摘要

通識教育的「通」，就是溝通、貫通、會通與互通之意，「識」則含有知識、見識、器識與洞識之意；換言之，所謂「通識教育」即以培有具備「融會貫通且具有整合性知識」之學生爲目的。更簡單地說，通識教育的教育目的的在於促進現代知識青年不但是一個自然人、科技人，更是一個社會人、文化人。
而針對技職體系與元培科學技術學院來說，通識教育的理念可以簡化爲下列三點：
1.通識教育就是全人教育，目的在於教導學生學習如何做人處事的道理。
2.就掛職教育體系而言，通識教育尤須強化人文社會方面之知識，教導學生如何去認清人與物的關的係、人與環境的關係、進而去調適人我關係、群已關係，俾能健全其人格發展。
3.就元培科技學院之學校特性而言，通識教育需要特別強化人文關懷與慈悲喜捨的精神。
基於此一構想，元培科技學院通識教育課程規劃之目的，在於養成學習者能以具備通識精神之專業教育，培育出富於人關懷之專業技能，俾「通識」與「專業」二者兼容並蓄，相得益彰。並據此制訂核心通識課程--「醫事倫理」與「專業倫理」。前者適用於帶有醫事類之科系(如：放射、護理、醫技、醫管與醫工)；後者適用於其他非醫事類科系(如：環衛、食衛、餐管及資管)等是。
