The faculty of Peiping Union Medical College (PUMC) formatively influenced the development of modern nursing in Taiwan. PUMC, which retreated with the national government to Taiwan from Mainland China in 1949, was initially established earlier in that century by enthusiastic medical missionaries and later reformed by the Rockefeller Foundation. After relocating to Taiwan, PUMC teachers and graduates have provided critical leadership in disseminating modern nursing education in Taiwan and in integrating public health and clinical services to establish a solid foundation for Taiwanese nursing education. To highlight the significant contributions of PUMC alumni in Taiwan, this article explores three dimensions as follows: 1) Establishing the foundation of modern nursing education in Taiwan; 2) Channeling aids from the United States and the international communities to improve nursing education; and 3) Raising the international profile and influence of the Taiwan nursing society. In celebration of the centennial anniversary of PUMC, we encourage in the spirit of PUMC congeniality greater Cross-Strait collaboration among elite professionals in order to further advance PUMC leadership in Asian medical education and cultural enlightenment.
北京协和医学院的师资力量对台湾现代护理学的发展产生了形成性影响。北京协和医学院于1949年随国民政府从中国大陆迁至台湾，它最初是在那个世纪早些时候由热心的医学传教士建立的，后来由洛克菲勒基金会进行改革。迁至台湾后，北京协和医学院的教师和毕业生在台湾传播现代护理教育以及整合公共卫生和临床服务以奠定台湾护理教育坚实基础方面发挥了关键的引领作用。为突出北京协和医学院校友在台湾的重大贡献，本文从以下三个方面进行探讨：1）奠定台湾现代护理教育基础；2）引入美国及国际社会援助以改善护理教育；3）提升台湾护理界的国际形象与影响力。值此北京协和医学院百年校庆之际，我们本着协和精神，鼓励两岸精英专业人士开展更多合作，以进一步提升北京协和医学院在亚洲医学教育和文化启蒙方面的引领地位。
