I am in charge of the work related to global health, both domestic and international human resource development. I have worked as a nurse in the Hight Care Unit and the New Infectious Disease Unit at NCGM Center Hospital, and later as a clinical assistant professor in basic nursing and gerontological nursing at the National College of Nursing.
