📖Introduction

Established in 1956, the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SHUTCM) was one of the first four TCM colleges across China. It is also the exclusive leading medical college in Shanghai Municipal institutions of higher learning. In 1985, the Shanghai Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine was founded. At present, the University and the Academy are regulated under the same roof.

Ever since its establishment, the SHUTCM has been committed to the philosophy of pursuing ‘excellence rather than size, distinctiveness rather than inclusiveness and use rather than fame’. The past five decades have witnessed its equal emphasis on education, distinction, and openness. The SHUTCM recognizes its role in inheritance and further development of Chinese medicine and firmly believes Chinese medicine can promote the health of population worldwide.
