In its role as a leading university of health sciences for both Ho Chi Minh City and the southern region, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine continuously strives to contribute to the development of the healthcare workforce and the well-being of the populace. Despite its recent establishment, the Faculty of Pharmacy is keenly aware of its mission to supply the City with a healthcare workforce that is highly qualified and professionally competent in the pharmaceutical sector. The Faculty is progressively transforming, relentlessly striving to become a reputable, high-quality center for education and research in the country, while gradually integrating with regional and international education systems.
In recent years, with significant investments in physical infrastructure and the support of the Department of Health acting as a crucial link to hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, the Faculty of Pharmacy has begun to orient its student training towards hospital pharmacy, with specializations in Pharmaceutical Management & Economics and Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacy. Students benefit from access to updated knowledge from an experienced faculty and opportunities for internships at prestigious healthcare institutions. This environment provides students with a concrete perspective of their future profession, enabling them to establish clear learning objectives, define their career paths, and strategically position themselves for the future.
I have been in your position, feeling the same sense of uncertainty when first entering the university environment. I have also experienced the nervousness of sitting before recruiters and have navigated the early stages of a career, searching for a path I was truly passionate about pursuing. I hope you will deeply understand that your university years are a crucial time for accumulating the knowledge and skills that will enable you to stand on your own two feet in the future.
