Following the outstanding academic tradition of Peking University, IMH provides high quality education at various levels for undergraduates, graduates, and post-doctoral fellows. In 2002, IMH was approved to be the teaching facility dedicated for Chinese National Continuing Medical Education in Psychiatry. Every year, the IMH holds numerous training classes and provides various types of talents around China. As the only WHO Mental Health Collaborating Center for Research and Training and the only first-wave teaching facility dedicated for Chinese National Continuing Medical Education in Psychiatry, the IMH kept up with the psychiatric professional training programs around the world. At the same time, the IMH has been exploring new methods for the Chinese clinical training in psychiatry, establishing brand training programs, organizing the committee for the national qualification of medical skill, and participating in projects related to the development of national regulations of medical training.

As the number of graduate students increases every year, the IMH has more than a hundred graduate students currently, making them an indispensible part of the IMH clinical and research team. Every year, the IMH provides tens of master and doctoral graduates to various parts of China. Many of these IMH alumni have become leaders in their own institutions.
