No need to be in the Top 28 - 30 points, 22 points is completely enough to study well in General Medicine and become a good doctor.

That is the affirmation of Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Trung Kien - Vice Principal of University of Medicine and Pharmacy - VNU, Assistant to the Chairman of the Council of Dai Nam University on Medicine.

Intelligence is just a "necessary" condition

In recent years, many majors have recruited students with “sky-high” scores, causing conflicting public opinions. Medicine is one of them, with an extremely high standard score. This makes many people think: “You have to be in the top 28-30 points to apply and be able to pass and study Medicine”.

Dai Nam University is one of the few private universities trusted by the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Health to grant licenses to train in General Medicine.

Sharing his views on this issue, Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Trung Kien affirmed: “To study Medicine, candidates do not need to be in the Top 28 - 30 points. Candidates who score from 22 points are fully qualified to study Medicine if they possess the qualities and characteristics required of a doctor. Never give up your dream just because you are not in the Top 28 - 30 points…”

Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Trung Kien explained that the medical field is highly specialized, intelligence is only a “necessary” condition. The following important criteria are required for students to be “sufficient” to enter the medical field.

To train in Medicine, Dai Nam University has prepared the best training program, teaching staff, facilities - practice equipment, practice hospital system...

1, Thinking ability and diligence

The medical training program in Vietnam as well as other countries in the world is very "heavy" from general knowledge to specialized knowledge, requiring medical students to have the ability to think and be diligent to remember all that "huge" amount of knowledge.

Dai Nam University Medical students are trained systematically, intensively and professionally.

In fact, many medical students have very high entrance scores (28-30 points) but their university study results are "poor" because they only study hard for the university entrance exam, but after passing, they do not study hard in theory and practice, so they do not grasp the knowledge.

Nguyen Thi Minh Nguyet - a student of class YDK 14.01, Faculty of Medicine, Dai Nam University said: "No matter how smart you are, if you are not diligent, you will certainly find it difficult to keep up with the learning and practicing process of the medical industry. Because just a little carelessness can cause you to lose a huge amount of knowledge..."

Ensure proficiency in skills before going to clinical practice at hospitals.

2, Persistence, patience, hard work, endurance

While other professions only need 4-5 years, or even 3 years to graduate and integrate into the labor market, the medical profession needs 6 years to complete the training program and be awarded a General Practitioner degree; 18 months to study for a practice certificate to directly examine and treat patients and must study for life to ensure job requirements and career development.

In addition, doctors have to deal with hundreds of patients and their families every day. Each person has a different personality, not everyone is “easy to please”. Therefore, doctors are required to be patient and persistent with each patient.

“When holding a Doctor’s degree in hand, the path of learning and striving of a doctor has just begun. Postgraduate training programs, such as: Resident Doctor, Doctor CKI, CKII, Master, Doctor, Associate Professor, Professor... are the arduous learning steps that a doctor must conquer. Therefore, if you are not persistent, patient, hard-working, and willing to endure hardship, you will never be able to do the job and become a good doctor in the future…” Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Trung Kien affirmed.

Medical students of Dai Nam University are not afraid of difficulties and hardships, and know how to take advantage of every learning opportunity.

3, Quick and precise in every movement

Medicine is a profession of healing and saving people. Every diagnosis and every action has a decisive meaning to the life and life of a person. Therefore, doctors always have to be faster than others.

How many drug names, every single skill must be memorized by yourself. When going to work, absolutely do not ask questions but observe, pay attention, quickly take notes and then study more at home to come up with every single skill, accurately and quickly.

This is a skill you can absolutely practice, regardless of intelligence as long as you have enough passion and enthusiasm for the medical profession...

The medical profession not only requires intelligence but also diligence, quickness, and precision in every movement.

4, Honesty

Dishonesty can easily make doctors deceive patients, colleagues or even themselves. Lacking honesty, doctors can hide their mistakes and shortcomings from colleagues and patients, and not dare to take responsibility for technical errors. Lacking honesty, doctors can also "draw" symptoms and diseases to "scare" patients, as Hai Thuong Lan Ong said: "Seeing an easy symptom, lying is difficult, frowning, sticking out the tongue, scaring people to get more money. That is the crime of deception".

Deception in any situation, any job is criticized by society. But deception and dishonesty in the medical industry are much more dangerous and deserving of condemnation.

5, A kind heart and a brave spirit

Uncle Ho taught us: "A good doctor must be like a mother" . The great physician Hai Thuong Lan Ong Le Huu Trac once said: "Practicing medicine without compassion and helping others with a constant heart, without thinking deeply to find ways to save lives but only focusing on calculating profits and taking property to harm others is no different from bandits".

Therefore, to pursue a career in medicine, you must have a kind heart, loving others as you love yourself. If you do not know how to feel and share the pain, anxiety and burden that patients and their relatives have to bear, it is very difficult to become a good doctor.

In addition, doctors must be courageous and willing to take risks in their work. Without the courage of doctors, who would dare to "face" the pandemic, the risk of infection, and even death? If so, would they have enough expertise and skills to save hundreds, thousands of people? Without courageous doctors who are willing to sacrifice and forget their personal happiness to take care of patients, perhaps people would not have a peaceful and healthy life.

Don’t lose your dream just because you are not in the Top 28 – 30 points. Dai Nam University of Medicine welcomes students who are eager to study and train to become doctors with good medical ethics.

Studying medicine is so hard, but for centuries it has been “Medicine first, Pharmacy second”. Studying and becoming a doctor is the biggest dream of millions of students around the world.
