Shandong Tai’an Population School was merged into Taishan Medical College. In 2017, Taishan Medical College was renamed Shandong First Medical University.

In 2001, Tai'an Population School of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, Tai'an Chemical Engineering School, and Shandong Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing School were merged into Taishan Medical College to establish a new college. The following year, the medical school began to build a new campus covering an area of ??3,000 acres in the south of Tai'an City, and subsequently expanded its enrollment.

After Taishan Medical College merged to establish a new campus, the school had the idea of ??changing its name. In 2011, when the school was working on the 13th Five-Year Plan, it was clearly stated that it would be upgraded to a medical university at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan. To this end, the school has also established a leading group for renaming. After several twists and turns, Taishan Medical College was finally renamed Shandong First Medical University.

The merger of Taishan Medical College seemed logical, but Peng Chunlei, deputy dean of Taishan Medical College, did not expect that the name change process would be a bit complicated. In the past two years, four names have appeared when different departments introduced the future university to the public.

In addition to the earliest proposed "East China Medical University", on January 21, 2017, at the 12th Congress of the Communist Party of China in Huaiyin District, Jinan City, a reporter from "Qilu Evening News" It was learned that the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government integrated Taishan Medical College and the Provincial Academy of Medical Sciences to form a university, which was officially named "Shandong Provincial Medical University".

However, this school name was just a flash in the pan. In early June 2017, the Shandong Provincial People's Government's "Notice on the Establishment of Qilu Medical University (Preparatory) and the New Qilu University of Technology" announced: After research by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, it was decided to integrate Taishan Medical College, Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, and Shandong Provincial A hospital was established and Qilu Medical University (in preparation) was established.

However, four months later, the name of Qilu Medical University was no longer among the list to be approved by the Ministry of Education for the above-mentioned applied universities, and the "application name" based on Taishan Medical College became "Shandong First Medical University".
