Organisation profile

In the past three decades, injury has become one of the top five causes of death in Taiwan. In 2000, the Graduate Institute of Injury Prevention and Control (IPC) was founded as the first postgraduate institute in the Asia devoted to injury research. The main objective of our doctoral program commenced in 2015 aims at achieving a higher standard of basic and applied research in injury prevention and control. In-Service Master Program for Disability and Rehabilitation was also founded in 2015 providing research and training opportunities to help students engage in research focused on understanding the factors that promote activity and participation in daily life among people who have disabilities or are at risk of developing them. Our excellence in both research and education programs have regularly attracted international students since 2010.
