Stanford Medicine

An academic medical center, Stanford Medicine comprises three entities: Stanford University School of Medicine; Stanford Health Care; and Stanford Children’s Health and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. Our mission is tripartite: to promote fundamental, clinical, and translational discovery; to train the leaders of tomorrow; and to transform patient care.

Under the umbrella of Stanford Medicine, we share a common aspiration to improve human health during this time of unprecedented possibilities in biomedicine. We believe that the patient is at the center of what we do — and that to provide the best care for every patient requires pushing the boundaries of discovery, mentoring the next generation of leaders, and delivering compassionate and coordinated care.

Stanford Medicine has a bold vision to lead the biomedical revolution in Precision Health. By leveraging emerging disciplines from biomedical data science to health care value science, we are developing and defining this next generation of health care that is focused on keeping people healthy and providing care that is tailored to individual variations. We call this Precision Health. It’s predictive, proactive, personalized, and patient-centered.

Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine

Founded in 1952 during the nationwide reorganization of institutes of higher education, Shanghai Second Medical College was a merger of the School of Medicine of St. John’s University (1896–1952), the Medical College of Aurora University (1918–1952), and the Tong-De Medical College, three long-standing medical institutions. In 1985, the school was renamed Shanghai Second Medical University. In July 2005, under an agreement signed by the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Ministry of Education, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai Second Medical University, both with a long history, were merged into one. The new medical school was named Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (SJTUSM). Adhering to the fine tradition of accepting and adopting the best of all schools of thought and learning the merits of all kinds of practices, as well as carrying forward the spirit of exploring medical science to the limit through diligence and dedication, SJTUSM has developed its own educational style and characteristics. Since the merging of the two universities, while continuing its pursuit of the relief of human suffering and the perfection of health, SJTUSM has incorporated Jiao Tong University’s ideal of “bearing in mind the source of happiness and bringing credit to the school by serving the country.”
