Collaboration Agreement with Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital: Bridging the Gap Between Classroom and Hospital

On the morning of September 27, Dai Nam University and Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital signed a training collaboration agreement. This collaboration continues to bridge the gap between classroom and hospital, as medical students at Dai Nam University are permitted to "stay at the hospital" 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to learn both theory and clinical practice under the supervision of professors, associate professors, doctors, and specialists.

Dai Nam University's Vice Rector, Dr. Le Thi Thanh Huong; Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Duc Hanh and other faculty members attended the signing ceremony.

Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital was represented by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duc Minh, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Hospital; Senior Doctor Lai Doan Hanh, Deputy Secretary and Director of the Hospital; and several department heads.

In the speech, Dr. Le Thi Thanh Huong said that "medical students' training cannot be isolated from hospitals. "This is an important factor in determining the quality of medical graduates."

"Medicine is a discipline that directly affects human health and life. If training is not done properly, and theory is not combined with experience in hospitals with actual patients and real work, it may result in low-quality graduates, posing threats to society..." Dr. Le Thi Thanh Huong emphasized.

Dr. Le Thi Thanh Huong also acknowledged that the partnership between Dai Nam University and Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital will benefit both parties, with students "benefiting the most."

Dai Nam University consistently focuses on establishing and maintaining ties between hospitals and the university. The purpose is to give students the finest practical and internship environment possible, enabling them to work alongside genuine medical personnel throughout their clinical internships.

With the signing of the partnership agreement, Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital joins Dai Nam University's other partner facilities, including Xanh-Pon General Hospital, Ha Dong General Hospital, and Viet Duc Hospital, as a clinical teaching venue for medical students.

Both parties decided to concentrate on pupils and train them according to their abilities. They will work closely together to build curriculum, organize practical training, and evaluate outcomes. Both parties will also make the best use of their resources for training, scientific research, and public health improvement, as well as holding specialist workshops.

Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital has officially become a clinical teaching center for Dai Nam University medical students.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Minh Duc said, "Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital, with 55 years of history, is one of the two premier traditional medicine hospitals in Hanoi, providing the highest quality of traditional medicine therapy. The hospital has 230 beds and eleven functional sections. Our expert staff of physicians is always available to help train future generations."

"We pledge to provide all of the essential circumstances for Dai Nam University students to conduct clinical training, guaranteeing that they are adequately supervised by competent physicians. The hospital is also prepared to promote theoretical learning in order to assure academic quality and improve the hospital-school interaction," Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Minh Duc said.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Minh Duc said that Dai Nam University students would have access to all necessary resources for study and practice.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Duc Hanh expressed entire faith in sending "his children" to Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital for clinical training and practice.

"With the support of Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital, students will have the best possible internship experience, and the hospital will treat them as family members, guiding them to become knowledgeable and skilled professionals..." Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Duc Hanh observed.
