Medical students (5th- and 6th‑year)
Junior physicians (PGY doctors and internal medicine residents)
The Department of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy at Tri-Service General Hospital has established specialized rheumatology lectures to improve physicians’ success rates in national board exams and specialty certification. These lectures, delivered by senior attending physicians, cover the latest research and clinical practices, while the Zuvio platform is used for pre-class assessments and post-class reviews to deepen learning outcomes. Physicians are also encouraged to publish journal articles, strengthening their research capabilities and fostering the integration of science and clinical practice to build an efficient medical team.
In addition, the department actively cultivates the role of physician-scientists, providing a platform to showcase academic achievements, with 18 SCI papers published in recent years. Through these initiatives, the department is committed to enhancing physicians’ professional competence and delivering higher-quality medical services to patients.
Looking ahead, the department envisions physician-scientists further integrating PD-1 → Treg → Breg immune regulation research, incorporating hydrogen-assisted therapy and three original therapeutic prediction indices—BRPI (Biological DMARD Prediction Index), JRPI (JAK inhibitor Response Prediction Index), and HRPI (Hydrogen Response Prediction Index). The goal is to establish an internationally influential “Taiwan Model” and open new horizons in physician-scientist training.
Establish a structured rheumatology and immunology lecture series by integrating the latest research with clinical case studies.
Use the Zuvio real‑time feedback system, pre‑/post‑tests, and satisfaction surveys to create a quantifiable teaching‑effectiveness evaluation process.
Develop 20 core e‑learning modules to support flexible, self‑directed learning.
Implement virtual patient systems and the SDM shared‑decision‑making platform to strengthen clinical reasoning and doctor‑patient communication.
Conduct cross‑disciplinary teaching (radiology, gastroenterology, dermatology) to enhance course depth and breadth.
Promote long‑term, structured education through a continuous course model and encourage learners to engage in research and academic publication
