The announcement was made at a seminar in Melbourne on December 1.
Accordingly, 1,500 Vietnamese doctors will be trained for 3 years in an international training program called iSTEP – D. The program, designed by the ADA and VADE, aims to equip Vietnamese doctors with advanced medical knowledge and practical skills.
