Abstract: Objective To promote scientific and technological innovation management and optimize technology resources by evaluating scientific and technological innovation efficiency of medical universities in China dynamically. Methods Combined with factor analysis theory, Malmquist index model was made to evaluate technological progress with variable scale, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of medical universities in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities under the central government) from 2008 to 2012. Results and Conclusion Medical scientific and technological innovation efficiency in China dropped by an annual rate of 1.2% from 2008 to 2012. Scientific and technological innovation efficiency of medical universities in China was affected by the decline of technological progress, which continued its downward trend.

Key words: medical university, innovation efficiency, factor analysis, Malmquist index model
