NTUH and Seoul National University Hospital hold a joint monthly Spine Tumour Board, bringing together neurosurgeons, oncologists, and radiologists from both institutions to review complex spinal oncology cases together. Read more ▾ The board functions as a standing peer-review mechanism — clinical decisions are stress-tested against both teams' protocols and outcome data. NTUH contributes Asia's highest metastatic spine surgery volume (186 cases/year); Seoul contributes an independent international perspective. The result is continuous bilateral benchmarking built into routine clinical practice, not a periodic exchange event.

The collaboration runs in two directions: NTUH trained 12 Guatemalan seed educators in paediatrics and obstetrics, while NTUH faculty delivered three residency training workshops and conducted clinical exchange with two Guatemalan tertiary hospitals. Read more ▾ The seed educator model is built for scale — each of the 12 trainees returns equipped to train their own local clinical staff, multiplying NTUH's reach well beyond the direct cohort. The pairing of inbound training at NTUH with outbound faculty deployment in Guatemala reflects a sustained knowledge-transfer partnership rather than a one-off exchange.

Eleven members of the Philippine Heart Center's cardiac transplant team — led by Director Dr. Avenilo L. Aventura Jr. — completed clinical fellowships at NTUH in heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support, each embedded for two weeks to one month. Read more ▾ Fellows trained alongside NTUH's transplant team in live clinical settings — joining ward rounds, scrubbing into procedures, and working through case management protocols. The depth of engagement means PHC trainees return not just with observation experience, but with the procedural and decision-making fluency to apply NTUH's transplant standards at home.
