The Tàiyīyuàn 太醫院 (“Imperial Medical Academy”) was the central institution of state medicine in late-imperial China, with a continuous existence from the Jīn dynasty (when the office of 太醫局 was renamed Tàiyīyuàn under the Jīnshǐ 金史 bǎiguān establishment) through the Yuán, Míng, and Qīng. The Qīng Tàiyīyuàn (1644–1911) was headed by a yuànshǐ 院使 (grade 4a) supported by yuànpàn 院判 (grade 5a) and a staff of yùyī 御醫 (palace physicians), lìmù 吏目 (subordinate physicians), yīshì 醫士 (medical assistants), and yīshēng 醫生 (students). Its functions included palace medical service, manufacture and storage of compounded preparations for the imperial household, examination and training of the medical bureaucracy, and the maintenance of working formularies. Several Qīng-dynasty palace formularies — including the Tàiyīyuàn mìcáng gāo dān wán sǎn fāngjì KR3ed055 — preserve excerpts from the institution’s working pharmacy stock. The Qīng Tàiyīyuàn was abolished with the Qīng dynasty itself in 1911. This is an institutional “person” entry, not an individual.
