Philosophy

Dr. Lin believes that learning is a lifelong experience, especially for those who practice medicine. He believes that learning how to learn effectively and independently is more important than learning the knowledge itself in caring the patients in the future. Dr. Lin also believes that treating patients with passion is as important as treating them with what medicine can offer the best. He encourages each student to explore his/her unique way to achieve scholar excellence and helps them to become physicians with great passion.
