Short Biography
https://sites.google.com/mail.ndmctsgh.edu.tw/kaoliting
We are the Population Health & Drug Safety Lab, at National Defense Medical Center, Tri-service General Hospital in Taiwan. Our work draws from clinical and health information in the real world. By using appropriate designs and statistical strategies, we carry out research in a variety of clinical areas including dermatology, psychiatry, and obstetrics & gynecology. Our goal is providing comprehensive viewpoints on population health and drug safety. Furthermore, we attempt to support meaningful health system change through real-world evidences.
