Taiwan Public Health System Practice course
2022-01-25
The "Taiwan Public Health System Practice" course is one of the important and special courses in International Health Program that combines theory and practice training.
This popular course is conducted by the Deputy director of Taipei City Hospital, Dr Dachen Chu and have turned in eleven this year.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many overseas students are unable to return to their country during the winter break. Through field visits and experiences, students have more opportunities to understand practical operations.
「台灣公共衛生系統實務」課程為國際衛生學程開設的一門結合理論與實務訓練的重要課程。課程由台北市立聯合醫院璩大成副總院長協助開設，一直以來廣受學生喜愛，今年課程進入第十一年。
There is some recommendation from our first-year Master student, Thanh Van Kim from Vietnam 
Do you know what strikes me the most in this course? They are the three words of wisdom "Mosses, Foreman, Santa Clause" about public health leadership.
Those are among the fascinating things that I was exposed to in the very first lecture by Professor Chu – deputy superintendent of Taipei City Hospital and the coolest Professor I ever know. With the "three-words" strategy, not only did he dumb down public health terminologies in a fun way, but also made them more practical on the field. Then before I knew it, I myself was absorbed in the history at National Taiwan Museum. The way the museum gathered all major public health events in pre- and post-war Taiwan appeared fascinating. It turned out that Taiwan had been among the first to roll out the Hepatitis B vaccine in 1981 and then commenced a historic nationwide 10-year vaccination program. They all explain why Taiwan is among global leaders in eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030. This definitely helps me to plan for an elimination program in my home country Viet Nam. Moreover, the museum was not merely about history but also how it contributed to contemporary society. In collaboration with Taipei City Hospital, the museum conducted a community engagement program to raise dementia literacy, which contributed to building Taipei as a dementia-friendly city. This program is such a role model of public health, where we are "improving health through collective action."
Above are what still lingering in my mind until now. And if the three words "Mosses, Foreman, Santa Clause" still linger in your mind, register for the course and figure them out yourself.
