Stomatological college of Nanjing Medical University

Stomatological College of Nanjing Medical University, also known as Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Stomatological Hospital of Jiangsu Province), traces its origin back to the Stomatology Specialty of the Department of Medicine of Jiangsu New Medical College founded in 1974. It was independently established as the Department of Stomatology in 1979 and upgraded to the College of Stomatology in 1993. It is one of the earlier established stomatology colleges in China. The college has five departments, including the Department of Oral Medicine, the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the Department of Prosthodontics, the Department of Orthodontics, and the Department of Oral Basic Sciences. In the 2023 China Hospital Five-Year Total Science and Technology Output Value (ASTEM) Ranking and the latest China's Best Oral Specialty Reputation Ranking released by the Institute of Hospital Management of Fudan University, our college ranked 7th and 8th respectively in the national stomatology field, both ranking 1st in Jiangsu.

The college has established a national key laboratory for oral disease research and prevention (under cultivation and construction), the Jiangsu Oral Translational Medicine Engineering Research Center, and the Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases of Nanjing Medical University. At the same time, as the Jiangsu Oral Medicine Innovation Center and a construction unit of research-oriented hospitals in Jiangsu Province, it has undertaken more than 200 projects at all levels in the past five years, including more than 50 national projects such as key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and has successively won the second prize of the Outstanding Scientific Research Achievements Award for Higher Education Institutions of the Ministry of Education, the second prize of the Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education, and the second prize of the Jiangsu Science and Technology Award. The sponsored magazines "Stomatology" and "Oral Biomedicine" are both Chinese core journals of science and technology.

The college currently has nearly 900 faculty, medical and nursing staff, with more than 160 senior professional titles, including 23 doctoral supervisors and 68 master supervisors. More than 90 experts have held academic positions in the Chinese Stomatological Association, and there are more than 50 people of various provincial and above talents such as national "Ten Thousand Talents Plan" teaching masters, experts enjoying special government allowances from the State Council, "Young and Middle-aged Experts with Outstanding Contributions" in Jiangsu Province, outstanding medical leading talents in Jiangsu Province, recipients of the Jiangsu Outstanding Youth Fund, and specially appointed professors in Jiangsu Province.

The stomatology discipline is the only advantageous discipline in stomatology in Jiangsu Province, and it is the only postdoctoral research mobile station, the first-level discipline doctoral degree and professional doctoral degree authorization point in stomatology in the province. It ranked 5th in the 2023 Soft Science Ranking of Chinese University Oral Majors, ranking 1st in Jiangsu. The Jiangsu Stomatology Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center has a domestically leading simulation head model laboratory, which has trained most of the stomatologists with undergraduate degrees or above, directors and discipline leaders of stomatological medical institutions in Jiangsu Province. The outstanding alumnus, Professor Cunyu Wang, was elected as the first Chinese-American academician from the Chinese mainland in the past 30 years by the National Academy of Medicine of the United States and was appointed as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2013. The stomatology major has been approved as a national first-class undergraduate major construction site and a Jiangsu brand major successively. It has built a four-level first-class curriculum system of national-provincial-university-college-hospital and has been rated as 6 national first-class courses. It has constructed the first virtual simulation resource network platform for stomatology education in China and formed an operation model of a high-quality teaching resource co-construction and sharing alliance. The college innovates the practical teaching model with competency orientation to cultivate applied stomatology talents. This teaching model has won the second prize of the National Teaching Achievement Award and the first prize of the Jiangsu Teaching Achievement Award.
