In the context of "the Belt and Road" initiative and the "Healthy Silk Road" construction, the internationalization of vocational education has become an important path to alleviate the shortage of medical and health talents in China along the route. Taking the "Bayu Shizhen College" of Chongqing Medical and Pharmaceutical College as an example, based on the theories of resource dependence and cross-cultural adaptation, this paper explores the practical path of international cooperation in vocational education through case study. The school innovates the "education chain - industry chain" dual drive model through the "government-school-industry-enterprise" collaborative mechanism, builds a digital resource center, and integrates traditional Chinese medicine cultural exchanges. It has trained a total of 170 international students and developed 11 professional standards. Research has shown that internationalization of vocational education requires a balance between internationalized integration and cultural adaptation.
