Since its exception in 1994, the University has maintained a tradition of high pass rates every year, and the recently released results continue this tradition. Students of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Biotechnology achieved a 75% pass rate for clinical laboratory<\/i> scientists (the national average was 28.61%), students of the Nursing Department obtained a 90% pass rate for registered nurses (compared to the national average of 45.73%), students from the Department of Physical Therapy achieved a 42.11% pass rate for physical therapists (the national average was 22.85%), and students from Post-Baccalaureate Chinese Medicine also acquired a 95.35% pass rate for the first stage of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners (the national average was 73.95%).<\/p>\n
Forty students from the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Biotechnology took the licensure exam this year; thirty passed, a pass rate of 75% (the national average was 28.61%), 2.5 times the national pass rate, producing results comparable to the top universities in Taiwan. The Department chair, Kai-Chih Chang, stated that in addition to the faculty members\u2019 dedicated teaching, the Department has also provided many supporting measures, such as offering elective courses or tutoring programs related to subjects required by the licensure exam, as well as providing online practice tests and guidance, allowing students to test and identify their weak points and make it up. Moreover, the Department encouraged students to persistently prepare for the exam, assisted them in devising review plans, and guided them to arrange their study time reasonably. Students exchanged their learning experiences with each other, and most importantly, maintained their physical well-being by having proper exercise, diet, and rest, while avoiding excessive fatigue and anxiety.<\/p>\n
Chairperson Tai-Chu Peng of the Department of Nursing pointed out that students have voluntarily formed study groups to help each other. They set their schedules, reviewing their weakest subjects and conducting practice tests. Faculty members often cared about each student\u2019s physical and mental well-being and clarified doubts about exam questions. Some faculty members even voluntarily offered additional lessons to remind students of the critical points. In addition to this, the school provided relaxed and comfortable spaces for students to prepare for their exams. Chairperson Peng is thankful that the Tzu Chi affiliates in charity, healthcare, education, and humanistic culture provide many learning opportunities for her students and offer job opportunities for them to apply what they have learned in a clinical environment after obtaining their licenses, becoming professionals who embody both professionalism and humanism.<\/p>\n
Chairperson of the Post-Baccalaureate Chinese Medicine Program I-Hsin Lin, stated that guidance and precious experience were passed down from faculty members and students\u2019 seniors. Secondly, the University provides a suitable environment for learning. Additionally, the instructional materials covered many parts of the licensure exam. These allowed students to face the exams with ease. The University\u2019s humanistic environment was also a key factor. For example, the Silent Mentor Program inspired students to become humble, empathetic, and to learn more enthusiastically.<\/p>\n
