    Our Uniqueness<\/h3>\n
    \n\t

    We wish to achieve uniqueness in the following areas:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Blend the humanities perfectly with science and technology.<\/li>\n
    2. Balance preventive medicine with physical treatment.<\/li>\n
    3. Encouraging health professionals to work closely with community volunteers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Developmental Objectives<\/h3>\n
      \n\t
        \n
      1. Build up a core structure for medical education based on humanities and ethics education.<\/li>\n
      2. Expand the functions of the Center for Faculty Development, so that the center can better assist teachers to improve their teaching skills. In addition, it will also offer courses with a major focus on the organic system which integrates fundamental and clinical arenas.<\/li>\n
      3. Encourage joint efforts on research projects which involve the medical school and hospital, enhance collaboration between the clinics and fundamentals, and to provide whatever is required to encourage students to devote their entire lives to medical research.<\/li>\n
      4. Strengthen the link between the Medical Service Club, TIMA and Tzu Chi International Medical Association so that our students can learn upstanding and ethical medical practices from those in the field, and cultivate their enthusiasm to serve others.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
