I-SHOU UNIVERSITYCollege of Medicine

Education and research in a medical college bear special features when compared with those in other academic institutions. The academia in medical colleges has been considered a complex system, and in order to obtain expertise, it requires long-lasting efforts. The medical college cultivates healthcare providers who devote themselves to curing diseases, relieving pain or suffering, comforting patients, and pursuing public health as well.
