The colorful performances at the beginning of the program were like a fresh welcome to encourage the teams and players. The introductions of each team was very interesting with cheerful and creative novelettes and videos. The contest with 4 sections: Start, Barrier crossing, Speed up, and Finish brought about a lot of excitement to viewers. The questions include general knowledge, good content and the clinical cases integrated in the questions posed a lot of challenges for the teams and players to be able to work out the best answer. Members of 3 teams performed bravely, confidently and were highly appreciated by the Consulting Committee.
The vibrant contest has gone to an end but it continues to affirm the prestigious and reputational position which could meet the aspiration of members of  Ho Chi Minh Youth Union, Vietnamese Students’ Association of TBUMP. The success of this 4^th contest helps to reach the goal of the school year. This is also a meaningful, realistic activity to welcome Vietnamese Teacher’s Day on November 20^th and 10^th anniversary of establishment of  Pharmacy Faculty of TBUMP.
