Therefore, we aim to evaluate medicine and traditional medicine (TM) students’ perception of the professional attributes relating to QOC for improving inter-disciplined professionalism training that promotes QOC in Vietnam.Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried on 2039 students of 6 years at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City (HUMP) from the medical and TM faculty in March, 2021. The Vietnamese American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) questionnaire (2011) was used as the survey instrument. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to confirm the validity of the scale in TM students. Mean, Min–Max, standard deviation and sample paired t-test were performed for Likert scale. The one-way ANOVA was used for inferential statistics.Results: The CFA demonstrated the validity of the Vietnamese questionnaire in measuring 4 QOC-relating professional attributes, previously fou
