The National Taiwan University College of Medicine (NTUCM; Chinese: 國立臺灣大學醫學院) is the medical school of National Taiwan University.[1][2] Its predecessor can be traced back to the "Medical Training Institute" established within Taipei Hospital in 1897, making it the earliest institution to offer modern medical education in Taiwan. The affiliated Taipei Hospital of NTUCM is the largest public hospital in Taiwan, with branches throughout the island.[3][4][5][6]

History

On June 18, 1895, the Japanese established the "Great Japan Taiwan Hospital" (the predecessor of the current National Taiwan University Medical School Hospital) in Dadaocheng (now Guide Street in Taipei City). In April 1896, the hospital was renamed the "Taipei Hospital".[6][7]

In May 1897, the hospital was renamed the "Taiwan Governor-General's Taipei Hospital". In July of the same year, the Taipei Hospital Medical Training Institute was founded in the hospital.[5][8]

In 1899, the "Office of the Taiwan Governor Medical School" was established and then merged with the Institute.[5][8]

In 1927, the school was renamed as "Taipei Medical Professional School", and in 1936 it was incorporated into the Taipei Imperial University.[5][8]

The East Site of National Taiwan University Hospital, completed in 1991, connects to the newly built medical college building.

In 1945, after the Republic of China government took over the Imperial University and reorganized it into National Taiwan University. The Imperial University Faculty of Medicine became the National Taiwan University College of Medicine.[5][8][7]

In September 2007, Terry Gou donated NT$15 billion to National Taiwan University, of which NT$10 billion was used to build the 500-bed National Taiwan University Hospital Cancer Medical Center (NTUCC) and the Proton Center; the remaining NT$5 billion was used by the Yongling Foundation founded by Terry Gou and NTU to collaborate on four projects: high-end medical equipment, stem cell transplantation, preventive medicine, and medical engineering.[10]
