Congratulations to Nam Can Tho University on Joining the USMLE Examination
News - December 30, 2024

DNC - Today (Dec 27th, 2024) marks a significant milestone in the journey of Nam Can Tho University towards international integration and excellence. With official recognition to participate in the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination), the university has achieved a remarkable accomplishment that highlights its dedication to quality education and global standards.

The USMLE is a prestigious examination that enables medical practitioners to qualify for practicing medicine in the United States. Being granted eligibility to participate in this exam is not only a testament to the high standard of education at Nam Can Tho University but also a proud moment for Vietnam’s medical education on the global stage.

This success reflects the tireless efforts of the university’s leadership, faculty, and students in enhancing teaching quality, investing in modern facilities, and building internationally recognized training programs. It also serves as an inspiration for future generations of medical students to strive for excellence, aiming to become outstanding doctors who contribute not only to healthcare in Vietnam but also globally.

Congratulations to Nam Can Tho University on this well-deserved recognition! May this achievement pave the way for more successes and help to elevate Vietnam’s medical education to the international community.

Introduction to the USMLEs

The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a series of licensing exams required to practice medicine in the United States. The USMLE is composed of three main steps:

  • Step 1: Tests foundational knowledge in basic medical sciences.
  • Step 2 CK (Clinical Knowledge): Assesses clinical knowledge across medical specialties.
  • Step 3: Evaluates the ability to manage patients independently.

Congratulations to Nam Can Tho University on this well-deserved recognition! May this achievement pave the way for more successes and help to elevate Vietnam’s medical education to the international community.

Sponsor Note

The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) administers the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 for international medical graduates (those outside the U.S.):

  • Ensures that international medical graduates meet the eligibility criteria to take the USMLE.
  • Provides the ECFMG Certification, a requirement to apply for residency programs in the U.S.

Medical students and graduates from ECFMG-recognized institutions can apply for the USMLE as long as their graduation year is included in the approved list.

The USMLE is not just a benchmark for evaluating a doctor’s skills but also serves as a gateway for doctors to integrate into the global medical community.

When an international medical school is granted a Sponsor Note by the U.S. Department of Health through the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), its medical graduates become eligible to sit for the USMLE.

This eligibility provides them with equal opportunities to compete with U.S. medical graduates for residency programs in the United States. Additionally, it opens doors for postgraduate training programs not only in the U.S. but also in other countries worldwide.

A Sponsor Note is not only a prestigious recognition of a school’s quality of education but also a key that enables international students to access advanced medical systems and global career opportunities.
