Nowadays, many jobs have conditions for participants to work in. The law requires employees to have a practicing certificate issued by the government in order to work in a variety of professions, including medical. In particular, the medical field has more than a type of practice certificate. So, in this article, LSX legal firm will answer the question: “Can you obtain 2 certificates of medical in Vietnam?”
Legal grounds
- Law on Pharmacy 2016
- Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2009
What is practice certificate?
A practicing certificate means a document issued by a competent state agency or a professional association to an individual who has sufficient professional qualifications and experience as prescribed by law to operate in a certain profession.
Not everyone can have a practicing certificate if they do not participate in training classes to improve their qualifications as prescribed.
After completing the training courses, individuals will be assessed and tested for their professional qualifications and experience and will only be granted a practicing certificate when meeting the conditions prescribed by law.
Therefore, a practicing certificate does not mean a professional certificate of the practitioner but considered a tool to monitor and evaluate the performance capacity and ethics of practitioners.
