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 transformed itself to China Medical University. 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 [edit]

Brief Introduction [edit]

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 seven colleges where various degree programs in western medicine, Chinese medicine, pharmacy (including Chinese herbs), health care (including nursing), life sciences, public health, and management are provided. Interdisciplinary courses are also available as the basis for students to integrate their learning experiences. With a few top ranked laboratories, a library and reference center, two comprehensive teaching hospitals, the goal of CMU is to provide a total approach to medical education in a caring, nurturing and well-equipped environment.^[2]

News and Development [edit]

In 2012, the Center for World-Class Universities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University released the 10th edition of its annual global university ranking on 15 August. Due to the dedication of all the faculties, China Medical University (CMU) for the first time ranks top 500 (453) in "Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU)" with other top universities in Taiwan, including National Taiwan University, National Cheng Kung University, National Tsing Hua University, Chang Gung University, National Chiao Tung University, National Central University, National Sun Yat-Sen University, and National Yang Ming University. CMU is the only university in central Taiwan to rank top 500 (453). Moreover, in the field of Clinical Medicine and Pharmacy, the ranking of CMU even reaches the top 200 (151), in which only three Taiwan universities are enlisted.

For the past few years, China Medical University has impressed the public with several remarkable achievements. Since 2006, CMU has been awarded with consecutive Teaching Excellence Grants by the Ministry of Education, ranking highest among medical universities in Taiwan based on student population. In the fiscal year of 2011-2012, CMU even ranks the top one nationwide. In addition, the School of Medicine successfully passed the accreditation by the Taiwan Medical Accreditation Council (TMAC) and was rewarded with an exemption for the next 7 years. In 2010, owing to implementation of the mini-CEX clinical procedure, China Medical University received the recognition of National Human Power Innovation Award by the Council of Labor Affairs, Executive Yuan.
