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.
