General Medicine students practice clinical practice at the hospital

This is a grade I city-level general hospital, with a scale of nearly 1,000 beds and a history of nearly 100 years.

After studying theory and practicing on models at school, Dai Nam University Medical students officially go to clinical training at the hospital.

Hospital practice helps medical students master professional skills according to the Hospital-School model. They learn from real-life situations, have the opportunity to approach rare diseases, seasonal diseases and are supervised by experienced lecturers...

While medical university students only study clinical in the morning at the hospital, have very little time to interact with patients and therefore do not have many opportunities to practice clinical skills, medical students of Dai Nam University are "stationed" at hospitals, attend clinical all day and work at night like a real doctor...

Clearly identifying the importance of hospital practice for medical students of Dai Nam University, Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Duc Hanh - Head of the Faculty of Medicine and representatives of teachers in the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Nursing directly led students to the facility.

Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Duc Hanh - Dean of the Faculty of Medicine on behalf of the School "entrusted" the students.

Director of Ha Dong General Hospital, BSCK II Dao Thien Tien, directly welcomed, met and introduced the hospital, the internship regulations and the requirements that students need to achieve after completing the Basic Nursing practice period at the hospital. At the same time, he affirmed: "As the school's affiliated practice hospital, Ha Dong General Hospital will create the most favorable conditions for Dai Nam University Medical students to study and practice, ensuring that after completing the clinical study period, Dai Nam University Medical students will achieve the requirements of the subject and have many useful practical career experiences..."

The excitement of future doctors DNU.

For medical students, practical experience is the most important.

All students are divided into 4 groups to rotate to the departments of Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, etc. After four weeks of practical training, medical students of Dai Nam University must complete a number of basic criteria according to the requirements of the Basic Nursing course, such as: Techniques for measuring vital signs, intradermal injection, skin prick test, subcutaneous injection, superficial intramuscular injection, deep intramuscular injection, intravenous injection, intravenous infusion, blood transfusion, respiratory and circulatory arrest, sputum suction, oxygen for patients, changing bandages - removing stitches, enema, catheterization, feeding patients by tube, etc.

Students are divided into small groups and have hospital staff directly instructing them.

Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Duc Hanh said: “These are the first, basic techniques and procedures of Nursing; an important premise for medical students to practice pathology at the hospital. Experiencing the real working environment at the hospital, being in contact with real people and real work will help them improve their knowledge, confidently continue their learning journey to become good doctors…”

What do students say?

Tran Thi Hai Yen - YDK class 14-02 shared: "Going to the hospital" for the first time was a very emotional experience for me. First was the excitement because this was the first time I wore a white blouse and entered the hospital gate, directly interacting with patients and departments - the working environment that will be with us in the future. Besides, there was a bit of anxiety because although I had learned theory and practiced proficiently on the model at school, when integrating into the real environment of the hospital, standing in front of real patients, no one could avoid being bewildered. However, when I arrived at the hospital with the thoughtful arrangements of the School and the enthusiastic reception and guidance of the hospital, I clearly felt that in addition to the high expertise of the teachers, there was also the dedication, enthusiasm, and willingness to instruct and correct mistakes for us students..."

During the practical training, students are instructed and perform techniques/procedures directly on real patients.

Sharing her goals for the 4 weeks of clinical training at the hospital, Hai Yen said: “Through this clinical internship, I hope to be able to get acquainted with the orderly and precise hospital environment as well as know how to interact and work with patients. In addition, I want to hone my skills in practicing the subject’s procedures correctly, overcoming the initial confusion to become more confident and proficient in the operations. Thereby, I can gain more experience for myself, serving my future studies and work…”

Can Khanh Linh - YDK class 14-01 shared: "I will try my best to acquire more new clinical knowledge, build a solid foundation to study clinical pathology practice in the future, and be confident on the path of learning to become a good doctor..."

“Only by going to the hospital clinic can I know where my knowledge is and understand the responsibility of a doctor, thereby having the consciousness to strive in studying. I personally hope that during the 4 weeks of practice at the hospital, I will be able to absorb all the knowledge that the teachers have taught, and apply it to practice in the most standard way… ” Nguyen Huy Lam – YDK class 14-02 expressed.
