Abstract: The medical appraisal opinion is of importance in determining and judging medical dispute litigations. However， the current medical appraisal system in China is a dual one， consisting of appraisal of medical accident by medical associations and appraisal of medical malpractice by forensic appraisal institutions. Though the implementation of The Tort Law of the People’s Republic of China on July 1st， 2010 eliminates the duality in the application of law regarding medical dispute litigations， the appraisal system has not been unified yet. The paper proposes to set up a unified appraisal system and bring in the expert assistant system to assist and supervise the unified appraisal system. The author hopes that the new system could be more fair and efficient to solve medical disputes in building a more harmonious doctor-patient relationship in the society.
