Old building of the Peking Union Medical College in Beijing

Peking Union Medical College, also as Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, is a national public medical sciences research institution in Dongcheng, Beijing, China. Originally founded in 1906, it is affiliated with the National Health Commission. The college is part of the Double First-Class Construction.[1] The school operates the Peking Union Medical College Hospital and hosts a joint 8-year clinical medicine science degree program with Tsinghua University.

Peking Union Medical College students in the 8-year clinical medicine program could receive a Peking Union Medical College diploma and degree signed by both the Peking Union Medical College and Tsinghua presidents.[2][3][4][5] It was merged with the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in 1957 and operates as one single institution with two names directly under the Ministry of Health, now the National Health Commission. It is the first medical school in China to introduce the 8-year MD program.
