ABOUT THE
SHI SCHOLARSHIP
The Andrew T. Huang Medical Education Promotion Fund has a two-year healthcare scholarship program for MDs in Taiwan. This program aims to open doors and accelerate careers for early-career physicians who desire to transform healthcare.
Scholars will spend the first six months in Taiwan receiving generalist healthcare and leadership training. They will then spend 18 months abroad at Stanford or Duke University in the United States to pursue a master's degree (i.e., epidemiology and clinical research, health policy), placement in a research lab, or a master clinician program.
Tuition and a living stipend are provided based on need and where not already covered by financial aid. The program also covers protected time for Stanford and Duke professors to mentor our scholars.
This newly developed scholarship strives to train scholars to make an impact on healthcare quality, value, investment, and sustainability. Artificially depressed payments healthcare costs, high patient volumes, and a lack of continuity and integrated efforts in health systems are creating healthcare delivery challenges in Taiwan. The scholarship aims to address a range of leadership knowledge, skills, and behaviors essential to tackling these challenges, including systems-based analysis, quality improvement methodology, and developing communication and teamwork skills.
