，so as to choose the appropriate development strategy.Results:According to the values calculated with the EFE and IFE matrices，the coordinate of the gravity center P calculated by the SWOT model was(0.2，0.41)，which was in the first quadrant，i.e.，the opportunity area.Conclusion:At present，we should choose the opportunity type in the pioneering strategy for the development of the Center.Accordingly，we put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to ensure the implementation of the development strategy and promote the healthy and long-term development of the Center in Russia.
