Medical Doctor Program
The International Medical Doctor (MD) Program at Hong Bang International University (HIU) is a comprehensive six-year undergraduate program designed for international students who aspire to become globally competent medical professionals. Taught entirely in English, the program offers a dynamic combination of academic learning, laboratory practice, and early clinical exposure at leading hospitals in Vietnam.
This program aims to train future physicians who possess strong clinical skills, medical ethics, research capability, and a global mindset. The curriculum is developed to meet international medical education standards while incorporating the cultural and healthcare context of Vietnam, creating a well-rounded foundation for future practice both locally and internationally.
During the first two years, students focus on foundational subjects such as Vietnamese language and culture, biophysics, genetics, psychology, and medical ethics. These courses are supported by practice in 12 modern laboratories and 60 specialized pre-clinical labs, equipped with 3D virtual anatomy tables and simulation models, ensuring that students build a strong base in medical science and patient interaction.
From the third year onward, students transition into clinical subjects including microbiology, pathology, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and obstetrics–gynecology. Practical experience is a core component of the program, with students engaging in clinical rotations at reputable medical facilities such as FV Hospital, Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital, and Dong Nai General Hospital. This hands-on training begins as early as the first year and continues throughout the program.
In the sixth and final year, students undergo advanced clinical training and can choose between completing a graduation thesis or taking a comprehensive final examination that covers both theoretical and practical competencies.
To be eligible for admission, applicants must:
- Hold foreign citizenship
- Have completed high school with a minimum GPA of 3.4/4.0
- Possess English proficiency at B2 level or above (equivalent to IELTS 6.0+)
- Successfully pass an admission interview
The application process involves submitting a completed HIU Application Form and supporting documents via email to international@hiu.vn. Required documents include academic transcripts, high school diploma, English certificate, passport copy, and (if available) a NEET transcript. All documents must be in PDF format, properly labeled, and sent in a single compressed folder.
The tuition fee for the first academic year is USD 5,500, payable in two installments per year, as scheduled by the university. After payment is confirmed, students will receive official enrollment confirmation, and student visa processing typically takes 7–10 business days.
With a faculty of internationally trained educators and a curriculum aligned with global standards, the MD Program at HIU prepares students not just to become doctors—but to become doctors who can lead, innovate, and make a difference in healthcare systems around the world.
