Which major did the 20 new resident doctors with the highest scores at Hanoi Medical University choose?

The Obstetrics and Gynecology major at Hanoi Medical University only accepted 13 people, but by the time the candidate with the 33rd highest score turned up, the quota for this major was full.

Residency is considered the most competitive exam at Hanoi Medical University, because each student of Medicine, Traditional Medicine, and Dentistry can only participate once in their life, right in the year they graduate from university.

This year, the residency exam was the largest yet, with nearly 1,000 candidates taking part. This was also the first class to graduate from the Comprehensive Medical Innovation Program.

After knowing the scores, the candidates with the highest scores will be selected first in their majors, in turn until the quota is full. Candidates with lower scores will no longer have the opportunity to choose a major when the quota is full.

This year, the residency training program of Hanoi Medical University enrolls 426 students for 38 majors.

Among the top 20 candidates in this year’s residency exam, 7 chose Obstetrics and Gynecology. The top scorer of the exam, Vu Ngoc Duy (born in 2001), also chose this major.

Following behind is Plastic Surgery with 4 people choosing it. Obstetrics and Gynecology and Plastic Surgery are also two majors that have been "sold out" right from the first rounds of candidates.

Other majors chosen by the top 20 candidates include: Diagnostic Imaging, Oncology, Anesthesia and Resuscitation, Pediatrics, and Cardiology.

According to the procedure, each candidate is called in order of exam results and has 30 seconds to shout out their major preferences.

This year, the residency training program of Hanoi Medical University enrolls 426 students for 38 majors, of which 402 are for Hanoi Medical University; 13 are for Thanh Hoa Branch; 6 are for Lao Cai Department of Health ; 5 are for Thai Nguyen Central Hospital.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Tu, Principal of Hanoi Medical University, said that this year's residency exam was organized objectively, closely assessing candidates' abilities thanks to the use of a completely new question bank of more than 2,000 questions.

Mr. Tu also emphasized that choosing a major is not only “choosing a career” but also “a career choosing a person”. Success will belong to those who are persistent, dedicated and committed to the profession.

“New resident doctors should prepare their determination and courage to enter 3 years of rigorous but also extremely valuable training to mature and assert themselves,” Professor Nguyen Huu Tu advised new resident doctors on the day of choosing their residency specialty in 2025.

The 10X guy is the valedictorian of the residency exam of Hanoi Medical University . Vu Ngoc Duy, a former student majoring in Mathematics at Vinh Phuc High School for the Gifted, has just become the valedictorian of the 2025 residency exam of Hanoi Medical University.
