Today, TMU has expanded from 3 schools (School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, School of Pharmacy) and 250 inaugural students, into a world-class university with 11 colleges, and more than 40,000 alumni around the world.

Strive Through 60 Years: TMU’s Past, Present, and Future
On June 1, 2020, Taipei Medical University (TMU) will celebrate its 60th birthday. TMU grew one step at a time from our initial stage, to building the foundation, flourishing, expansion and transformation. Today, TMU has expanded into a medical university with seven hospitals and is renowned for its medical education and medical services at home and abroad. TMU attributes these accomplishments to the support from TMU Board of Trustees, and the hard work of the staff, students and alumi.
Over the past six decades, TMU grew under challenging circumstances. We have had considerable growth in operation scale, teaching, research, and service in recent ten years.
