Indian students enroll in a medicine course at Vietnam university

VOV.VN - Ho Chi Minh City-based Hong Bang International University (HIU) has just welcomed first 20 Indian students majoring in Medicine.

These are excellent students who have passed the capacity assessment round as well as interviews by professors in the field of Health and International Language and Culture at this university.

They will follow a training programme in English based on a standard programme developed by the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Health of Vietnam that is close to medical training programmes deployed in advanced countries in the world.

In addition to theoretical and clinical knowledge, the Indian students will also study Vietnamese language and Vietnamese culture. In particular, they will take part in internship courses at FV Hospital, Thong Nhat Hospital, Cho Ray Hospital, and Nguyen Trai Hospital.

After six years of study, graduates can participate in medical examination and treatment at hospitals and other medical facilities. They can also teach at medical and pharmaceutical training institutions, work at research institutes, health science management agencies, and international organizations operating in the field of health.

Vietnamese Ambassador to India Pham Sanh Chau highly appreciated the university’s initiative to enroll foreign students, saying educational institutions in Vietnam are making constant efforts to become a destination for international students.

The move will help reduce brain drain, attract foreign students, improve the teaching capacity of lecturers, and finally increase Vietnam’s position in the world education map, he said.
