Hebei Medical University

Hebei Medical University (HMU) is located in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province. It is a key provincial university jointly supported by the Ministry of Education, the National Health Commission, and the Hebei Provincial Government.

HMU traces its roots back to 1894 when Li Hongzhang founded the Beiyang Medical College in Tianjin, making it the first government-run Western medical school in modern China. In 1995, it was formed through the merger of Hebei Medical College, Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Shijiazhuang Medical College.

HMU's flagship programs include clinical medicine, basic medicine, pharmacy, and public health. Clinical medicine is part of the national Excellent Doctor Education and Training Program, reflecting its long-standing strength.

The university has 7 first-level doctoral degree authorization points, 1 professional doctoral degree category, and 6 postdoctoral research stations, making it a top medical research institution in Hebei. Its affiliated hospitals are all tertiary A-level hospitals, providing abundant clinical training resources.

HMU boasts a highly qualified faculty of over 19,000 staff (including affiliated hospitals), including national-level experts and renowned medical professionals. The curriculum emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, with clinical medicine adopting a '5+3' integrated training model to enhance clinical skills.

Research platforms include several provincial and ministerial key laboratories, such as the Hebei Key Laboratory of Neuroscience and the Hebei Key Laboratory of Tumor Microenvironment and Drug Resistance. The university undertakes numerous national and provincial research projects, achieving significant results in cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.

HMU has two campuses, Zhongshan and Jianhua, both located in central Shijiazhuang with convenient transportation. The campuses are green and well-equipped, featuring modern libraries, experimental centers, simulation hospitals, and sports facilities.
