In the interaction with students, in response to the question: "What should we do outside of clinical hours to practice and improve our practical skills?", Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Trung Kien said: "An important thing that students need to do after each clinical session is to compare theory and practice, to see if there is any difference in the patient's symptoms in practice and theory... This will help students systematize and remember longer the knowledge they have learned and practiced."
