  • Why does the Shi Scholarship exist?
    As future medical professionals, it is crucial that we strive to be a part of the next generation of leaders who will solve the world's most pressing problems. Unfortunately, too many talented individuals go unrecognized or face barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential for global impact. It is crucial that we work to identify and nurture talent from all corners of Taiwan, rather than relying solely on traditional networks. By connecting and supporting exceptional people, we can create a powerful force for positive change and make a meaningful difference in both science and society. This is the goal of this program, and we have the opportunity to be a part of this important mission. Let's make the most of it and make a real impact on the world.
  • Is the application available in Chinese?
    The Shi Scholarship application is currently only available to applicants with proficiency in the English language. Because the program sends fellows abroad to pursue educational opportunities in English-speaking countries, it is important for us to assess the candidate's ability to communicate in English.
  • What should I do if there is not enough space in the application form to include all my publications?
    Put the publications that you would like to highlight in the application form. The rest of the papers can be listed in your resume/CV.
  • What happens if I'm not selected as a Shi Scholar this year?
    If you were not selected to be a scholar in the current application year, you will have the opportunity to apply again the following year as long as you meet the eligibility requirements. Even if you are not selected as a scholar, you can still take advantage of receiving informaiton regarding the resources, opportunities, and network of healthcare partners offered by the Shi Scholarship community by completing the application process.
  • What is the cost of the program?
    The application is free, and financial aid is provided to eligible scholars based on need. The program aims to enable scholars to pursue graduate-level educational opportunities without financial burden.
  • Why does the program only recruit people <35?
    The Andrew T. Huang Medical Education Promotion Fund has a New School program that works with National Chengchi University to award an EMBA to scholars who are 35 and above. The Shi Scholarship program is designed to identify and nurture emerging leaders in the healthcare industry. We believe that individuals under the age of 35 are at a stage in their careers where they are poised to take on leadership roles and make a significant impact in the field. By focusing on younger individuals, we are able to identify those who have the potential to become future leaders in healthcare and provide them with the skills and experience needed to succeed. Finally, we understand that age is just one factor to consider when selecting Shi Scholars. We are committed to diversity and inclusivity and strive to recruit a diverse cohort of scholars each year, regardless of age.
  • What is the Shi Scholarship?
    The Shi Scholarship is tailored specifically for those who have recently graduated from medical school, completed their PGY, or finished their residency. As a scholar of this program, you will have the opportunity to engage with a wealth of resources and support as you work towards addressing some of healthcare's most pressing issues. We believe that the next generation of medical professionals has the potential to make significant and meaningful contributions to the healthcare industry, and we want to back their immense potential with our support.
  • What makes the Shi Scholarship different from other programs?
    Shi Scholarship is for life. We offer access to a global network that will impact scholars throughout their lives. This is the only healthcare training program for medical professionals from Taiwan dedicated to seeing them succeed in the healthcare industry. Shi Scholarship looks for collaborators. We aim to foster deeper connections and collaborations between the healthcare systems of Taiwan and the United States. We believe that this will not only benefit the scholars themselves, but also the patients and communities they serve. Shi Scholarship looks for brilliant physicians. We are committed to building a community of exceptional individuals who are dedicated to improving the healthcare industry. Having a diverse group of scholars with diverse skillsets, backgrounds, and experiences is crucial to driving innovation and finding solutions to the complex challenges facing the healthcare industry. By bringing together a group of highly talented and motivated individuals, we can foster a dynamic and collaborative environment where new ideas can thrive and make a meaningful impact.
