On October 8, 2025, Phan Chau Trinh University (PCTU) officially welcomed Mr. Choi Seong Jin, Director of LIFEin Company (South Korea), to discuss and exchange plans for organizing a cadaveric anatomy training program for undergraduate students specializing in Physical Therapy. This collaboration marks an important step not only in expanding international partnerships but also in affirming PCTU’s position in medical education, contributing to the enhancement of academic and practical knowledge for students both domestically and internationally.

International Cadaveric Anatomy Training Program

LIFEin is a prominent company in South Korea, collaborating with several top universities to develop and manage global education programs, particularly in the fields of healthcare, nursing, and medical sciences. According to Mr. Choi Seong Jin, one of LIFEin’s partner universities in South Korea has entrusted the company with organizing the “Cadaveric Anatomy Training Program” in Vietnam, which is scheduled for January 2026. The program is expected to involve over 50 students from South Korean universities majoring in Physical Therapy.

During their one-week stay at PCTU, students will have the opportunity to participate in 3-4 cadaveric dissection sessions, which will enhance their academic and clinical knowledge through hands-on anatomical training. This is a valuable opportunity for students to not only learn from theory but also develop practical skills in an international academic environment.

Partnership with PCTU: A Strong Foundation for International Medical Education

During the meeting, Mr. Choi expressed his interest in collaborating with PCTU, a prestigious institution in medicine and health sciences, equipped with modern facilities for teaching and practicing anatomy. After the meeting, the LIFEin delegation visited the cadaveric dissection room, functional areas within the Pre-Clinical Skills Simulation Hospital, and various practical training spaces at PCTU. Mr. Choi was impressed by PCTU’s advanced training facilities and highly valued the university’s human-centered educational approach. He expressed confidence that PCTU would provide an ideal learning environment for medical students, both from Vietnam and other countries.

Affirming PCTU’s Position in Medical Education

PCTU currently has 10 donated cadavers and over 30 voluntary pledges for cadaveric donation upon death, providing a solid foundation for organizing cadaveric anatomy training programs. The organization of this cadaveric anatomy program for international students at PCTU is expected to foster academic exchanges between Vietnam and South Korea, while also solidifying PCTU’s reputation for medical education, research, and practical training on the global education map.

This program also provides PCTU students with the opportunity to engage in academic exchanges, develop professional skills, and learn from advanced medical teaching methods from international partners. Through this, PCTU will not only enhance the quality of education but also establish itself as a prominent institution in the global medical education community.

Expanding International Learning Opportunities for Students

The partnership between PCTU and LIFEin also opens up many opportunities for international students, particularly from South Korea, to access high-quality education programs at PCTU. This is an important step in elevating PCTU’s medical education to a new level, connecting students, faculty, and experts from around the world, and further promoting the growth of medical education not only in Vietnam but globally.

This collaboration is also a clear demonstration of PCTU’s commitment to enhancing the quality of medical education, with a vision of becoming an internationally recognized medical education hub. Thanks to this partnership, PCTU students will have the chance to learn, engage, and experience the most modern medical training methods, helping to build a high-quality future medical workforce.
