HUTECH and Chang Gung University aim for practical cooperation programs in medicine
During the session, HUTECH representatives introduced the university’s 31-year journey of development with more than 60 academic programs across various disciplines. Within this system, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences continues to expand health-related majors and is preparing to welcome the first cohort of medical students in the 2026–2027 academic year.
HUTECH’s educational orientation emphasizes the integration of professional knowledge with practice, strengthening the use of modern technology and equipment so learners can quickly adapt to professional and clinical environments. Alongside the medical doctor program that complies with current regulations, English-taught courses are also being implemented to enhance access to international medical knowledge.

Based on each side’s strengths and development goals, HUTECH and Chang Gung University discussed student and faculty exchange. Beyond academic programs, both universities are interested in Global Camps and hospital-based study and internship opportunities. These initiatives can immerse learners and faculty in diverse professional environments, expanding academic exchange in health sciences.
