1.專班教育目標
據推估台灣於2025年即將邁入超高齡社會，在配合政府推動之「醫療照護產業」的發展，結合理論與實務兼具的課程設計，配合產學合作與實習，以培養高齡社會各項專業人才為目標。本專班以高齡健康管理及高齡照顧服務為二大主軸，除了提升學生有關高齡健康照顧方面的基礎專業知能之外，更培育學生具備老人社會工作人員之部分專業技能，使學生具備高齡健康管理的專業素養，實現畢業即就業，解決台灣目前高齡照護人力缺乏之冋境。
本專班的培育目標如下：
(1)專業課程實務化：以「健康照顧管理」服務為主軸，開設營養保健、照顧護理、社會工作、健康促進、產業管理等領域課程，
(2)創意教學專業化：本系擁有多位具實務技術專精的教師及學理基礎堅強的師資陣容，採取創意教學的課程設計讓學生能勝任職場的各項挑戰。
(3)就業技能證照化：為加強專班學生未來投入職場成為健康照顧的人才，並響應政府之職業證照制度，本系特別重視實作及實習課程，培養學生報考照服員單一級證照及專業技術能力。
2. 專班預期成效
本計畫建置以國際學生可留台支援健康照護體系的人力量能，或未來返國後就業及自行創業為基礎，透過理論及實務發展，提供高度需求實務技能與經濟弱勢家庭學生，在可兼顧升學及就業前提下，自給自足於本國完成學業，更是協助培育產業人才的來源。此專班之預期成果重點如下：
(1) 藉外力使力: 藉由招募南向國家學生，教育學生成為具備高齡健康管理專業知識與實務訓練之專業人才。
(2) 化危機為轉機: 訓練專班學生融入台灣文化，具有解決問題及應用高齡健康管理專業知識技能於相關產業之能力。
(3) 留才永續經營: 培養專班學生關懷社區、服務社會及多元素養之精神，了解職場倫理與應具備之工作態度，以解決台灣面臨少子化及人口已邁向老化的危機。
(4) 人才國際化: 專班畢業的學生，因擁有健康照護及管理經營的能力，將來將是舒緩國際健康照護體系量能危機之最大助力。
(二) 專班核心能力指標（請具體敘明能力指標）
本系以培育專業知識及實務學習為導向的教育理念，培育高齡健康管理相關領域專業人才，配合產業需求及學生能力導向，訂定核心能力指標，以符合實際所需，以達高齡全人健康照顧的概念，提供全方位高齡者的專業管理服務。
本專班課程設計主要針對入學學生背景特質，並以產業發展趨勢為方向，由本系課程委員會依據五大系核心能力進行討論，並請校外委員提供意見後定案，再提送校課程委員會議及校教務會議審議，謹慎完整的課程規劃。
國際產學專班雖然成員來自國外，但我們對他們的期許是如同本國生，因為目標是教育及培訓他們成為國家健康照護人力支援的生力軍，也期盼他們完成學業後留用於產學合作機構外，也能持續再進修本校之健康產業管理研究所，成為更進階的專業管理人才，達個人、社會、國家及全球之共好。因此具體訂出適用此專班學生的五大核心能力指標。此五大核心能力為
1. 具備健康管理專業知識及應用能力
2. 創新思考及解決問題能力
3. 培養溝通、管理及團隊合作能力
4. 具備與時俱進和終身學習的能力
5. 善盡社會責任與尊重多元文化的能力
上述五項核心能力係透過縝密的課程規劃與實務教學，加上利用實習規劃中企業內部講師及現場主管臨床的指導，降低學與用之落差，達成未來就業無縫接軌的目標。
Special Class Education Objectives
It is estimated that Taiwan will enter an ultra-aging society by 2025. In line with the government's promotion of the "Medical Care Industry" development, the special class aims to cultivate professionals for the aging society through a curriculum that integrates theory and practice. Collaborating with industry and internship programs, the focus is on fostering expertise in elderly health management and care services. The program emphasizes not only enhancing students' foundational knowledge in elderly health care but also developing specific professional skills for social workers in the elderly community. The goal is to equip students with the professional competence in elderly health management, facilitating immediate employment to address Taiwan's current shortage of elderly care professionals.
The objectives of this special class are as follows:
(1) Practicalization of Professional Courses: The curriculum revolves around "Health Care Management" services, offering courses in nutrition and health, care nursing, social work, health promotion, and industry management.
(2) Specialization in Creative Teaching: The program boasts teachers with practical expertise and a strong theoretical foundation, adopting creative teaching methods to prepare students for various challenges in the workplace.
(3) Certification of Employment Skills: To strengthen students' future roles in the healthcare sector, the program places special emphasis on practical training and internships, enabling students to obtain certifications and develop professional skills.
Expected Outcomes of the Special Class
This project aims to establish a workforce that supports the healthcare system for international students staying in Taiwan, contributing to employment or entrepreneurship upon their return to their home countries. Through theoretical and practical development, the program intends to provide students with highly demanded practical skills and assist economically disadvantaged students in balancing further education and employment, making them self-reliant in completing their studies in Taiwan. The expected outcomes of this special class include recruiting international students, integrating them into Taiwanese culture, and developing their problem-solving abilities and application of expertise in aging health management. The program also aims to cultivate students who care for the community, serve society, understand workplace ethics, and possess the necessary attitudes to address Taiwan's challenges of declining birth rates and an aging population. Additionally, graduates are expected to contribute internationally to alleviate the crisis in the global healthcare system.
(II) Core Competency Indicators for the Special Class (Please specify the competency indicators)
The program is oriented towards cultivating professional knowledge and practical learning, focusing on the education and training of professionals in the field of aging health management. The core competency indicators are designed in collaboration with industry demands and student-oriented abilities, following a thorough discussion by the department's curriculum committee. The international special class, despite its members coming from abroad, shares expectations similar to local students. The goal is to educate and train them to become a vital force in supporting the nation's healthcare workforce. The specific indicators for the special class students include:
Possessing expertise in health management and applied knowledge.
Innovative thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Developing communication, management, and teamwork skills.
Having the ability to keep up with the times and engage in lifelong learning.
Fulfilling social responsibilities and respecting diverse cultures.
These five core competencies are achieved through meticulous curriculum planning, practical teaching methods, and guidance from industry experts and clinical supervisors during internships, reducing the gap between theory and application and ensuring seamless integration into future employment.
