As the largest private healthcare system in Vietnam, Vinmec is highly regarded for creating attractive benefits, a professional environment, and especially for providing maximum opportunities for staff to enhance their professional skills. With these advantages, Vinmec is considered one of the best workplaces in the healthcare sector today.
GS Glen N. Gaulton, Vice President and Director of Global Health at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, evaluated that Vinmec's training model in the future could contribute to reforming the medical education system in Vietnam.
Outstanding Opportunities for Professional Development
After 7 years of operation, Vinmec has become one of the most trusted private healthcare systems, especially for cases requiring high-quality care, modern medical equipment, and close monitoring of progress. The Vingroup Group has invested in Vinmec’s healthcare system with state-of-the-art facilities, advanced medical equipment, and a team of doctors trained and developed according to modern medical trends. What Vinmec currently has and is striving for has truly attracted the attention of professionals and healthcare personnel.
According to Ms. Lê Thúy Anh, CEO of Vinmec Healthcare System, with its network of hospitals and research institutes, Vinmec's doctors are given opportunities for professional development, scientific research, and participation in extensive academic activities both domestically and internationally. With this spirit, the Vinmec Stem Cell and Genomic Technology Research Institute began operations in late 2016 and has achieved great success. “In the future, we will have research institutes focused on cancer, cardiology, and other difficult-to-treat diseases, bringing more effective treatment methods to the people of Vietnam, while also contributing to the development of medicine,” emphasized Ms. Lê Thúy Anh.
A standout highlight in Vinmec’s transformation into an academic healthcare system is the establishment of its Centers of Excellence (COE) in collaboration with top universities and hospitals worldwide. Through these international partnerships, Vinmec’s team of doctors and nurses has had the opportunity to work and regularly exchange expertise with specialists from prestigious institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania (one of the top 8 universities in the U.S.), ICON Group (the largest cancer care service provider in Australia), and SANNO Hospital (one of Japan’s most advanced private hospitals).
In particular, VinUni University – with its Health Sciences Faculty – is set to recruit and train doctors, nurses, and medical residents starting in 2020. This will provide a unique opportunity to integrate clinical practice and existing research with training and teaching right at Vinmec. This is a special opportunity for healthcare professionals to enhance their academic qualifications and pursue an unlimited career development path.
Vinmec’s Institute-School model is being developed based on the standards of advanced global medical systems, aiming to train a new generation of doctors and nurses who will contribute to the Vietnamese healthcare system in the near future. Professor Glen N. Gaulton, Vice President and Director of Global Health at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and current member of the Interim Executive Board of VinUni University, emphasized: “The ideal medical training process must occur in a hospital environment where learners have the opportunity to engage with a diverse range of patients and diseases. Therefore, Vinmec’s future training model could play a role in reforming the medical education system in Vietnam.”
Attractive Benefits and a Professional Work Environment
Vinmec has built a solid foundation for a safe environment for both patients and healthcare staff, based on the active and creative participation of every member of the system. This is part of Vinmec's effort to improve the quality of medical services and promote management operations according to the highest international standards.
A prime example is the “Vinmec Rising 2018: A New Approach to Enhance Employee Participation in Creative Activities, Innovation, and Quality Improvement.” This competition marked the first comprehensive innovation initiative in the healthcare industry in Vietnam; it engaged all Vinmec staff in proposing and implementing innovative initiatives to improve service quality. Through this competition, doctors saw a 95% reduction in administrative work, allowing them to focus more on their specialty and spend more time with patients. Additionally, 100% of outpatient prescriptions were reviewed to ensure safe and effective use of medication, and the time taken to reach patients by ambulance was reduced by 30%, increasing the chances of successful emergency care. This competition not only contributed to improving patient experience but also helped increase productivity and reduce operating costs in the hospital. At the 2019 Asia Hospital Management Conference, Vinmec was honored as the “Most Progressive Hospital in Vietnam.”
Ms. Lê Bảo Thoa, Director of Training and Human Resources at Vinmec Healthcare System, emphasized: “People are the decisive factor in Vinmec's success. Therefore, we always focus on investing in human resources quality, attracting, and developing an outstanding workforce. At the same time, Vinmec creates a dynamic, professional, and humane work environment where every individual is given the best conditions to fully unleash their potential, step by step integrating and absorbing global medical excellence.”
Not only does Vinmec offer exceptional opportunities for learning and professional development, but its compensation package is also highly attractive, with competitive salaries and bonuses.
Every Vinmec staff member, from the leadership team to clinical and non-clinical personnel, is committed to building a non-profit healthcare system that provides the best healthcare services to the people of Vietnam. This effort has earned Vinmec recognition as a leading healthcare institution in the "100 Best Workplaces" survey, conducted by Anphabe and market research company Intage in 2019.
