Associate Professor Pham Anh Vu

I am a sociable man who always try to connect with the community. Before starting my current job at SOM, I had experienced some unacademic works in pharmaceutical company. I recognized that they were boring jobs because I couldn’t see any good opportunities for advencement. Finally, I found that education is the most suitable path in my life. Now I feel so blessed to become a member of my current school where there are a lot of chances, friendly students and helpful coworkers.
