One of the unique features of the MD Program at VinUniversity is Early Clinical Experience. This refers to observing a variety of settings in which healthcare is provided to the community and an opportunity to interact with patients.
The MD Education unit at the College of Health Sciences is maintaining a pool of patients with chronic illness (for example diabetes, high blood pressure etc.) who can find some time to talk to the students through face to face, via phone or through online meetings. The maximum requirement is one hour per month. This small act of kindness on the patients’ part will help us to create a better workforce for tomorrow.

One of the unique features of the MD Program at VinUniversity is Early Clinical Experience. This refers to observing a variety of settings in which healthcare is provided to the community. Sometimes, we also use trained community members who can play the role of patient so medical students can practice communication skills. The MD Education team at the College of Health Sciences is maintaining a pool of such community members who can find some time to talk to the students in sessions. The requirements are 4 hours per session on a weekday which includes briefing/training. An honorarium will be offered per session of 4 hours to selected community members.

Mentoring is an important part of the professional development of medical graduates. There is evidence in the literature that mentoring by the doctor has positive effects on student well-being and career development.
At VinUniversity, each student in the MD Program at VinUniversity will be matched with a clinician who will be the mentor for the duration of the MD program. Based on the Nurturing model of mentoring, the Longitudinal Mentoring Program will offer a safe and open environment in which MD students can discuss personal issues, learn, and try things for themselves with their mentors acting as resources and facilitators.
