Nanjing University has years of history in medical education and research or related to medical service. Although in ancient times, e.g., in Ming Dynasty, in Nanking, the Imperial Medical Institute (太醫院) was independent from Imperial University (國子監 太學), besides officials, some graduates of the university became teachers (先生, 老師), and also advisers (幕僚, 師爺), lawyers (法家, 訟師), etc, as well as doctors (大夫, 醫師). Nanjing University established medical school in 1927 for the first time, with division of basic medicine in Nanjing and clinical medicine in Shanghai, and the school was renamed Medical College of National Central University in 1928. It's the first national university medical school in China. The first dean was Yan Fuqing (顏福慶). The Medical College of National Central University became independent National Shanghai Medical College in 1932. In 1935, National Central University founded medical school for the second time, and it's located in Nanjing. Qi Shounan (戚壽南) was appointed its first dean. Meanwhile, National School of Dentistry (國立牙醫專科學校), the first public dental school in China, was also founded by the university.[1] National Central University moved to Chungking while its medical school and the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Agricultural School moved to Chengdu during Anti-Japanese war. In 1949, the Medical College of National Central University was renamed Medical College of National Nanjing University. The Nanjing University Medical College was changed to be Eastern Military Medical College in 1952, then moved to Xi'an and became the Fourth Military Medical University in 1954.
In 1987, Nanjing University again reestablished medical school, and it was the only university medical school in mainland China at the time. Nanjing Gulou Hospital, formerly the hospital of University of Nanking, became clinical teaching hospital. In 1994, Nanjing Stomatological Hospital became the third clinical teaching hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, after Gulou Hospital and Nanjing General Hospital, and Nanjing University Medical School established School of Stomatology in 2009.
