Background

Our symposium, entitled "Symposium on Cultivating the Next Generation of Physician-Scientists," marks the milestone of our 10-year physician-scientist cultivation program launched in 2013, ​which has been supported generously by Mr. Samuel Yen-Liang Yin.

This is Taiwan's first long-term physician-scientist cultivation program, a joint venture between NYCU-TPEVGH. It supports a continual cultivation of physician-scientists, from first-year medical students to attending physicians, to pursue Master's/PhD degrees abroad or gain exposure to international research/clinical training. 

This symposium will serve as a platform for sharing the achievements and results of the program with the deans/chairpersons/directors of MD-PhD programs in Taiwan medical schools, as well as medical students and physicians interested in multidisciplinary research and international collaboration.
