Since 2001, the university has established “Positioning Globally, Cultivating Globalized Health Care Service Talents” as the school’s guiding principle for promoting international and cross-strait cooperation and development.

At the same time, the university cooperates with more than 30 academic or professional institutions abroad to offer international professional courses/international internship courses/exchange study courses/overseas professional volunteer services/international professional certification training and other international practical learning courses, establishing channels for cultivating students’ international professional abilities.
