Hospital-University Model: Opportunity for Medical students to gain clinical experience from the first year

In the context of international integration, the development of universities specializing in health sciences following the Hospital-University model has become a trend. This model offers a harmonious combination of theoretical education and clinical practice, providing a solid foundation for improving the quality of education and better meeting the needs of the healthcare sector.

With the motto “Strong in Theory – Solid in Practice,” Tan Tao University (TTU) continuously improves and innovates its training methods to meet the ever-increasing demands of society. The Hospital-University model, combining classroom education with hospital-based practice, has become a solid foundation for health sciences students. This is not only an effective teaching method but also a bridge between theory and practice, equipping students with in-depth knowledge and professional skills right from their time at the university.

In its development strategy, Tan Tao University Hospital serves as the clinical practice facility for Tan Tao University in training health sciences students. TTU medical students will receive education and participate in clinical practice, meeting the increasing demand for high-quality healthcare professionals from the early years of their studies.

Tan Tao University Hospital, with an area of over 8,000m² and an investment capital of up to 530 billion VND, serves not only as a clinical practice facility but also as a high-quality medical center in the region. The hospital plays a crucial role in the local healthcare system, providing top-notch healthcare services and earning the trust of patients. This allows students to encounter a wide range of real-world cases, understand the rigorous demands of medicine, and develop practical problem-solving skills.

The core team of doctors and medical staff at Tan Tao University Hospital not only manage and operate the hospital but also actively engage in specialized medical work, bringing extensive experience in both teaching and clinical practice. With deep expertise and practical application in patient care, these doctors and lecturers ensure that students are not only taught theory but also guided in practical training by those with real-world experience.

TTU medical students have a significant advantage by gaining exposure to the hospital environment from their first year, actively participating in real patient care and treatment processes. They have the opportunity to interact with patients, study medical records, and learn from specific clinical cases. This combination of learning and hands-on practice significantly enhances their academic performance, preparing them to seamlessly transition into the professional healthcare environment after graduation.

The Hospital-University model at Tan Tao University Hospital has proven to be an effective training method, providing immense value in the comprehensive development of skills and knowledge for students in health sciences. By closely integrating theory with practice, students are introduced early to real-world healthcare environments, enhancing their ability to apply knowledge and solve clinical situations. This model serves as a critical stepping stone, preparing future doctors and healthcare professionals to meet the rigorous demands of the medical field, thereby improving the quality of healthcare for the community.
