After selecting suitable candidates for medical study, Huang believes medical students must receive a balanced general education. Unlike American medical students, who already have undergraduate degrees, Taiwan's doctors-to-be enter medical school fresh from high school. Without the experience of a balanced college education, they end up as "medical artisans."
在挑選適合的醫學生後，黃崑嚴認為，醫學生還須接受完整的通識教育，因為台灣醫學生是高中畢業生，不同於美國醫學教育是「學士後教育」；若不經通識教育的洗禮，培養出來的不過是「醫匠」罷了。
