For more than half a century, Fooyin University witnesses the life legacy of Taiwan people in each different generation and era. Only hardworking and humble atmosphere lasts. In each stage of our school’s development process, we have achieved pages of great records.

The school was founded in June 1952 and named as “Training preparation class of medical workers in the Southern Taiwan”.

Due to the shortage of dentists in the post war era during the 54's in Taiwan, Dr. Ju-Chuan Chou founded Chung Shan Dental Junior College (the antecedent of Chung Shan Medical University) in 1960 with the purpose of training dentists. The school was named after Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, alias Chung-Shan, in recognition of his patriotism. The demand for the institute to be elevated to the college level was growing with the time. After much effort and program enforcement, in 1977, our school was granted by the Ministry of Education to advance to Chung Shan Medical and Dental College. Yet, we kept progressing and expanding. In 2001, the institute was reorganized as Chung Shan Medical University (CSMU).

In 1981 the college became the National Taipei Nursing College and was reformed again to become the National Taipei College of Nursing in 1994. Finally, in August 2010, the Ministry of Education approved the school's new name, the "National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences," in recognition of the school's outstanding development and achievements. The university has three colleges: The College of Nursing, the College of Health Technology, and the College of Human Development and Health, as well as the General Education Centre.
