Abstract: This paper examines some of the more significant issues in western medical education in China, in the early 1900s, by viewing them through the single case of the establishment and dissolution of the Harvard Medical School of China. In particular, this case illustrates some of the fundamental philosophical differences in the way medical missionary educators and the Rockefeller Foundation's China Medical Commission viewed the development of scientific medical education in China.
