What Bệnh viện Đại học Y Dược TPHCM - Cơ sở 3 does

The Department of Traditional Medicine (Khoa Y học cổ truyền) is an academic unit within the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City (UMP), a public Vietnamese university operating under the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health. The department delivers comprehensive traditional medicine education and training, spanning undergraduate, postgraduate (residency, master's, doctoral), and continuing medical education programs in acupuncture, cupping, auricular therapy, herbal medicine, massage-acupressure, and integrated East-West medicine. Its core operations are anchored at 221B Hoàng Văn Thụ, Phú Nhuận Ward, with clinical training at Bệnh viện Đại học Y Dược TPHCM – Cơ sở 3 (201B Nguyễn Chí Thanh, Quận 5) and partner hospitals including Bệnh viện Y học cổ truyền TP.HCM and Bệnh viện Phục hồi chức năng 1A.

The department generates revenue through publicly disclosed training course fees (e.g., 5,000,000 VND for acupressure community healthcare courses, 2,000,000 VND for cupping therapy) and conference/CME registration fees (300,000–600,000 VND per participant), supplemented by state budget allocations. It operates a hybrid go-to-market model: direct enrollment for domestic CME via university portals (chpthcm.ump.edu.vn, elearning.ump.edu.vn), partner-channel recruitment for international student exchanges (SIT for US students, bilateral MoUs with Hubei University of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University Taiwan, University of Tsukuba, Kyung Hee, Chulalongkorn, and others), and large-scale annual international conferences (500+ participants, 21 editions) as demand-generation and brand-building assets. Notable research output includes 42 international and 80 domestic journal articles in 2023, technology transfer to 6+ provincial Traditional Medicine Hospitals across Southern Vietnam, and AUN-QA accreditation in progress.
