Southern Medical University (南方医科大学) is a provincial public medical university in Baiyun, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Formerly as a military-affiliated medical university, the whole institution was transferred to the Guangdong Provincial People's Government and became a provincial public university in 2004. It is now wholly owned by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government.[1]

Southern Medical University is in the foothills of the picturesque Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou. The main campus, together with its south campus in the southern suburb of Guangzhou, covers an area of nearly one square kilometer. Its award-winning gardens are known for rows of green trees and bouquets of flowers blossoming on its campuses all throughout the year.
