  Abstract: Objective: This paper is to understand the current distribution and the regional difference of undergraduate medical colleges in China. Methods: The descriptive statistical method was adopted for the number and level of colleges, using indicators like frequency, composition ratio, etc. The correlation of regional GDP, regional population and the scale of colleges was analyzed to study the distribution of colleges in different provinces and regions. Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient and Theil index were used to analyze the difference of the distribution of colleges. Results: There are 420 undergraduate medical colleges in China, and the distribution is uneven. The level of colleges is different. The distribution of master and doctor programs is uneven. The scale of graduate students with master’s degree and doctoral degree in each region is highly correlated with the total GDP of the region, while the overall scale of students and undergraduate students have a higher correlation with the total population of the region. The differences in the distribution of undergraduate medical schools mainly originate from intragroup difference of these regions, but the intergroup differences between regions cannot be ignored. Conclusion: The number of undergraduate medical colleges in China is relatively insufficient. The level of these colleges is different. The distribution of master and doctor programs is uneven. The regional distribution of these colleges is different. Therefore, the regional balanced development needs to be promoted.
