China is now in the social transition period when there are sorts of problems that cause constant medical dispute which has become a big issue of the whole community. Many doctors expressed dissatisfaction with the practicing environment. In this status quo, according to the "People's Republic of China Medical Practitioners law", the Chinese Medical Doctor Association announced its establishment in January 9, 2002. As a family of doctors, Association represent the fundamental interests of doctors industry, with special emphasis on safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of doctors groups.

The data showed that the majority of doctors willing to be administrated by their own association, and approve the "professional self-discipline", furthermore, some doctors also put forward their own proposals to the association.
