studyinchina.helpMedicine, TCM and Nursing Programs in Guizhou Listed for International Students
Seven institutions in Guizhou appear in the provincial admission brochure for international students with programs in medicine, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or nursing. For each program, the brochure gives the program name, study length and teaching language. It does not give tuition, scholarship amounts or application deadlines, so those need to be checked directly with each university.
Institutions listed
The brochure lists the following institutions with programs in these fields:
- 贵阳康养职业大学（Guiyang Healthcare Vocational University）
- 贵州医科大学（Guizhou Medical University）
- 贵州中医药大学（Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine）
- 遵义医科大学（Zunyi Medical University）
- 贵州中医药大学时珍学院（Shizhen College of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine）
- 贵州护理职业技术学院（Guizhou Nursing Vocational College）
- 铜仁职业技术学院（Tongren Polytechnic College）
This article covers medicine, TCM, pharmacy, nursing, midwifery and medical imaging or laboratory programs. It leaves out rehabilitation and sports-recovery programs, food safety, ecology and general Chinese-language courses. The brochure lists some of those courses separately, and they are noted below the table.

Some points about the table:
- The Guizhou University of TCM and Zunyi Medical University tables have a column headed 招生数量 (enrolment numbers), but the entries in that column are study lengths. The brochure gives no enrolment figures for any program.
- For Tongren Polytechnic College, the brochure's column is the college (学院), not a level. For Shizhen College, the brochure lists a description and length but no level. Those cells are left as "Not given."
- Guiyang Healthcare Vocational University also lists a one-year 汉语进修生 (Chinese language) course, taught in Chinese.
- Guizhou Medical University's table lists only the two programs above.
- Zunyi Medical University also lists a 语言进修生 (language student) course of one or two years, taught in Chinese.
- Guizhou University of TCM also lists a one-year 汉语言进修 (Chinese language) course and a 短期项目进修(医疗) (short-term medical programme) of one to three months. The brochure gives the teaching language for the short-term course as Chinese, English and other languages with classroom interpretation.
- Shizhen College lists a 语言生 (Chinese language) course of one semester or one year, taught in Chinese. The brochure says this course serves people who want to improve their Chinese or who plan to enter the college's medical programs.
What the brochure does not give
The brochure does not give the following details, so this article does not state them:
- Tuition and other fees
- Scholarship types or amounts
- Application deadlines for any intake
- Document lists or language test requirements, including HSK
- Enrolment numbers for any program
- Any information on graduate licensing or professional qualifications
For fees, scholarships and deadlines, the brochure refers readers to each university's international education office or international exchange office. The latest notice on the university's official website applies.
What to confirm with each university
Before you apply, confirm these points on the university's official website or with its international office:
- Check the current tuition and fees for the program you want.
- Check the scholarship types, amounts and eligibility rules.
- Check the application deadline for the intake you plan to join.
- Check the full document list for your nationality and program level.
- Check the required Chinese or English language test, including any HSK level.
- Confirm whether the program is taught in Chinese, English or both.
- Confirm the study length and start date for the intake year.
- Confirm the enrolment numbers for the program, since the brochure does not give them.
