Medical Education System in Vietnam: Vietnam is a country that lies in the lower and middle class income group. The education program in the country is in two forms; six year integrated and four year graduate program. The educational program involves rotational practice and theoretical classes. This is the most traditional method of teaching the students which covers both practical and theoretical aspects but stems its strength from the theoretical courses. Students pursue the course for medical education straight after the high school and go for the six year integrated course which involves medical science and basic sciences.
Changes
in Medical Education: Vietnam follows a traditional system of education and a rigid curriculum
but in recent years there have been changes pertaining the system. The schools
are working on limiting the number of mandatory course hours devoted to
non-medical subjects, such as politics and even the basic sciences. Such time
could then be used to teach more contemporary medical topics, such as genetics,
molecular medicine, humanities, and mental health. New teaching methods are
also being introduced. They are also partnering up with Medical Schools in
Countries like Laos and Cambodia.
Bottleneck
for the medical education ecosystem: Although the competition is very high, but a major
issue with the ecosystem is that there is no regulatory or statutory body
controlling and minding the ethics of medical practitioners. Unlike other ASEAN countries that have
Medical Councils, Vietnam does not. But in 2021, they have declared that a
Medical Council will be incorporated with respect to rules and regulations
pertaining to WHO. They are now starting for accreditation of their training
programs with ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance. With all these
positive changes in Vietnam, we expect to provide quality medical manpower to
respond to the regional needs. In addition, the development of a way to
objectively assess the quality of medical training in Vietnam such as a
national exam of medical graduation is under preparation. Such an exam would
allow schools to improve medical education. The medical schools are now
training medical doctors of Laos, Cambodia.
COVID
Impact on Medical Colleges: Covid-19 has impacted the medical education
temporarily. Pandemic forced medical schools in the Vietnam to stop
face-to-face learning activities and abruptly shift to an online curriculum. Many
colleges faced difficulty in conducting final year exams which has affected the
total toll of graduates in 2020. Experts believe that the drop in the numbers
is temporary and the system will revive completely in the future.
The report titled “Landscape
of Vietnam Medical Education Market- Outcome Based Curriculum with Clear
Explicit Articulations that Medical Graduates should Demonstrate” by Ken Research suggested that the Colleges have faced a slight
downfall in terms of No. of Intake, Enrollment and Graduates amid COVID-19. Major
merits of pursuing medicine in Vietnam Universities are factors such as no
language barrier, cheap cost of living, free style education and high
opportunities.
