In 1906, the Peking Union Medical College (P.U.M.C.) was founded by the Chinese government in collaboration with American and British religious groups
In 1917, the Peking Union Medical College was re-organized under the patronage of the Rockefeller Foundation. At that time, it also relocated to Dong Dan San Tiao in Beijing (Peking) where it still stands. After the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) was established in 1956, the Peking Union Medical College was affiliated with it. The P.U.M.C. has developed into one the most finest medical schools in China.
