Recently, Tan Tao University (TTU) successfully held the “Welcome Program for the visit of Prof. Byung-Il Yeh, Yonsei University, and Dr. Le Binh Phuong, Director of the American Accreditation Commission International (AACI).” The event marked an important step forward in the University’s globalization strategy, affirming its continuous efforts to enhance the quality of medical training and healthcare service standards.
A milestone of 10 years of connection and substantive cooperation with Yonsei University
Prof. Byung-Il Yeh’s visit carries special significance, marking the 10-year milestone since he first visited and began accompanying TTU’s Faculty of Medicine. This decade-long, strong relationship serves as an important foundation for Tan Tao University and Yonsei University to move quickly from directional exchanges to concrete cooperative activities.
In the time ahead, the two sides will prioritize promptly and substantively advancing faculty and student exchange programs, first in the field of Medicine. Key activities will include:
- Specialized teaching and academic exchange: Expanding the scope of knowledge interaction between the faculty teams of both universities.
- Clinical visits and hands-on practice: Creating an environment for students to gain real-world experience.
- Joint research and specialist group connections: Strengthening international medical research capabilities.
TTU hopes that these activities will be implemented on a concise, feasible timeline with clear deliverables. Through this, the program will not only create conditions for faculty to enhance their professional competency but also help students access Yonsei University’s advanced medicine, modern research environment, and internationally standardized healthcare system.
Standardizing processes and healthcare quality accreditation according to U.S. (AACI) standards
Alongside the direction for human resource development, the working session with Dr. Le Binh Phuong — Director of AACI in Vietnam — opened up strategic perspectives on healthcare quality accreditation.
At the discussion, the two sides focused on an in-depth analysis of applying the rigorous hospital accreditation standards of the American Accreditation Commission International (AACI). This connection helps TTU standardize its management processes, optimize service quality, and ensure patient safety. This is regarded as an important stepping stone bringing the University’s medical practice models closer to the most rigorous international standards.
Affirming the commitment to raising the level of training quality
The visit of these international experts continues to affirm Tan Tao University’s commitment: placing training quality at its core, expanding global integration, and swiftly putting cooperation agreements into practice.
In particular, the prompt implementation of faculty–student exchange with Yonsei University will be a concrete, practical step aimed at improving training quality and expanding international learning and research opportunities for the TTU community. This event once again affirms TTU’s position in its efforts to bring an internationally standardized learning environment to the future generation of physicians.
