Academic exchange and cooperation were actively preformed between SOM and other institutions, such as Academy of Military Medical Sciences and University of Pennsylvania of America.

In recent 10 years since establishment, SOM paid more attention to teaching and the training of students’ overall quality, resulting in an increasing quality of undergraduates. The admission rate of graduates for undergraduates was raised yearly since the first grade of undergraduates graduated from SOM. In 2010 the rate was 57.5% which was ranked in first place in Henan University. The rate of employment for undergraduates was more than 95% on graduation. The quality of postgraduates was also remarkably improved which was demonstrated with 50% SCI high-quality papers published by the postgraduates.

The achievements belonged to the past. The future will be brighter. We will put the subject construction in the first place, emphasize on the research, focusing on the construction of teaching team and the training of students. Efforts will be made to get the authorization of doctorate in basic and clinical medicine as the primary disciplines.
