History
In 1933, Donglu University initiated a specialized associate program in medicine. This has evolved and grown into the Kunming Medical University (KMU) of today.
In 1937, the program expanded and became known as the School of Medicine of Yunnan University, formerly Donglu University. In 1956, the School became an independent medical education institution known as Kunming Medical College, and in 1993 was listed among the key higher education institutions in the province. In the over 70 years since its inception, Kunming Medical University has established itself as the largest specialized medical university in Yunnan and leads the way in medical education, scientific research and medical services.
