Kaohsiung Medical University (originally known as Kaohsiung
Medical College) was formally established in 1954. Apart from being the first
private medical university in Taiwan, the university has also become an
important cradle for highly-skilled physicians and medical-related specialists.
Kaohsiung Medical University was a center of both medical care and the study of
local tropical medicine in the early days. The college set aside its tropical
disease research mission after the World Health Organization announced that was
no longer a tropical disease endemic area, and turned its full attention to the
steadily evolving areas of basic medical science and clinical medical research.
The university has also continued to strengthen its medical services. Kaohsiung
Medical University therefore has laid a solid foundation as southern Taiwan’s
leading medical institution.
After Kaohsiung Medical College became a university in the
summer of 1999, it seized this opportunity to move faster and further and
attain to the highest standards in teaching, research and service. The shared
vision of everyone at Kaohsiung Medical University is to make the university a
modern, forward-looking institution striving for excellence in both academics
and medical care. Kaohsiung Medical University has all the strengths of a
well-established university. There is a wide range of medical related courses,
and the facilities both for basic and clinical research are sufficient and of a
good quality. The university is located in the city center of Kaohsiung, the
second biggest city in Taiwan, which has all the attractions and excitement of
city life.
