My university journey

Today is my university graduation day.

I was a member of the first cohort of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy at the University of Engineering and Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam.

I graduated with a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree with Distinction, ranked 10th out of 50 students in my class. I also received a Certificate of Merit from the Dean of the Faculty.

  • Nguyen Huu Thang

  • Nguyen Viet Dung

  • Bui Truong Minh Duc

  • Nguyen Anh Duc

  • Le Thi Hoe

While many of my classmates continued their clinical training, I moved to South Korea to pursue a master’s degree at Chonnam National University. My academic advisor was Professor Jung-Joon Min.
