Department Introduction

Teaching

From the beginning, we have placed teaching quality in a high position. Thus, we have invited faculty members, full-time, part-time, or joint appointments, in various specialties to teach courses. Based on the curriculum reform of the College of Medicine, we integrated introductory pharmacology courses (provided for medicine juniors) and clinical pharmacology courses (for medicine seniors) with other physiology and pathology courses. 

To provide a variety of choices to master’s and Ph.D. students and attend to their needs, our faculty members came up with more courses.  

To enhance students’ learning, faculty members make innovative presentations using various tools, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, other software, charts, etc. 

To help students learn pharmacology more systematically and effectively, faculty members make their lecture notes and course outlines available, and students can easily access teaching materials from the website.

Research

Faculty members have their laboratories. For sharing resources and enhancing research collaborations, the University helped set up several joint laboratories, such as an animal behavior research lab, a tissue culture lab, and core facilities.  

Our core facilities, plus the University’s, are more than adequate to meet the learning and research needs. Research-related funding provided by the University and other institutions is sufficient to carry out ongoing research projects. Our research endeavors include drug abuse, neurological drugs, and poisons, cardiovascular drugs and poisons, anti-cancer drugs and carcinogens, etc.

Public Services

Several faculty members serve as advisors at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital to help clinical pharmacists. Others take part in advising other teaching/research institutions. In terms of teaching, in addition to updating the content and teaching methods year by year to address the needs of students, faculty members invite renowned scholars from Taiwan or overseas to give students a presentation or series of lectures.

Coming projects

We also plan to offer a course about common sense in medicine, designed for students of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Education and Communication. 

Our faculty members are willing to employ their research interests and make every effort in multidisciplinary research, wishing to engage more people and integrate a variety of research methodologies, to serve the public better.
