We welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds and relevant practical and research experience in healthcare for older people to our program. In fact, our faculty members come from various professional backgrounds, including gerontology, public health, rehabilitation, psychology, management, and nursing, all of whom have academic prestige. You can find more information about our faculty’s backgrounds and expertise on our website: Full-time Professor – International Ph.D. Program in Gerontology and Long-Term Care (tmu.edu.tw).
