China Medical University(Chinese: 中國醫藥大學; pinyin: zhōng guó yī yào dà xué) was founded in 1958 as China Medical College (中國醫藥學院). In 2003, the institution renamed itself to its present name. Today the university enrolls approximately 8000 students in its Taichung, Taiwan campus.[1]

Although its English name is the same as a university in Shenyang, Mainland China, the Chinese name of the mainland university is different: 中國醫科大學.

History

Brief Introduction

China Medical University (CMU) was established as China Medical College on June 6, 1958 and transformed itself into China Medical University in 2003. It is the first academic institution in Taiwan where Chinese medicine and pharmacy programs are provided. The university has steadily grown to its present position as one of the foremost medical universities in Taiwan. The university has two major campuses, Taichung and Beigang.

Located in the center of Taichung City, CMU includes 6 colleges where western medicine, Chinese medicine, pharmacy (including Chinese herbs), health care (including nursing), life sciences, and public health educational, research and practice programs are provided. Interdisciplinary courses are also available as the basis for students to integrate their learning experiences. With CMU’s top ranked laboratories, a library and reference center, two comprehensive teaching hospitals, and a strong staff commitment to students, our university provides a total approach to medical education in a caring, nurturing and well-equipped environment.

Academic Alliance Network

To promote strategic partnerships in education and research through a national network of students, teachers, and universities, we actively work with other universities and research institutions. The alliance will continually facilitate the development of educational and research resources to support higher education in Taiwan.

The academic alliance network includes:

Recently, closer multilateral cooperation with Academia Sinica, National Health Research Institutes (NHRI), National Research Institute of Chinese Medicine, National Museum of Natural Science, National Taiwan University, International Hua-Xia Medicine Society and has been launched. Proposals concerning graduate student training and research collaboration are under preparation.
