NCHU Leads Taiwan in Veterinary Education: Launch of Small Animal Bionic Teaching AidsJan. 06, 2025
In 2020, with the support of the Ministry of Education's Higher Education Sprout Project, the College of Veterinary Medicine at National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) became the first in Taiwan to introduce life-sized bionic dairy cow teaching aids from Canada and developed a fish blood sampling model by Professor Chia-Yu Hsieh of the Department of Veterinary Medicine. In 2024, with funding from the Ministry of Agriculture, the university further introduced life-sized small animal bionic teaching aids, including various canine models designed for different diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, with five sets procured for each type. The inauguration ceremony for these bionic teaching aids was held on January 3, 2025, marking NCHU as the university with the most comprehensive collection of veterinary bionic teaching aids in the country. This initiative not only enhances students’ clinical training but also prioritizes animal welfare.
