From Geography student to Pediatric resident

In grade 12, Hai An - then a Geography student at Chu Van An High School for the Gifted ( Hanoi ) - decided to change the exam group to Math - Chemistry - Biology.

“I switched to studying Natural Sciences to prepare for the medical entrance exam,” Hai An recalls, “this choice came after I listened to my family’s opinions and wanted to challenge myself.”

Becoming a new student at the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine, for the next 6 years, she was both diligent and assiduous in studying her major and actively participating in extracurricular activities to gain experience.

In addition to extracurricular activities, Hai An also actively participates in scientific research and has achieved many commendable achievements (Photo: Character provided).

Hai An’s schedule is packed with school and hospital schedules. She said: “I start my mornings with school classes, and in the evenings I have shifts and study at the hospitals. There are days when I have to work all night and then take exams the next morning, which is very normal.”

As she was about to finish her years of medical and clinical studies, Hai An set herself a more difficult task: studying for the Pediatric Residency Program - the most competitive major at VinUni. She immediately began her days of studying for the residency exam and preparing for graduation at the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine.

“I started studying for the exam in March, which might seem quite late for others,” she said. “But just like when I was studying for my university entrance exam, this was an opportunity for me to push my limits.”

In the first round, Hai An had to overcome many strong competitors with impressive records and academic achievements and write 3 essays entirely in English. In the second round, the specialized knowledge test consisted of 160 questions within 4 hours.

“Like a doctor having to examine 160 patients, I have more than a minute to diagnose and find a treatment for each one,” she recalled the difficult challenge.

In the final round of interviews, Hai An scored well with the Director of the English training program and the teachers, who were Vietnamese medical specialists.

With her own efforts, Hai An became one of the 8 Pediatric Resident Doctors at VinUni University this year with a 95% scholarship. At the same time, at the end of August, the Gen Z girl also excellently graduated from the program at the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine.

What about Gen Z in the medical profession?

“Many people say that Gen Z lacks seriousness and perseverance, but I think that no matter Gen Z or any generation, once they decide to pursue a career in medicine, they need to devote themselves to treating and saving people,” the young girl said.

Like many other medical students, Hai An also studied and worked at many hospitals in Hanoi, but the place that left her with the most memories was her fourth-year internship at Viet Duc Hospital.

“I used to be afraid of blood. But when I studied and observed surgeons operating, I found it strangely attractive. This stimulated my curiosity and passion for medicine,” Hai An shared, “there were even times when I asked to change shifts to have more surgical observation sessions to learn more about new cases.”

Although difficult, medical knowledge always makes Hai An feel interested and determined to conquer (Photo: Khanh Vi).

For Hai An, the biggest “benefit” she has gained after 6 years of studying medicine is the knowledge of pathology that helps her take care of and improve the health of herself and her family and loved ones. Although the past journey has been difficult and there are many challenges ahead, she is still ready and determined to pursue the path she has chosen.

Hai An shared that although she majored in general medicine, this Gen Z girl did not take lightly the acquisition of knowledge about traditional medicine. “Although the two medical systems are different, if there is understanding, research and combination, it will still bring good treatment results for patients,” she said.

“Many young people today still love traditional medicine. I myself am always proud to be a medical practitioner. As a young person, I am more aware that I need to devote more passion and dedication to the country's medical field,” Hai An affirmed.
