AMSEP Taiwan Chung Shan Medical University
Introduction Due to the shortage of dentists in post war era in Taiwan, Dr. Ju-Chuan Chou founded Chung Shan Dental Junior College, antecedent of Chung Shan Medical University, in 1960 with the purpose of training dentists. The school was named after Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, alias Chung-Shan, in recognition of his patriotism. The demand for the institute to be elevated to the college level was growing with the time. After much effort and program enforcement, in 1977, our school was granted by the Ministry of Education to advance to Chung Shan Medical and Dental College. Yet, we kept progressing and expanding. In 2001, the institute was reorganized as Chung Shan Medical University (CSMU).
For the past 50 years, Chung Shan has educated numerous outstanding graduates. They devoted mostly to the medical care for societies all over the world. Many of our alumni also played vital roles in various leadership, like the Director of Department of Health in Executive Yuan, the Mayor of Kaohsiung City, key cabinet members, Members of Parliament, and chairs in the related fields of medicine and dentistry. Nowadays CSMU still dedicates to nurturing future doctors and taking its place in contributing to community.

Moreover, with our own health insurance system made provision by government, civilians are entitled to affordable medical help of average.
al condition and Introduction to Taiwan’s Health Insurance However, every system has its pros and cons; everything has two sides. There are also some difficulties we confront and struggle to solve, such as overworking of medical workers, abusing of medical resources and financial balance etc. During and after the lecture given by Doctor Tsai, Ming-Che, the chairman of medicine department of Chung Shan Medical University and a very experienced clinical surgeon, everyone is ensured not only to reflect on Taiwan’s medical condition and system but also to ponder on how to create a better environment for both medical workers and patients beyond borders.
B.Chinese Medicine 101 Get to know Acupunture, Cupping, Acupoint, Chinese Herb Onitment and Chinese Herb Cuisine
Chinese medicine is originated in mainland China from over thousands years ago. Nowadays, Chinese medicine is still practiced among Chinese society and some westerners, though it is regarded as the third oldest medicine system in the world, with the first and the second being Egyptian and Babylonian medicine. On contrary to modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine holds a different perspective of human body. It values long term nursing to keep balance of yin and yang and also views human body as a unity but not separately as organs.
During Chinese medicine 101 we will have a fundamental course on some most famous therapies of Chinese medicine, which are Acupuncture, Cupping and Acupoint. After the courses, we will also get to practice by ourselves to further experience these age-old therapies. As a result of emphasis on long term nursing, there is a lot of usage of Chines herbs in Chinese medicine. In Chinese herbs cuisine cooking course, we will learn to cook a popular Chinese herb dish known for high nutrition and is good for your health. Last but not least, there will going to be an ointment making course where we learn to make traditional Chinese ointment to relief muscle ache.
C.Chung Shan Hospital Tour One of the features of medical universities in Taiwan is that almost every school has its own hospital and normally alongside campus. This feature allows medical students to learn and obtain both academic knowledge and clinical skills. Luckily, Chung Shan Medical University is one of those schools. Established in 1966, Chung Shan University Hospital is now one of the biggest hospitals in Taichung city and holds some most advanced medical equipment. In the hospital tour, we will also be introduced to one of the world’s most progressive technology, the Da Vinci Surgical System. It is famous for its various advantages compared to traditional surgery, including a smaller cut, lower infection rate, shorter extension of average surgery time, less occurrence of complications etc. We will also get the chance to actually watch it operating during a surgery
Community Service Sunshine Association Established about 20 years ago, Sunshine Association is a nonprofit, nongovernment association dedicated to helping women and children in need, especially those in single-parent families, aboriginal families, and immigrant families. Sunshine Association provides a variety of different programs from welfare consultation, juvenile counseling to socially vulnerable family supporting program and more. Therefore, a stable fund resource is very vital.
This year, the association comes up with an idea to raise fund by selling mantao, a very common Chinese bun in Taiwan. In the community program, we will help the association to make mantoa to sell it for charity. Aside from that, we may also try the household traditional staple by buying some ourselves.
