The Hubei University of Medicine (HUM, Chinese: 湖北医药学院) is a public university in Shiyan City, Hubei Province, China. Founded in 1965, it was originally known as Wuhan Medical College Yunyang School (Chinese: 武汉医学院郧阳分院).

History[edit]

The school was founded in 1965 as Wuhan Medical College Yunyang School (武汉医学院郧阳分院), and its first vice president was Dr. Shixiao Xiang (项士孝).[4][5]

In order to establish the medical school in a remote mountain area in the northwest of Hubei Province, a team of 54 staff members composed of professionals and managers were selected from Wuhan Medical College (武汉医学院). Led by associate professor Shixiao Xiang, the school was first set up in Yun County(郧县), Yunyang, Hubei Province.[4][5] Classes began in January 1966 with 130 first-year students.[5]

In the spring of 1967, with the construction of the Second Automobile Works and the establishment of the Shiyan City, the school moved to its current location in Shiyan.[5]
