As the only institute concentrating on emergency and critical care medicine and related fields in the world, it aims at training professionals engaged in research in emergency and critical care medicine and related fields. Ultimately, the Institute hopes to develop professionalism among personnel in clinical care, education, and research in emergency and critical care medicine and related fields, thus achieving the goals of promoting the quality of health care, education, and research in emergency and critical care medicine and related fields in Taiwan.

Since August 2017, the first class of PhD students have been recruited. It is expected to cultivate professionals who are doing more in-depth research in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine and related fields. After graduation, they will continue to increase the depth and breadth of relevant research in the professional field.

The physician group of students at the Institute consists of clinicians of different specialties, while the non-physician group consists mainly of other in-service medical personnel. Eligibility for oral defense of the master thesis at the Institute requires acceptance or publication of the student’s master’s thesis in a journal that is included in the Sciences Citation Index (SCI), or, if rejected, acceptance or publication in a journal included in Index Medicus, and at least two and at least two and a half years of study at the institute collectively.

The Institute’s primary focus of research activities is clinical medicine. Although some faculty members are engaged in basic science or animal experiments, their work is primarily clinical-medicine-oriented. Our professors are experienced physicians of various specialties in emergency and critical care medicine and related fields, and have doctoral degrees. Their performance in research and clinical practice is well recognized, with a significant number of publications and research grants.
