Dr. Shih-Li Tsai

I am currently Attending Physician, Department of Medical Education, National Taiwan University Hospital.  I graduated from the Medical College of National Taiwan University in 1997 with a degree of Medical Doctor in 1997 and from the Institute of Preventive Medicine College of Public Health, National Taiwan University with degree of a Master of Science in 2005. After completion of military service, I completed residency training in Family Medicine from 1999 to 2002 and fellowship training in Palliative Medicine from 2002 to 2003. Afterwards, I practiced in a private clinic for two years and joined as part-time faculty of Department of Family Medicine at NTUH. Over the past five years, I have had increasing teaching responsibilities in the NTUH Family Medicine Residency Training Program which led to my involvement in the Department of Medical Education since 2006. I coordinated the clinical skills training curriculum for medical students and young resident doctors for two years. Through my work on these programs, I became actively involved in reform clinical skills training programs for clerkship, internships and residency. I also developed a new curriculum of patient-doctor communication for clerkship and internship of NTUH since September 2007 which was successfully implanted and highly valued.

My scholarly interests lie in assessment and evaluation in medical education as well as metabolic syndrome, especially how obesity interfere our health in terms of systemic diseases.

I was born and raised in a rural area named Chung-Hua city which located in the middle part of Taiwan. I was educated in Taipei which is the biggest city of Taiwan. I am a cheerful, curious and positive person. I like traveling in order to experience different ways of living and thinking. Outdoor sports such as snowboarding, tennis and golf are my favorites. However, I also like Chinese calligraphy and am used to practice it to keep my inner peace.
