Global health systems are undergoing profound transformation. Population aging and the growing burden of chronic disease coincide with rapid advances in artificial intelligence, precision health, telehealth, and digital therapeutics. Care delivery is extending from hospital-centered models to community- and home-based settings, and interprofessional collaboration has become integral to quality and safety. These dynamics heighten worldwide demand for nurses who combine clinical excellence with research competence, data literacy, cultural agility, and sound ethical judgment.
Established in 1963, the School of Nursing at Taipei Medical University is committed to advancing health through education, research, and service. Innovation is our organizing principle: we translate emerging technologies and best available evidence into feasible, patient- and system-level solutions. Our curriculum is vertically integrated, offering a coherent pathway from the bachelor’s to the master’s and doctoral levels.
The bachelor’s program builds foundational competencies in clinical reasoning and patient safety, strengthens health assessment and interprofessional communication, and develops baseline data skills that enable students to identify clinical problems and propose viable improvements. The master’s program emphasizes Advanced Nursing and Evidence-Based Care, cultivating proficiency in study design, critical appraisal, and quality improvement to ensure systematic incorporation of high-quality evidence into clinical decision-making and care pathways. The doctoral program advances capabilities in policy analysis, leadership, and knowledge translation, integrating digital health and health data science to prepare graduates to mobilize teams and lead system-level change.
Our international orientation aligns local practice with global standards. Students have access to dual-degree and exchange opportunities, English-medium instruction, international research collaborations, and clinical placements in diverse settings. Teaching and practice span integrated acute–chronic care, critical care, oncology, community and healthy aging, maternal–child health, mental health and chronic disease management, smart and digital health, nursing education, and health policy. Across these domains, we adopt an innovation-plus-evidence approach that links authentic clinical questions to rigorous inquiry and returns findings to practice and policy in a continuous improvement cycle.
To our students: let innovation guide your curiosity, evidence anchor your decisions, and compassion and ethics shape your practice. Build robust clinical skills; strengthen your research and data capabilities; and develop proficiency in English and cross-cultural communication. Engage actively in international exchange and service learning; learn to lead within interprofessional teams; and translate ideas into measurable impact that advances health equity. The faculty and I are committed to supporting your development at TMU as you become nursing professionals who improve lives and drive positive change—locally and globally—through expertise, integrity, and innovation.
