Shandong Medical University is now the west campus of the newly formed Shandong University system. Its garden-like campus is quiet and tasteful, full of trees and flowers with its buildings in a style, which combines traditional Chinese and Western architecture. Sitting at the foot of the scenic Qianfo Mountain and in the vicinity of the famous Baotu Spring and with the Botanical Garden to the south and the Square of Spring City to the north, the school provides an excellent learning and research environment for motivated students wishing to pursue study in medicine.

Its long history can be traced back to 1891 when Huamei Medical School was first established in Jinan. Based on it, Gonghe Medical College was set up in 1903. And in 1911 the completion of the Teaching Hall of Gonghe Medical College marked the formal establishment of the Medical College of Cheeloo University. In 1952, as one of the earliest medical institutions of higher learning, the school was renamed Shandong Medical College by merging the Medical College of Cheeloo University, Shandong Provincial Medical College and East China Norman Bethune Medical College. In its more than 100 years' history, the school witnessed many historic events such as the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War. After the founding of the P.R.China, the school made remarkable development in 1950's and 60's, and major expansion in 1980's and 90's. With the approach of the new century, the school joined another merge with Shandong University and Shandong Polytechnic University, which opened a new page in its history.
