In the beginning, there was only Internal Medicine for both adults and children. In 1906, when Taipei Hospital was remodeled as Taiwan Government House Taipei Hospital, the Department of pediatrics was separated from the Department of Internal Medicine and Usuki Saika was the dean then. In 1919 the College of Medicine remodeled as Taiwan Government Medicine Specialized School. In 1921 Togawa Tokufu took the position of the dean of Pediatrics Unit. He was also a teacher, specializing in Pediatrics. That was the beginning of Pediatrics teaching. He resigned in 1922, and then Yasui Keinosuke became the dean and the professor of Pediatrics Unit. When he went on a Europe for researching, Sakai Kiyoshi took his place to be the dean of the Unit. </p><p> The College of Medicine, Taihoku Imperial University was established in 1936, and remodeled as Taihoku Imperial University Hospital two years later. Pediatrics Classroom was founded then. Sakai Kiyoshi was the first classroom director, and Murakami Katsumi was the assistant professor. Huo-Yao Wei returned from Tokyo to serve as the instructor of the medicine specialized school the same year. It was the first time that a natire Taiwanese took part in pediatrics teaching. Following Taiwan's retrocession to Chinese Sovereignty in 1945, Taihoku Imperial University Hospital renamed as National Taiwan University Hopital. Sakai Kiyoshi was required to remain his former position. He returned Japan two years later, and Huo-Yao Wei took his position to be the director. Jong-Lin Chen, Rui-Yun Syu, Ting-Jian Lee, and Jong-Hui Chen intermittently joined the team of pediatrics teachers. </p>單位簡介 兒童醫療門診圖　　小兒科究竟不是大人的縮影(miniature)，也不是小型的大人(little man)。可愛的嬰兒宛如一顆「鑽石」，他兒童醫療門診97.7.14為您服務們的價值與潛力是無法估計的。臺大小兒科同仁，為了他（她）們的保育與診療，不辭辛勞、不斷研究，期望他（她）們恢復健康，發育長大成人。但確常常會因非學術上的問題而觸礁、氣餒。明知其病情有救，但因其雙親貧窮，我們的社會又無法予以援助，任其自生自滅，只嘆小兒科醫師難當，無以為助。 　　近年來我們的社會結構正在改變，小家庭，即核子家庭(nucleus family)越來越多，年輕的父母親，發現自己的孩子生病，所患的病又是重病，如先天性心臟病、腎臟病、白血病等必須住院做藥物治療，甚至於外科手術，那做父母的著急、惶恐之情況可想而知，再如家中沒儲蓄，小孩一生病，情況就更加窘迫、可憐。過去30餘年，我們的公、勞保制度未及於兒童。如今全民健保實施，兒童福利更趨完美。 　　我國實施家庭計畫已稍有成就，一般家庭的小孩只有一個或兩個。設想他們患上重病，小兒科醫師的任務更為加重，而不得不盡其所能，予以治療。臺大小兒科之任務應該朝向提高小兒科診療之責質而努力。希望在台灣出生的小孩，都能接受應該有的治療；為此我們必須多加培養小兒科醫師，一方面做一般小兒科診療(primary pediatric care)，另一方面，尤其要在教學醫院及各大醫院發展各種小兒專科醫師，做小兒科專科診療(pediatric subspeciality care)。我們更期待幾年後臺大兒童醫院之成立，能大幅提高我國兒童醫學研究及診療水準。 醫療服務項目及服務團隊 小兒部目前由11個次專科組成，對於兒童的疾病診治預防、生長發育、身心發展提供詳盡的醫療照護及諮詢，各次專科全方位同心協力合作，未來將以臺大兒童醫院出發，提供台灣地區的兒童一個優良的醫療環境為最大目標。
