The establishment of DNC International Faculty of Medicine – An orientation towards building up an educational system to train students to become global citizens

Nam Can Tho University (DNC) is currently setting up the International Faculty of Medicine, in collaboration with our partners, to provide an international-standard learning environment and training for students. This milestone in our education system will equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to become global citizens and excel in their future medical careers. Furthermore, we are working closely with our partners to enroll international medical students and foster a diverse and inclusive learning environment. Our faculty will offer a range of modern teaching methods, such as interactive lectures and hands-on training, to fully equip students for the challenges of global integration.

DNC International Faculty of Medicine – An advanced educational foundation

We have designed the DNC International Faculty of Medicine with an internationally standardized curriculum that combines theory and practical training, ensuring that students not only master medical knowledge, but also develop clinical and critical thinking skills. The educational program is designed according to globally recognized medical education standards, which encompass both fundamental and specialized courses, as well as clinical internships at partner hospitals and involvement in scientific research projects.

Internationally-qualified lecturers and facilities

DNC International Faculty of Medicine has been attracting top experts in the field of medicine. These experts come from prestigious universities in Vietnam and countries with advanced medical systems worldwide. They will not only be responsible for teaching, but also for serving as advisors, guiding students in research projects and clinical internships

We will provide the faculty with advanced technology laboratories, fully-equipped clinical simulation rooms, and a comprehensive medical library with resources from reputable publishers. The faculty’s learning environment is diligently designed to promote creativity, foster critical thinking, and encourage self-directed learning for students.

Pioneering efforts in compiling practical clinical textbooks

Textbooks play a crucial role in medical education, providing reliable reference materials for both lecturers and students. They assist in standardizing knowledge, supplying the latest medical findings, and offering a structured learning path from foundational concepts to advanced topics.

Dr. Phillip Tran, an expert at DNC International Faculty of Medicine, has taken the lead in developing the first-ever student-oriented medical textbooks in Vietnam. These textbooks prioritize clarity, memorability, and real-world applicability. Drawing from his experiences in medical education in both Vietnam and the United States, Dr. Tran has guided an international team of professors and doctors in creating this valuable resource.

The goal is to enhance the teaching process within the faculty, as well as emphasize knowledge sharing, continuity, and inspiration for future medical professionals

International cooperation and global learning opportunities

We strive to establish strong partnerships with universities and medical organizations around the world. Our students are given the chance to engage in exchange programs, internships, and research projects in leading countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, and Malaysia. These international experiences not only broaden students’ knowledge and skills, but also cultivate their adaptability and ability to thrive in diverse cultural settings.

Development Orientation and Career Prospects

The establishment of the DNC International Faculty of Medicine is a major milestone in the training of high-quality healthcare professionals. Our goal is to prepare students to become skilled and ethically responsible physicians who can excel in an international setting. Graduates from our faculty will have a wide range of career opportunities, including working in hospitals, clinics, international health organizations, and participating in global medical research projects.
