History

Due to the shortage of dentists in the puring the 50's in Taiwan, Dr. Ju-Chuan Chou

founded Chung Shan Dental Junior College (the antecedent of Chung Shan Medical

University) in 1960 with the purpose of training dentists. The schoost war ear dol was

named after Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, alias Chung-Shan, in recognition of his patriotism. The

demand for the institute to be elevated to the college level was growing with the time.

After much effort and program enforcement, in 1977, our school was granted by the

Ministry of Education to advance to Chung Shan Medical and Dental College. Yet,

we kept progressing and expanding. In 2001, the institute was reorganized as Chung

Shan Medical University (CSMU).
