Internship at Tzu Chi Hospitals in Taiwan
One of Tzu Chi’s first major initiatives was the “Tzu Chi Medical Mission” and Tzu Chi has since built 5 hospitals in Taiwan. The Tzu Chi College of Medicine was founded in 1994, which became the Tzu Chi University in 2000. The School of Post-Baccalaureate Chinese Medicine in Tzu Chi University was established in 2012.
Students participating in our overseas internship can acquire valuable experience at the TCM departments in the Tzu Chi Hospitals in Taiwan.
