In the early years, college brought together public health and established nation’s first Graduate Institute of Injury Prevention and Control in 2000. To encompass the value of total care, the college established Health Policy and Care Research Center in 2011 to address issues such as Taiwan’s aging society, medical resources allocation, and gender and health inequalitie.
The Health and Clinical Research Data Center was established in 2012 to conduct value-added analysis for large-scale databases of the nation, such as the national health insurance database, cancer registry, death registry and large-scale health survey databases. Beyond helping teachers and medical personnel at the university and its three affiliated hospitals to publish high-quality, high-value academic papers, it presents clinical observations using evidence-based data to improve the quality of medical care, to develop policy translation and to play a think tank role along with the Health Policy and Care Research Center.
