History
Dr. Shui-Wang Hu and Dr. Cheng-Tien founded Taipei Medical College on June 1, 1960. The college started as three buildings. Dr. Shui-Wang Hu and Dr. Cheng-Tien, together with other medical professionals and educators, ran the school, using their own personal books as textbooks. Slowly, through the help of private donations, the school flourished.
In 2000 the school was renamed to Taipei Medical University. The university emphasizes a holistic approach to education. Its mission is to cultivate medical professionals with compassion, global perspectives, and a commitment to serving others. The university aims to become a top global university with their core values of humanitarianism, excellence, service, sustainability, and globalization.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
