How Many Sessions on Professional Ethics are Required During General Clinical Practice?
According to Clause 3, Article 4 of Circular 21/2020/TT-BYT stipulating the framework of content and duration of practicing medical examination and treatment, during the process of practicing specialized techniques, practitioners will be trained on legal regulations regarding medical examination and treatment, professional regulations, professional ethics, patient safety, and communication and behavior skills of medical practitioners with a total duration of 20 sessions (each session comprises 4 periods).
