History

On September 12, 1960, our university held a grand opening ceremony for its inaugural class of students at Landianchang. The photograph shows Comrade Wu Jieping delivering a speech at the ceremony.

At the end of September 1960, our university relocated to its present site. At that time, the teaching building was only half completed (namely the western half of what is now the Jieping Building). It served simultaneously as a teaching and office facility, as well as dormitory accommodation for students and unmarried staff members.

On September 19, 1964, the first cohort of students from the Department of Nursing graduated from our university. The photograph shows the graduates posing for a group photo with some faculty members and school leaders.

In 1985, the Beijing Municipal Government approved the renaming of our institution to Capital Medical College. In 1986, it was designated as a municipal key institution of higher learning.
