Abstract: This study utilizes empirical research method to compile the questionnaire for the motivation of Chinese medical students coming to China. The survey was conducted on 653 medical students from 55 origin countries and 8 universities in China. In addition to motivation research, we also analyzes the relationship between the factors such as university, educational background, gender and origin of students and the motivation. The results show that safe and stable social environment, profound history and culture, and a large number of universities are the most important motives for foreign students to study medicine in China. There are significant differences in the motivations of international medical students from different genders, universities, and educational background to study abroad, and but there were no significant differences among students from different countries of origin.

Keywords: Medical education, international student, motivation, study in China
