In accordance with the university’s medium and long-term plans, the Department of Gerontological Health Care emphasizes the provision of human-centered health care in response to the aging society, in which the prevalence rates of dementia and disabilities are projected to increase relative to the increase in the prevalence rates of nontransmittable diseases among elderly people. The old-age support ratio is expected to become a main problem concerning medical care and social welfare. Therefore, to cope with the aging trend and social development demands, the department aims to train professionals in providing health care to elderly people by developing innovative nursing technology and healthcare models; incorporating professional knowledge and abilities as well as critical thinking into gerontological health care; practicing caring attitudes, including ethical considerations; demonstrating communicative and cooperative abilities; performing follow-up examinations in providing health care to elderly people; establishing a professional identity; and instilling the virtues of responsibility and willingness to engage in lifelong learning.
