WELCOME

Welcome to the Vietnamese Physician Network of Northern California (VPNNC)!

Where Medicine Meets Community, Culture, and Connection.

Whether you are a seasoned attending, a resident navigating the trenches, or a medical student just starting out, you’ve found your local medical family.

The Vietnamese Physician Network of Northern California (VPNNC) is a professional and social hub dedicated to bringing together Vietnamese physicians across NorCal. Founded by Dr. Michael Quach, a local psychiatrist and former president of the Vietnamese Physician Association of Northern California, this network was born out of a simple, vital idea: we work incredibly hard, and we deserve a space to unwind, connect, and elevate one another.

We bridge the gap between rigorous professional excellence and the warm, vibrant camaraderie of our shared heritage. Think of us as your go-to community for everything from clinical networking and career mentorship to casual dinners, birthday parties, Christmas and Tet celebrations, poker nights, meaningful conversations, karaoke, and lively social mixers.

What We Do

• Professional Networking: Exchange ideas, build referral pipelines, and collaborate across specialties.

• Social Gatherings: Unwind at festive dinners, Lunar New Year celebrations, and casual mixers.

• Mentorship: Bridging generations of physicians to support the next wave of Vietnamese medical professionals.
