Why Learning Medical English with VietMD.Net?

1. Learning Medical English from American Doctors: Dr. W Tran and other US physicians are fully trained here in the United States: from undergraduate, medical school, internship, residency, and fellowship. 

2. Medical English is medical knowledge: You will learn medical knowledge in English and USMLE materials like US medical students and doctors. You will also learn communication skills, critical thinking, and evidence based medicine in addition to your Medical English Course. VietMD.net follows ACGME competency for teaching doctors and students. 

3. The ultimate learning goal is patient care: It is all about is patient care. That is why we are doctors. Every lecture starts with a clinical case from a real patient. Your role is a doctor in daily practice and so you are in the lecture. There is no better way to learn medical English by real patient care. Whatever you learned will be applied to daily practice. This, in turn, will have a better outcome for patient care.
