Abstract
As a result of increasing societal demands and economic development, the number of medical schools in Vietnam has increased significantly over the past decade. In order to ensure physician competency, it is imperative that medical training meets a minimal threshold before entering clinical practice. The prospects of the National Medical Licensing Exam (NMLE) have been discussed extensively and are expected to be instrumental in influencing curriculum reform, thus enhancing the quality of medical education. This paper discusses briefly why NMLE is necessary for Vietnam, what should be considered when establishing it, who could be the responsible organization, and how good practices can be learned and used as personal recommendations for educators and policymakers.
