History

In 1915, the Shandong Provincial Medical Training Institute was established.[5]

In 1932, the medical institute was developed into "Shandong Medical College".[6]

In 1952, the medical college and the medical school of Cheeloo University (or Qilu University) were merged to form the new Shandong Medical College.[6]

In 1970, Shandong Medical College moved from Jinan to Loude Town, Tai'an City.[6]

In 1974, part of the college moved back to Jinan, while the other part became the Loude Branch of Shandong Medical College.[6][3]

In 1979, the Loude Branch moved to Tai'an City and was renamed the "Tai'an Branch of Shandong Medical College".[6][3]

In May 2017, the Shandong Provincial People's Government proposed to integrate Taishan Medical College, Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, and Shandong Provincial Hospital into "Qilu Medical University" (Preparatory). However, this name was opposed by alumni of Qilu University, who argued that the "Qilu Medicine" brand belonged to Shandong University.[7]

On February 28, 2019, Shandong First Medical University (Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences) was officially established on the basis of Taishan Medical College, Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, Shandong Provincial Hospital and other resources, retaining the name of "Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences".[8][9][1]
