He received qualifications in both medicine and surgery from the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (LRCPE LRCSEd 1881). In 1882/83 he was sent to Mukden (now Shenyang) in northeastern China as a medical missionary and opened the Shengjing Clinic. For the next 30 years Christie worked towards opening a full medical school; as funds became available (from Scottish churches, the Chinese government and local people) the clinic became a hospital and in 1911/12 Christie became the first Principal of the Mukden Medical College. MMC was the first foreign medical college to be opened in north-eastern China.
Christie retired in the mid-1920s and died, in Edinburgh, on 2 December 1936. He is buried with his second wife, Elizabeth Inglis (1855-1952), in the north-east section of the Grange Cemetery.”
