Chinese western science-based medical education has developed since the
nineteenth century. At present, there are around 150 medical schools in China.
Due to China’s political system, all China’s medical universities are public
and government funded and all of them find a place in the World Health
Organization (WHO)’s “Directory of World Medical Schools”. Among them, 49
accredited medical universities admit international students for English-medium
MBBS program and others have the right to enroll overseas students in Chinese
taught medical programs.
In
China, doctors are regarded as a decent profession with high salaries which
makes Medicine a very popular and competitive specialty for Chinese
college-bound youth. Therefore, the admission for Chinese students into the
medical institutions requires comparatively higher national
entrance-examination scores than any other major in China. Furthermore, the
examinees are required to have good physical conditions.
The
duration of China’s medical education normally lasts for five to seven years
and the academic year in China generally starts in August or September.
There’re five-year medical program for bachelor’s degree and seven-year medical
program for both a Bachelor and Master’s degree. Students of five-year program
are expected to acquire the knowledge of the basic medical sciences and
preventive medicine as well as possess certain clinical skills, while the
seven-year program requires a close connection between studies in the medical
basic sciences and clinical practice through three-year preclinical medicine
education and 4-year clinical medicine education. After basic education,
Chinese medical students should undertake internship, which is usually in the
medical school’s affiliated hospital.
