(Dan Tri) - In addition to being a doctor, Do Trung Kien is also a million-view Tiktoker, specializing in teaching specialized English to medical staff. The young man also has a high income thanks to his job as a cabin interpreter.
Wearing a white blouse, he went on livestream "What will a cabin translation session of Dr. Kien be like?", Mr. Do Trung Kien (27 years old, a lecturer and doctor in Hanoi ) opened the clip with an extremely confident voice, making viewers extremely curious. With just a clip talking about the "unrelated" job he is doing, Kien has attracted more than 1.2 million views.

On his channel, Dr. Kien regularly posts clips sharing about a working day, medical knowledge, especially specialized English to viewers. With a friendly personality and attractive voice, Dr. Kien's channel now has more than 500,000 followers on social networking platforms. Dr. Kien shared that he has been a content creator and cabin interpreter for more than 4 years. This job not only gives him a stable source of income, but also gives Dr. Kien the opportunity to pursue his passion for spreading knowledge to the community with the same passion. Possessing an IELTS score of 8.0 and graduating with the second highest score in the general medicine major at the Military Medical Academy (Hanoi), in 2020, Do Trung Kien (27 years old) continued to pass the residency exam and had the opportunity to work at a famous hospital.

Born and raised in a family with a tradition of working in the medical field, Kien spent many years striving to become a good doctor, able to impart knowledge to those around him. However, during his time working at the hospital, the young man was always concerned about his true passion, which was teaching and writing books. Therefore, the doctor gathered all his courage, spoke to his parents, and then changed direction to open a medical English teaching center. Along with that, he spent time writing and publishing 2 books, aiming to share knowledge with medical staff in Vietnam. Wishing to share with the community more widely, Dr. Kien came up with the idea of putting on a white coat to become a content creator. On Kien's channel, he not only shares content about knowledge and skills as a medical staff, but also guides specialized English words for viewers.
In addition to spreading on his Tiktok channel, Dr. Kien also regularly participates in programs to contribute knowledge to the community (Photo: Character provided).
"At first, the videos I made did not attract many views. I deleted 4 channels to create a new channel with a change in direction. Once, I also briefly thought about giving up because this did not bring any profit to me. But suddenly I received a message from a friend saying that he had passed the interview round in specialized English at a large private hospital, thanks to watching my videos. At that time, I seemed to have more motivation to continue the journey of spreading knowledge," Kien confided. Moreover, Dr. Kien said that English is an important skill for many medical staff, especially in the current era of global integration. "Brain strain" at the cabin epidemic room Having had the opportunity to study and live in the US and Singapore, Kien realized that the capacity and intelligence of Vietnamese doctors and nurses are not inferior to their colleagues in developed countries. However, the biggest barrier is the lack of a solid enough English foundation to access world knowledge. Therefore, this is also the motivation for the young man to create more content on social networks, to support colleagues in developing their careers.

Sharing about the cabin interpretation job, the multi-talented 9X doctor said that this is a difficult job, and the work activities are sometimes even more "brain-tightening" than when he worked at the hospital. "Cabin interpretation, also known as simultaneous interpretation at live events, requires high concentration to be able to listen, process and translate all complex information at the same time. Cabin interpretation is very difficult because this job requires the interpreter to be fluent in both languages, use them flexibly and have the skills to stay calm, organize information and handle situations well. If unfortunately stuck on a word or phrase, the cabin interpreter will feel that moment of hesitation seems endless," Dr. Kien confided that any mistake by the interpreter can potentially cause misunderstandings or disrupt communication between important guests at the event. Since graduating from university, he has taken on a number of interpreting jobs, including cabin interpreting, so he has accumulated a lot of memorable experiences. The male doctor said that before the event took place, he had to carefully prepare and research knowledge and speeches on the same topic online. After that, he formed the habit of interpreting that content out loud to simulate real-life situations, and then practiced many times. According to Dr. Kien, because of the strict requirements, this profession can bring a high income. Normally, the salary for each cabin interpreter ranges from 1 to 3 million VND/hour, depending on the content and nature of the event. "One of the memorable memories of working as an interpreter happened at a medical conference at the end of 2023. While the conference was taking place, a foreign doctor in the audience suddenly collapsed. At that time, everyone in the hall was confused because no one could communicate and understand all the medical symptoms that the doctor was talking about. The 9X doctor hopes to improve foreign language skills for his colleagues who are medical staff (Photo: Character provided). At that time, I used all the specialized knowledge I had learned, combined with my English skills, so I was lucky to coordinate with the medical staff and give first aid to that guest in time," Dr. Kien confided. At that moment, he realized that communication skills are also extremely important in the process of saving lives of a doctor. The 9X male doctor said that in the near future, he will continue to spread knowledge on social networks for medical staff who share the same passion, and at the same time publish the 3rd book at the end of 2024 with content on English grammar, to spread English knowledge.
