台灣人口快速高齡化，醫療照護產業人才出現缺口，因此國立暨南國際大學獲教育部核准，115學年度設立「學士後護理學系」與「智慧健康管理碩士在職學位學程」，不僅有利跨領域轉職，還能緩解照護人力不足，並整合科技引領智慧醫療新浪潮。
暨大校長武東星說，暨大護理暨健康福祉學院針對兩大新設學程，展現人才培育的前瞻性與社會責任，讓現職人員能順利轉職銜接機制的課程時間，並與醫療機構攜手合作提供助學金，安排實習及就業銜接，此外，學生在學期間能參與海外實習、參訪、交換學習計畫，並由國際師資協同授課，拓展國際視野。
In response to Taiwan’s rapidly aging population and the growing shortage of healthcare and nursing professionals, National Chi Nan University (NCNU) has received approval from the Ministry of Education to establish two new academic programs in Academic Year 115 (2026): a Post-Baccalaureate Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program and a Master’s In-Service Degree Program in Smart Health Management. These initiatives will not only facilitate career transitions for professionals from different academic backgrounds but also help alleviate the shortage of healthcare personnel while integrating technology to usher in a new era of smart healthcare.
NCNU President Wu Tung-Hsing stated that the College of Nursing and Health Welfare has demonstrated its forward-looking vision for talent development and commitment to social responsibility through the establishment of these two programs. The curricula are designed with flexible scheduling arrangements to help working professionals transition smoothly into new careers. In addition, the university will collaborate with healthcare institutions to provide scholarships, arrange internship opportunities, and facilitate the transition from academic study to employment.
Furthermore, students will have opportunities to participate in overseas internships, academic visits, and exchange programs during their studies. International faculty members will also participate in collaborative teaching, helping students broaden their global perspectives and develop an international outlook.
