Graduate Institute of Injury Prevention and Control

:::

Introduction

A document by WHO highlights that more than 5 million people die each year as a result of injuries, resulting from acts of violence against oneself or others, road traffic crashes, burns, drowning, falls, and poisonings, among other causes. In August 2000, the Graduate Institute of Injury Prevention and Control (IPC) was founded as the first postgraduate institute in Asia devoted to injury research. The main objective of our doctoral program commenced in 2015 aims at achieving a higher standard of basic and applied research in injury prevention and control.  Our excellence in both research and education programs has regularly attracted international students since 2010.
