With the joint efforts of all our staffs, we strive to provide solid training for our resident doctors and medical students. We are accredited for subspecialty training of endocrinology and metabolism by the Endocrine Society and Diabetes Association of the Republic of China (Taiwan). We executed researches in various fields related to diabetes and endocrinology, including genetic studies, basic researches, cohort studies, and clinical trials. We publish a number of research articles in internationally renowned journals every year.
Our Diabetes Health Promotion Center was founded in 1997, under commission of the Department of Health (now Ministry of Health and Welfare). By integrating diabetes specialists, nurses, and dieticians, we provide comprehensive and holistic care, and deliver self-management education for diabetes patients. Our center has been accredited as the “International Diabetes Federation Centre of Education” since 2017, and awarded as “Certified International Diabetes Federation Centre of Excellence in Diabetes Care”. To actively engage in activities of International Diabetes Federation, we help translation of short course of Diabetes Prevention Module in Chinese.
