What Trường Cao Đẳng Y Khoa Phạm Ngọc Thạch does

Trường Cao Đẳng Y Khoa Phạm Ngọc Thạch (Pham Ngoc Thach Medical College, school code CBK) is a private vocational educational institution founded on June 19, 2006 under Decision No. 3015/QĐ-BGD&ĐT of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, with an operating license reissued by the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs in July 2018. The school operates from its main campus at 127/3-5 Hoàng Hoa Thám, Tân Bình District, Ho Chi Minh City, with an additional branch in Hanoi (Ngọc Hồi Industrial Zone, Thanh Trì District), and delivers a portfolio of seven programs: four associate-degree (Cao đẳng) tracks in General Medicine (Y sĩ Đa khoa, 100 credits), Pharmacy (Dược, 99 credits), Nursing (Điều dưỡng, 99 credits), and Rehabilitation Techniques (Kỹ thuật Phục hồi Chức năng, 99 credits); one intermediate diploma (Trung cấp) in Traditional Vietnamese Medicine (63 credits); and two articulation/second-degree upgrade tracks (Liên thông Cao đẳng Dược and Văn bằng 2 Cao đẳng Dược). The underlying operating model is a "Hospital-School" (Bệnh viện – Trường học) framework in which more than 70% of curriculum hours are delivered as hands-on clinical practice at approximately 550 contracted hospitals and pharmacies, including Bệnh viện 1A, Bệnh viện Thủ Đức, Bệnh viện 30/4 Bộ Công An, and Bệnh viện Quân Y 175.

The institution has no proprietary digital platform, no AI/ML systems, and no app-based delivery layer — programs are delivered exclusively in person (chính quy) on its two campuses. Revenue is generated solely from tuition, charged as a subscription-style recurring fee of 1,500,000 VND/month for Cao đẳng tracks and 1,400,000 VND/month for the Trung cấp track, collected in 5-month installments per semester, with a 30% discount offered to THPT graduates who enroll before July 31, 2025. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective students apply online via the school website, in person at the admissions office, or by mail, and are recruited through a multi-channel mix including Facebook, YouTube, Zalo, Twitter, hotlines (0899/0969 955 990), printed registration forms, and alumni referrals. The student body is dominated by high school graduates pursuing vocational healthcare credentials, with the school claiming 96% post-graduation employment and a 40% international placement rate (predominantly Germany and Japan). The school is led by Chairman TS. Bùi Văn Tự (also Chairman of T&G Group) and Principal PGS. TS Phạm Thị Lý, supported by two Vice Principals (ThS. Nguyễn Thị Nhân and Nguyễn Thành Quân). The institution is privately held, with no disclosed venture, private equity, or institutional investment.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Broad incumbents

• Trường Đại học Y Hà Nội: One of Vietnam's oldest and most prestigious medical universities, based in Hanoi. Comparable as a healthcare workforce training institution with overlapping disciplines (medicine, pharmacy, nursing, traditional medicine), and a relevant peer given the subject's Hanoi branch campus targeting articulation programs in the same city.
• Trường Đại học Y Dược TP. Hồ Chí Minh: Major public medical university in HCMC offering full medical, pharmacy, nursing, and public health degrees at university level. Comparable as a healthcare training institution serving the same HCMC catchment, but with broader scope (full MD programs) and stronger brand recognition—directly competing for top-tier students while Phạm Ngọc Thạch targets the Cao đẳng segment.

Regional players

• Trường Cao đẳng Y tế Hà Nội: Public healthcare vocational college in Hanoi offering Cao đẳng and Trung cấp programs in nursing, pharmacy, and medical technology. Comparable as a healthcare vocational college with similar program structure and government-aligned curriculum, primarily serving the Hanoi market where Phạm Ngọc Thạch also operates its Hanoi branch.
• Trường Đại học Y Dược Cần Thơ: Regional medical university in the Mekong Delta offering medical, pharmacy, and nursing programs. Comparable as a healthcare training institution targeting the same healthcare workforce gap, but operating in a different geographic region—relevant for understanding the broader Vietnamese market for healthcare education.

Direct peers

• Học viện Y Dược học Cổ truyền Việt Nam: Vietnam's national academy for traditional medicine, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Traditional Medicine (Y học cổ truyền). Directly comparable as both institutions train healthcare professionals including Traditional Medicine practitioners, with overlapping curriculum and competing for students interested in TCM-adjacent careers in Vietnam.
