"In the medical profession, doctors need to keep in mind six things: honesty, lifelong learning, maintaining and spreading medical ethics, proficiency in foreign languages and technology, actively training physically and mentally, and being responsible to the community."
Those were the shares of Professor Le Ngoc Thanh, Principal of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU - UMP) with students and young doctors at the closing ceremony of the 2024 - 2025 school year and the awarding of diplomas to 349 full-time university students, held on July 30.

At the ceremony, the school also awarded diplomas to 35 masters and 2 resident physicians of the first course, specializing in oncology and surgery.
Talking about the reason why honesty is the first requirement for doctors, Professor Thanh once shared: "Just one instance of dishonesty can cause unpredictable consequences, especially for surgeons. Because with patients, doctors must regularly monitor their health before and after surgery. If they have not seen or closely monitored the patient but still report to the doctor that they have seen or monitored, then the patient may die without the doctor knowing."
The VNU President also believes that the medical profession requires lifelong learning. And today, doctors must also be good at foreign languages, apply information technology, and at the same time, train their bodies and nurture their souls.
Master's training for foreign students
Professor Le Ngoc Thanh added that at VNU, lecturers are also required to have foreign language skills, and there are regulations on teaching hours in English.
The school has also diversified its training programs, and is also an ecosystem that helps doctors learn throughout their lives. VNU has expanded international cooperation in training high-quality human resources, including cooperation with the University of Medicine and Pharmacy and the Paris Public Hospital System (AP-HP). AP-HP, with 38 public hospitals, 6 complexes and nearly 100,000 employees, welcomes about 8 million patients each year, and is not only the largest network in France but also the largest in Europe. There have been excellent students from VNU who have studied at AP-HP.
VNU has also officially launched an additional master's program in English for foreign students from 2025, with 4 training programs including: internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, radiology and nuclear medicine. The program is built according to international accreditation standards and taught entirely in English.
Currently, VNU has cooperated in connecting practice with a network of nearly 30 central and Hanoi hospitals, which are practice facilities that ensure the quality of clinical practice for students and graduate students.
