Through teaching, research, and service provision, the Institute aims to enhance the health and welfare of all mankind. The educational goals are to foster the backbone of public health manpower and to cultivate leaders of health policy and management who uphold health and human rights concepts, global visions, as well as professionalism. The Institute of Health Policy and Management (hereinafter referred to as the IHPM) can be traced back to the Graduate Institute of Public Health (GIPH) founded under the College of Medicine, NTU in 1951. The GIPH was the successor of the Institute of Tropical Medicine setup under the Taiwan Governor-General Office during the Japanese Colonial Period. The GIPH was established to provide on-job trainings for public health staff and to conduct public health related research. In 1961, the two teaching divisions – Public Health Division and Preventive Medicine Division were set up, and a master-level graduate program was commenced. In response to the growing needs of the society, more teaching divisions were set up, including the Divisions of Health Administration, Occupational Medicine and Industrial Hygiene, Epidemiology, Environmental Health, and Health Care Organization and Management. A doctorate program was also commenced in 1985. Since the establishment of the College of Public Health in 1993, the teaching divisions formerly under the GIPH were transformed and become independent graduate institutes of specialized fields, including the Institutes of Occupational Medicine and Industrial Hygiene, Epidemiology, Health Care Organization and Administration, Environmental Health, Preventive Medicine. Meanwhile, the Heath Administration Division, the only division that remained under the GIPH was also restructured and reformed into the Institute of Health Policy and Management. In response to rapidly changing social environment and growing public health needs, the College of Public Health has continued to modify its structure of organization. In August 2010, the Institute of Health Policy and Management and the Institute of Health Care Organization and Administration were merged, in order to strengthen exchange and cooperation among faculty members. Curriculum and other learning resources are currently under review and reorganization.健康政策與管理研究所（以下簡稱健管所）之歷史緣起，可追溯至本校醫學院於1951年設立的公共衛生學研究所（簡稱公衛所），其前身為日治時代總督府設置之熱帶醫學研究所。公衛所設立初期，係以辦理衛生人員在職訓練及從事公共衛生學研究為主要任務；自1961年開始設有「公共衛生學組」及「預防醫學組」兩大教學分組，並開始招收碩士班學生。之後，為因應社會需要，公衛所陸續設立「衛生行政」、「職業醫學與工業衛生」、「流行病學」、「環境衛生」、「醫院管理」等教學分組，並於1985年增設博士班。 1993年公共衛生學院成立之後，原隸屬於公衛所的各教學分組陸續獨立成專業研究所，包括職業醫學與工業衛生、流行病學、醫療機構與管理、環境衛生、預防醫學等；而唯一留在原所的衛生行政組，亦於1998年更名為衛生政策與管理研究所。 公共衛生學院為因應迅速變遷的環境和需求，積極推動組織重整，「衛生政策與管理研究所」與「醫療機構管理研究所」亦於2010 年8 月正式整併，期能透過組織調整簡化行政強化教師間的交流與合作，並重新規劃課程，以提昇健康政策與醫務管理領域學生的學習資源。 為呼應國際對公共衛生專業人才養成教育所要求的五大核心知識的培育，及因應臺灣社會的需求，原本在「健康政策與管理研究所」中健康促進組的師生，累積相當可觀的社會與行為科學的研究成就與教學能量，進而於2015年8月新成立「健康行為與社區科學研究所」 。 隨著人口老化以及民眾對身心健康需求提高、醫療照護市場競爭促使創新領導與組織變革之議題受到重視，及因應醫療保健政策變革和政府組織再造與推動醫療管理服務產業發展之政策方向，需積極培育兼具醫療衛生與社會福利知能和醫療保健體系優秀領導人才，增加在健康產業之社會影響力，本所於2016年成立「健康政策與管理研究所高階經營碩士在職專班」。Academic Institute
