School of Medicine of Chongqing University was founded in 1946, and merged into West China Union Medical College (now West China Medical Center of Sichuan University) in 1952 when the national departments were adjusted. Since 1970s, Chongqing University has started the discipline construction in the field of life medicine with biomedicine as the breakthrough point, giving full play to the advantages of engineering, in which biomedical engineering is a national first-class key discipline, and clinical medicine, zoology and botany are pre-ESI 1% disciplines.

In recent years, in order to meet the internal needs of the development of "double first-class" construction and restore the construction of medical disciplines, after nearly three years of preparation, a high-level academic team with reasonable academic structure and high-end talents such as external academicians, Chongqing University's 10,000-person plan and 100-person plan have gradually gathered, forming certain disciplinary characteristics and advantages in the research fields of medical neurobiology, oncology, first aid and trauma medicine, molecular medicine and regenerative medicine. On June 20 18, Chongqing University formally established the Institute of Advanced Medicine of Chongqing University (Medical College) (No.:176 [20 18]), which took a key step in the vigorous and comprehensive construction of medical disciplines in Chongqing University.
