The Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM, Chinese: 北京中医药大学) is a public university in China. Founded in 1956, it is one of the first traditional Chinese medical institutions for higher learning in China. The university is affiliated with the Ministry of Education. It is part of Project 211 and the Double First-Class Construction.[1]

History

[edit]

Founded in 1956 as Beijing College of Chinese Medicine (BCCM). Renamed to BUCM in 1963.

The former Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and the former Beijing College of Acupuncture, Orthopedics and Traumatology merged into the new Beijing University of Chinese Medicine on July 31, 2000, and became a priority university directly under the supervision of the Ministry of Education.

[edit]

The current BUCM lists the following colleges and departments:[2]

  • School of Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • School of Chinese Materia Medica
  • School of Life Sciences
  • School of Acupuncture-moxibustion and Tuina
  • Qi-huang Chinese Medicine School (bachelor-doctorate programs)[3]

Affiliated institutions

[edit]

BUCM runs a number of TCM research organizations.[4] It hosts five TCM-related journals, one of which is in English (Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences, published by Elsevier).[5]

BUCM has an affiliated clinic and eight affiliated hospitals. Five of these hospitals are used as teaching hospitals.[6][7]

The BUCM also sold TCM preparations. In 2010, this formerly state-owned enterprise was converted into a limited liability company owned by two stockholders: Yabao Pharmaceutical Group and a Beizhong Asset Management Co owned by the university.[8]
