Teaching Goals and Distinction

There has been a growing concern about the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the need of health promotion in the past decades. In addition, due to the financial crisis of the Taiwan National Health Insurance, the focus of health care industry has shifted from medical treatment to preventive medicine, which has brought forth a demand of public health specialists.
