Dear esteemed members,
Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for your support, which has enabled me to be elected as the President of the Taiwan Rheumatology Association. I have been a member of the association for over 30 years, and I am proud to say that our association has been established for 40 years. Witnessing the progress of our association over the years, thanks to the efforts of past presidents, directors, and all members, fills me with admiration. Our association's affairs have flourished, and our membership has steadily grown. Moreover, seeing more young physicians willing to enter the field of rheumatology, and thereby providing better treatment and care for rheumatic diseases, is truly commendable. I am honored to be part of the association's family.
In my campaign, I mentioned several visions that I hope to achieve during my three-year term. I aim to assist members in achieving excellence in teaching, research, service, and training. Additionally, during my tenure, I hope to accomplish the following goals: 1. Encourage young physicians to join the association's operational team. 2. Enhance the internationalization of our association and optimize exchanges with other countries. 3. Ensure that the association's resources are beneficial to all members. 4. Endeavor to help our members increase their income. I anticipate that the tasks ahead in the next three years will be challenging, which fills me with both humility and determination.
I sincerely hope that all members can provide me and the association with more suggestions in the coming years, so that together we can strive for a better future for our association. Thank you all.
Best regards,
TIEN-TSAI CHENG
President of the Taiwan College of Rheumatology
