3 pieces of advice from the Principal of Hanoi Medical University to resident doctors that caused a stir

Sharing at the "announcing names to choose majors" ceremony that has attracted the attention of the online community in recent days, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Tu, Principal of Hanoi Medical University, said that do not think that after passing the residency, choosing the major you like, you only need to study and work moderately to graduate with a residency degree. That is not true to the meaning of residency.

"The 3-year residency is a harsh training environment, so you must prepare mentally and with determination," the Principal of Hanoi Medical University advised.

The advice of the Principal of Hanoi Medical University to resident doctors causes a stir (Clip: School).

According to the Principal of Hanoi Medical University, choosing a career today, sometimes people choose the career but sometimes the career chooses people.

In the past, only the top student in the boarding school was allowed to choose a major. From the second person onwards, they had to accept a major according to the assignment.

Many people do not get to choose their major, but this team of professors and doctors are still successful, so you will also be successful like them because the profession really chose you.

The second thing to convey to you, the Principal of Hanoi Medical University believes that the love of the person who chooses first, is not necessarily the value of the person who chooses later. Your value is what you build it with love later.

Third, there is no easy residency. “If you want to become a good and famous doctor or specialist, all residency programs require the same amount of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. If you choose the easy option, you will not become a good specialist,” Professor Tu said.

The Principal of Hanoi Medical University believes that the upcoming 3-year residency period for each new doctor will be the most difficult period, much more difficult than when they were students.

Students only have to worry about studying and taking exams, while boarders have to both study and work, and at the same time have to meet many requirements from teachers, faculty, hospital and school.

Over the past 50 years, Hanoi Medical University has trained more than 5,000 resident physicians. After 2015, the rate of resident physicians working in provincial, city and non-public hospitals increased to about 35%.

To apply for residency, candidates must be no older than 27 years old, be in good health, have a university degree in a field corresponding to the major they are applying for, and have a good grade or higher;

During university years, no disciplinary action from warning or above, no suspension of studies (except for health reasons).
