Outward Visit

Charles University

Taipei Medical University is a leading teaching hospital in Taiwan. In order to strive for further progress, we strongly believe in the value of looking outward to top-tier institutions around the world. By exchanging ideas with faculty members at Charles University, a prestigious university in Prague, and exploring its distinctive programs and clinical teaching methods, we have gained valuable insights and knowledge. We hope to bring different perspectives and new ways of thinking to our students in the future.

During the pre-trip online meetings on March 3rd, the main focus was on discussing visits to foreign neurology clinics and examination rooms. Through learning about how physicians from different nationalities approach dizziness, differential diagnosis, and treatment, we aim to broaden our understanding from various perspectives.

Charles University showed great hospitality by arranging expert interviews and clinical observation sessions after understanding our needs.

On April 4th, we visited Charles University in Prague and delivered a speech on the topic “Efficacy of Repositioning Therapy in Patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo and Preexisting Central Neurologic Disorders.”
