Will my nursing medical practice certificate in Vietnam be revoked if I go abroad to work?

Please let me ask, if I export labor in the nursing profession for 3 years, will my nursing practice certificate be revoked? Because I can't go to class to update my knowledge.

According to Clause 1, Article 29 of the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2009, a medical practice certificate shall be revoked when:

a/ It is granted ultra vires;

b/ It contains contents contrary to law:

c/ The practitioner fails to practice for 2 consecutive years;

d/ The practitioner is confirmed to have committed professional and technical mistakes causing serious consequences to the health or life of patients;

e/ The practitioner fails to update medical knowledge for 2 consecutive years;

f/ The practitioner fails to meet health requirements for professional practice:

g/ The practitioner falls into any of the cases specified in Clause 4. Article 18 of this Law.

Thus, if you do not continuously update your medical knowledge for 2 consecutive years, your certificate will be revoked. Therefore, if you go abroad for 3 years without participating in continuously updating your medical knowledge, your certificate will be revoked in Vietnam.

She used the above regulations to compare with her case.

Can a bachelor of examination apply for a medical practice certificate in a different place of practice in Vietnam?

I'm a bachelor of examination and I'm studying to get a practicing certificate and I want to ask: I have permanent residence in Bac Giang province and I have confirmation of practicing as a technician at the provincial general hospital of Bac Ninh province. So can I apply for a practicing certificate at the Hanoi Department of Health?

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 18 of the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2009, conditions for Vietnamese to obtain a medical practice certificate:

1. To possess any of the following diplomas and certificates relevant to the form of medical practice:

a/ Professional diplomas in health granted or recognized in Vietnam:

b/ Certificates of herbalists;

c/ Certificates of owners of herbal remedies or treatment methods.

2. To possess a written certification of the practice duration, except for herbalists and owners of herbal remedies or treatment methods.

3. To possess a health certificate for practicing medical examination and treatment.

4. Not to fall into cases of being banned from professional practice or work related to the medical or pharmaceutical profession under court rulings or decisions; being examined for penal liability: serving penal sentences or rulings of courts or administrative sanction decisions on confinement to educational or medical treatment establishments: being disciplined by caution or a higher level related to professional medical examination and treatment; or losing civil act capacity or having civil act capacity restricted.

According to this regulation in Vietnam, combined with the regulations on practice time in Article 24 of the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2009, the practice location of the applicant for a medical examination and treatment practice certificate is not required to be in the local area that person applies for a certificate.

Therefore, in case you are a bachelor of examination, you only need to meet the above conditions and have 09 months of practice at a medical examination and treatment facility, then when practicing at Bac Ninh province general hospital, you will complete the internship. You can apply for a medical practice certificate at the Hanoi Department of Health in Vietnam.

If I practice at a clinic for 12 months, will I be granted a medical practice certificate in Vietnam?

I currently want to apply for a medical examination and treatment practice certificate for a physician. But now I have had 12 months of practice at the clinic. So is there enough practice time as prescribed?

According to Article 24 of the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2009, it stipulates certification of the practice duration:

1. Before obtaining a medical practice certificate, holders of professional diplomas in health granted or recognized in Vietnam must practice at the following medical examination and treatment establishments for:

a/ 18 months at hospitals or research institutes with patient beds (below referred to as hospitals), for medical doctors:

b/ 12 months at hospitals, for assistant doctors:

c/ 9 months at hospitals with obstetrics wards or obstetrics clinics, for midwives:

d/ 9 months at medical examination and treatment establishments, for nurses and technicians.

2. Heads of medical examination and treatment establishments shall certify in writing the practice duration and professional capacity and ethics for practitioners at their establishments.

Based on the above regulations, before being granted a medical practice certificate, physicians must undergo a 12-month practice period at the hospital. Therefore, your practice time at the clinic is not enough to be granted a medical examination and treatment practice certificate in Vietnam.
