General Practice

The General Practice Department was officially established on April 10, 2023. Its establishment marks a new milestone in the development of Peking University International Hospital’s academic disciplines, as well as a new phase in medical, teaching, and research development.

The Department of General Practice will rely on the strong medical capabilities of various specialties at Peking University International Hospital. It integrates medical care, teaching, and research, and is dedicated to cultivating highly skilled, well-rounded general medicine professionals. The main functions of the department include providing general medicine-related diagnosis and treatment services, undertaking general medicine teaching, training, and research activities, and training high-level general medicine talent.

Through the exemplary teaching by the department’s faculty, the department will leverage the advantages of general medicine in a comprehensive hospital setting in clinical practice, teaching, and research. The department will collaborate with community healthcare institutions to train highly skilled general practitioners, supporting the implementation of two-way referrals between the comprehensive hospital and community healthcare institutions.

General practice is a comprehensive medical discipline that integrates clinical medicine, preventive medicine, rehabilitation medicine, and human social sciences. It focuses on patient-centered care, with specialties in chronic diseases, common diseases, frequently occurring diseases, multi-morbidity, mental health issues, and medication management.

The department provides continuous, comprehensive medical services to patients. Currently, the department includes a general medicine outpatient clinic and inpatient wards. The outpatient clinic includes regular general medicine services, an international clinic, and an adult vaccination clinic. The inpatient wards primarily treat patients with undiagnosed conditions, acute exacerbations of chronic diseases, and elderly patients with multiple co-existing health conditions.
