Firmly backed by the hospital, the Center of Sleep Medicine (睡眠醫學中心) was inaugurated in June 2013. As the place of origin of sleep medicine, we established the center as a mission at large, hoping to develop a thorough sleep examination plan and to organize a professional treatment team, whilst leading follow-up R&D, teaching, and training. Our goal is to make TVGH a stronghold of sleep medicine in Taiwan.
We bring together all related departments in the hospital, such as chest medicine, psychiatry, neurology, otolaryngology, and oral surgery, to build this center of sleep medicine, which is the largest in our country. The physicians of these departments work together to carry out clinical research and teaching, so as to train doctors who wish to sub-specialize in sleep medicine. Finally, as a leading center of sleep medicine at home and abroad, we collaborate with a team of basic medical science from the University System of Taiwan to conduct a diversity of basic sleep-related studies.
