摘要
The gray building complex, hidden among the trees east of Wangfujing Street—the busiest shopping area in Beijing—is the place where China’s two most famous and highest level medical research and teaching institutions are located. Established in 1917, the Beijing Union Medical College is the only key college of the eight-year system in the country. Nearly all of its graduates hold a doctorate degree. The Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences was established in 1956 and is the only comprehensive medical scientific research center in China, which merges scientific research, medical treatment and education into an organic whole.
