Discovery sources

Limitations: Mainland China only (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have their own files). No official, accessible national list of institutions offering 临床医学 was available: the CHSI 阳光高考 programme database returned a 412 bot wall, so candidates were selected from the MOE 2026 national list of higher-education institutions by name and known medical units, and each was checked on its own official website. Institutions without 'medical' in their name that run 临床医学 may be missing. Records are marked operating only where a 2025 or 2026 admissions/plan page lists 临床医学; the rest are not_verified. 36 candidates are unresolved (site unreachable, bot walls, or JavaScript/image-only pages). The Army and Naval Medical Universities are unresolved: no official 2025/2026 undergraduate 临床医学 evidence could be fetched. The MOE list of universities admitting international students to English-taught Clinical Medicine (MBBS) was not added as a source because its official URL could not be re-located (web search budget exhausted). English names are translations unless the institution's own page gives one; ownership, teaching language and international admissions are recorded only where quoted.
