Conquer the journey to become a Resident Physician in the field of Medicine

Resident Doctor - A dream for medical students

Resident Physician (BSNT) is always the goal pursued by medical students who wish to further develop in the process of studying and researching medicine. The BSNT quota in each specialty is often very limited and comes with conditions regarding age, academic ranking as well as university academic achievements.

In particular, each medical student can only take the BSNT exam once in their life. This means that if they fail the exam, they will not have another chance to take it again.

Orientation for Resident Physicians in University Lecture Hall

Building a training program based on the content of the Ministry of Education and Training and partly following the curriculum of the Faculty of Medicine - University of Illinois, Chicago, USA, Tan Tao University (TTU) has oriented medical students to become doctors right from the first years.

A special highlight at TTU Medical School in the orientation of training students to become medical doctors in the United States is the inclusion of the USMLE subject in the curriculum so that students have a complete foundation.
