Recently, the University of the Pacific Ocean (UPO) signed cooperation agreements with several major hospitals in Khanh Hoa Province to strengthen collaboration in education, practical training, and research for students in health-related programs.
The participating institutions included Khanh Hoa General Hospital, Ninh Thuan General Hospital, Yersin Nha Trang General Hospital, and Khanh Hoa Psychiatric Hospital.
Through these partnerships, students majoring in Nursing and Biomedical Sciences at UPO will have greater opportunities to gain exposure to professional healthcare environments, participate in clinical practice, and develop their professional skills under the guidance of experienced doctors and healthcare professionals.
In addition to internships and professional training, students will also have opportunities to participate in scientific research and practical applications in healthcare. These experiences will contribute to strengthening their professional competencies and their ability to adapt to real-world working environments after graduation.
Strengthening cooperation with healthcare institutions is an important part of UPO’s efforts to enhance the quality of its application-oriented education by connecting academic learning with professional practice.
The partnerships between the University of the Pacific Ocean and its hospital partners are expected to contribute to creating a practical learning environment for students in health-related programs while supporting the development of a high-quality healthcare workforce capable of meeting the healthcare needs of the local community and the region.
