  1. Proposal on PhD students exchange program between the Institute of Medicine, CSMU andGraduate School, UAB Meng-Chih Lee, MD, PhD, MPH Professor and Director Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University Taichung, TAIWAN

  2. Introduction to IOM, CSMU • In order to promote biomedical research and to train future qualified faculty and researchers, the Institute of Medicine, the first and leading graduate school in Chung Shan Medical University, has initiated offering a Master of science and a PhD degree program since 1979 and 1998, respectively. • Up to the present time, this institute is the only organization to offer the PhD program in the field of medicine in central Taiwan.

  3. Goals of Graduate Education IOM, CSMU Throughout the graduate education, our students should demonstrate: • Attitudes of self-directed and life-long learning • Professionalism • Biomedical knowledge and its application • Research ability • Adequate teaching skills, and • International perspectives

  4. Faculty Offer 69 courses for PhD program, and 145 courses for Master program

  5. Main Areas of Research • Toxicology and carcinogenesis: e.g. Environmental ＆biological factors and cancer (ex. non-small cell lung cancer＆ colon cancer). • Immunology: e.g. Autoimmune antibody. • AIDS: Collaborative research with Dr. David D. Ho, Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, The Rockefeller University, New York, N.Y., USA • Taiwan Birth Cohort Study (TBCS)： A longitudinal study to follow-up health and its related factors of a birth cohort of 25,000 newborns for 10 years.

  6. Study Group • Working Timeline： 1. First Phase( 2005 ) ： Form study group 2. Second Phase( 2006 ) ： Raise proposal 3. Third Phase(2007-2009)：Review of productivity

  7. Laboratories: 1.Molecular Medicine Lab. (Univ. Research Building) 2.Clinical Research Center (2F of Univ. Hospital)

  8. Acceptance Rate of Application (佰分比) (學年度)

  9. Master Program • The master program recruits 36 candidates with a health sciences-related bachelor degree. The average study period is 2 years. Entrance into the master program is based on a written examination (40%) and interview ( 60%) • There are three study areas: Clinical medicine Basic medical sciences Health services administration

  10. PhD Program • The PhD program recruits 25 candidates with a health sciences-related master degree. The study period of PhD degree is 3-7 years. Entrance into the PhD program is based on a written examination (40%), interview (40%) and review of application materials (20%). • There are four study areas : Clinical medicine Basic medical sciences Nursing Health services administration

  11. United Faculty and Graduate Students Presentations of Research Outcomes 1. One of University Anniversary activities 2. 6 awards for oral presentations 3. 6 awards for poster presentations

  12. Presentations at International Academic Conferences

  13. Grants • There are totally 66 grants, equaling US$ 1,100,000 from 2003-6,predominantly from the National Sciences Council (NSC) and NHRI

  14. Publications • There are totally 170 articles published in SCI from 2003-6, while 250 in domestic journals • Among published papers in SCI journals, 75 were written by PhD students

  15. Alumni of PhD (N=51). 26 (50%) become faculty. 20 (41%) in professional services.3 (5%) at research institute. 2 (4%) in military services

  16. Our Future • Forming and facilitating study groups for interested areas of research • Promoting collaborative research with domestic and international institutes. • Continuously conducting large-scale cohort studies on risk factors of selected diseases • Providing more scientific and epidemiological practical training for graduate students. • Creating international experience by exchange programs for graduate students.

  17. Proposal on PhD students exchange program between the Institute of Medicine, CSMU and Graduate School, UABBackgrounds Backgrounds Since 2007, Chung Shan’s PhD program requires an international learning experience for PhD students.

  18. When Friends Come from Afar, is that not a Cause for Joy? We welcome health sciences PhD students from UAB to visit and work with us together at Chung Shan.

  19. Methods • Duration: 6-8 weeks or more • Through taking graduate courses and participating programs : e.g. Cellular and Molecular Biology • Professional Development Program: e.g. Summer Writing and oral communications courses or workshops 2. working as a research assistant at varied laboratories of UAB

  20. Supporting System • An office/staff member of UAB needs to be responsible for this exchange program. • An evaluation mechanism needs to be established.

  21. Expenses • Our students will take the responsibility of all expenses of travel, insurance, and living with possible support in part from Chung Shan. • Is it possible for UAB to wave tuitions for course study or laboratory rotations?

  22. Thanks for your attention and consideration
