The Huang Scholarship is specifically designed for exceptional medical graduates from Taiwan who want to pursue advanced training opportunities in the United States. With three distinct tracks available in clinical, health policy, and research training, the program offers a clear pathway for scholars to gain valuable skills and experiences that will benefit them in their future careers.
The program provides a unique opportunity for scholars to study at some of the most prestigious healthcare institutions in the US. They will learn cross-cultural communication skills, creative problem-solving techniques, and research methodology including study design, data analysis, and effective communication to a wide audience. Mentoring will be provided by both US and Taiwan-based faculty to ensure that scholars become future leaders in their fields of study.
The Huang Scholarship has both short-term and long-term goals. In the short-term, the program aims to identify and support individuals who show exceptional potential to become high-achieving healthcare leaders early in their careers. In the long-term, the program seeks to promote diversity in healthcare fields by encouraging the participation of underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, and persons with disabilities.
The program's ultimate goal is to improve 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.
The program also aims to impact the healthcare climate in Taiwan. It seeks to improve transparency in the quality of care provided by healthcare institutions, promote value-based pricing, improve chronic disease management, and advocate for government investment in healthcare. Additionally, the program aims to reduce the total volume of medical waste from healthcare institutions each year and mitigate pollution to the environment.
