Founded in 1958 and located in Taichung, a city in central Taiwan, China Medical University (CMU) was the very first non-profit academic institution offering degree programs in Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology in Taiwan. With well-designed, internationally competitive programs and renowned faculty members from all over Taiwan and around the world, the university has steadily grown over time to its present status as one of the foremost medical universities in Taiwan and the Greater China region.

It consists of 8 colleges, which together offer educational, research, and practical programs in Western Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacology, Health Care, Biopharmaceutical and Food Sciences, Public Health, and Humanities and Sciences. Interdisciplinary courses are also available for students that wish to integrate and subsequently broaden their learning experiences. Annually from 2011 to 2017, CMU was awarded the highest subsidy from Taiwan's Ministry of Education's Teaching Excellence Project. With its modern state-of-the-art laboratories, three comprehensive teaching hospitals, and staff who all have a strong commitment to their students, CMU is dedicated to providing excellent opportunities for local and foreign students to get the best education possible so that they can pursue careers in the fields of healthcare and the life sciences.
