Stepping up medical human resource training

Over six decades of formation and development, the school is the "cradle" of training medical human resources in the province. In the 2024-2025 school year, Lang Son Medical College maintained a stable training scale with over 700 full-time and short-term students, and more than 1,500 students participating in continuous medical knowledge update courses. With good training quality, the rate of students with good and excellent academic performance reached 84%; the graduation rate reached 100% in all training majors. Employment surveys showed that over 65% of students had jobs after 6 months of graduation, mainly at medical facilities in the province and the region.

The school has organized a variety of professional and skill activities: student skills competitions, soft skills classes, start-up skills, business tours... Thereby, students not only master their expertise, but also practice professional manners, communication skills, and teamwork - the core elements of modern medical human resources, meeting job requirements.

Master, Doctor, Meritorious Physician Trinh Thi Xuan Quynh, Vice Principal of Lang Son College, said: Closely following the direction of educational innovation, enhancing people's health care and promoting science and technology, digital transformation, the school's training work is focused on organizing in a standardized, flexible and updated direction. Regarding programs, documents and quality control, the school proactively reviews, builds and updates training programs for nursing, pharmacy, medical doctors, midwives, village health workers... according to output capacity standards. The school focuses on practice time, integrating basic medical content, preventive medicine, chronic disease management, and patient safety.

Currently, all lecturers have applied information technology in teaching; enhanced active teaching methods, simulated clinical situations, discussed cases, and practiced "hands-on instruction". The school organizes training to improve pedagogical capacity, update training trends according to practical capacity and evidence-based medicine, helping the team to constantly innovate. In the assessment of students, the school applies multiple-choice tests on computers, regular assessment through clinical practice, situational exercises, comments from internship facilities, focusing on practical capacity, professional skills, and attitude towards serving patients, ensuring objectivity, transparency, and conformity with the orientation of standardizing medical human resource training.

One of the key points is the close coordination in training with the health care system in the province. Students are regularly trained and practiced at the Provincial General Hospital, regional health centers, commune health stations and many public and private health facilities in accordance with regulations. Thereby, students are exposed to the real working environment early on, practicing professional skills, communication, and situation handling.

Currently, the school's staff, lecturers and employees are being streamlined, standardized, and improved at postgraduate level, fostering pedagogical skills, digital capacity and scientific research, etc. Many basic-level scientific research topics, new textbooks and teaching materials have been developed and implemented, contributing to improving the school's training quality. At the same time, the school promotes digital transformation in training, applying training management systems, multiple-choice exams, electronic records, using digital signatures, document management software and developing electronic learning materials, digital lectures, improving technology usage capacity for lecturers and students, etc.
