From the very beginning, much to the effort of the School of Medicine, TTU, non-traditional classes have been implemented with flying colors. Medicine, which is the backbone of the healthcare industry, has been the challenge for faculties and staff of the SOM for online courses. However, with the inviatation of many foreign professors, SOM has maximized the use of online classes with Zoom and Moodle.
During the chaos of pandemic, we still have astonishing breathrough in learning and teaching. According to Prof. Thach Nguyen, Vice Provost of TTU: “We always aspire for success, for academic breakthroughs with new ideas, positive thinking and above all, peace of mind for students. We are advancing with highly – acclaimed professors and doctors from the United States”.
