Vietnam is in Southeast Asia, with Hanoi as its capital and Ho Chi Minh City its largest metropolis. It is a country of stunning natural beauty — from Ha Long Bay to the Mekong Delta — with a rich cultural heritage spanning millennia.
Vietnam's medical education is recognised by the WHO and the MCI, and universities also hold ECFMG recognition, opening the USMLE pathway. The 6-year programme is practical-oriented, with 2 pre-clinical and 4 clinical years.
Vietnam offers one of the most affordable MBBS options in Asia while maintaining international quality standards, with modern labs and teaching hospitals. Easy Southeast Asia connectivity makes it an enriching place to spend six years.
