Our goals are to educate and train students to become excellent doctors of veterinary medicine, capable of performing veterinary medicine research, and be helpful, kind and devoted to the whole society. The knowledge given for both food and companion animals is equally emphasized. Complete basic veterinary courses including theoretical and clinical medicine as well as disease therapy and diagnosis are also equally provided to rich their knowledge and seed them as potential veterinary specific and/or medical researchers.
Complete basic knowledge of veterinary medicine given to students include veterinary anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, virology, parasitology, immunology, pathology, pharmacology, clinical pathology, internal medicine of animals, surgery of animals, obstetrics and reproductive disorder of animals, zoology, autopsy, public health, photographic image diagnosis jurisdiction, associated with specific emphasis on diseases of poultry, swine, cattle, and aquatic animals. Also, the lab courses are accompanied with these regular courses as necessary.
Currently full-time faculty and staff of this department include five professors, three associate professors, three assistant professors, three instructors, one technician and one clinician, as eleven of them gained Ph.D degree, seven MS and one diploma. Most of them also had passed the “National Qualifying Exam and gained the Board of “Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)”.

In association with this department, a veterinary teaching hospital has been set up for the students' clinical practice. Furthermore, the department of veterinary medicine has installed a low temperature ultra-high speed freezing centrifugator, fluorescent microscopes, phase–contrast microscope, ultrasound scanner, blood biochemistry analyzers, electronic cell counter, multiple head teaching microscopes, ELISA analyzers, HPLC analyzers, PCR thermo-cyclers, electrophoresis instruments, freezing dryers, microcomputer-anthemia, anatomy organ photographic equipment, multifunctional physiological super-tenser, organ-photographic equipment, double-beam spectrophotometer, cryostat, animal electronic cardiographic monitor, and digital photographic teaching system to facilitate the student training and medical research.
1. To improve and develop the diagnosis, preventive, and monitoring methods of the companion animals, food animals and the wildlife animals.
2. To develop the monitoring and diagnosis kits or vaccine for infectious animal diseases.
3. To work on the transgenic or knockout mice.
4. To study and develop the bio-medicine and pharmacology of veterinary animals.
5. Investigation, studying, and analysis of veterinary public health and infectious diseases.
6. To work on the histology, immunology, molecular pathology, and histo-chemistry of the veterinary medicine.
The professional career:
Veterinary medical doctors are needed in several areas. They can serve at the government's animal disease control and prevention office. All husbandry and some animal bio-technique companies also demand veterinary medical doctors. Moreover, veterinary medical doctors can establish an animal hospital to serve their communities.
The world trade is getting heavier. We need more veterinary medical doctors to guard our domestic animal's industry from the infection via importing of other countries' animals.
Students interested in the medical research can apply for the graduate schools of veterinary medicine, biomedicine, or related life sciences. In this way, they may advance the knowledge of veterinary medicine for animals and the human beings.
To expand the fields of preventive medicine, animal health care, and veterinary research in this department, we plan to establish a graduate school of veterinary medicine for the master degree in 2004 and for the doctoral degree in 2008.
In the future, the veterinary teaching hospital will also be re-constructed and extended to be a diagnostic and therapy center of aquatic, swine, bovine, avian, small animal, and wild animal diseases.
Furthermore, we wish to actively communicate and cooperate with the other researchers all over the world to promote the research of veterinary medicine.
