Department Introduction
Excellence
Department physicians mainly graduated from China Medical University's departments of Chinese medicine and post-baccalaureate Chinese medicine, and some of them possess Chinese and Western medical licenses, a few of whom hold the qualifications for Western medical specialists. Many have acquired a master's degree or a doctorate and in addition to clinical practice and research work, have been teaching in a school and guiding students during internship, have focused on evidence-based medicine and medical ethics and developed international Chinese and Western medicine academic exchanges.
After the establishment of the hospital's Department of Chinese Medicine in 1970, it has been devoted to the modernization or scientization of Chinese medicine with remarkable achievements.
Chinese medicine check-ups in the hospital are performed by modern instruments to present concrete results. Constitutional syndrome differentiation is conducted by professional Chinese medicine doctors, so that patients can understand their own changes of qi, blood, yin, and yang, as well as the characteristics of each constitution. Moreover, the services combine professional care with health education and treatment.
Some people abuse unknown TCM folk remedies, causing lung, liver, kidney disease or organ failure, which should not be dismissed lightly. Therefore, the Department of Chinese Medicine and our department of pharmacy have worked together for a long time to monitor regularly the heavy metals and pesticides in imported Chinese herbal medicines and enhance medication safety, as well as draw up standard review specifications for drug use.
