Le Trung Hieu - a student of class YDK 14.02 shared: "In the first days, I was not used to it so I felt a bit exhausted when having to work at high intensity and on night shifts. My shy nature also made it difficult for me to communicate with patients and doctors. But those were just the first days. Now I have overcome my comfort zone, confidently learning and examining patients under the guidance of doctors."

Do Luu Ly – a student of class YDK 14.02 expressed: “The first time I met patients as an intern made me a bit nervous. After a while of getting used to it, I adapted to the hospital environment in terms of working style, procedures and pace of life. I am no longer afraid of meetings, going to the ward or night shifts…”

Every day "going to the hospital" is a happy and energetic day for future doctors of DNU.

Nguyen Ho Bao Tran said: “When I set foot in the hospital, directly contacting and examining patients, I understood how important what I learned in the classroom is and how it is applied in practice. Why are the role and medical ethics of doctors so highly valued by society?”

Not only that, the patients at the Department also enthusiastically supported us, helping us to complete our learning goals.”

In addition, the leadership and lecturers of the Faculty of Medicine of Dai Nam University always closely accompany students throughout the internship process.

That helps us to be more confident when going to clinical training. I can proudly say that medical students of Dai Nam University are not inferior to anyone”.

“Hopefully, the KPI of 12 medical records in 12 weeks of internship will help us grasp 12 aspects of diseases; along with that, the passion for the profession will help us find the right methods and approaches to develop ourselves and go further in the profession” , Minh Nguyet - a student of YDK class 14.01 expressed.

Follow the doctors to the room every day to grasp the patient's condition.

Do Luu Ly shared: “Clinical work helps me understand that learning must go hand in hand with practice. You can’t just talk about theory, especially in the medical field because this is the field of saving people. Realizing that, I have to try harder to improve and train myself to become a good doctor, who can help those lying on the hospital bed recover soon and return home to their loved ones.”

Duong Truong An confided: “The ancients have a saying: “A day of travel teaches a basketful of knowledge”. And this internship lasts 3 months, which means I will have a “basketful of knowledge”. This is truly an opportunity, a valuable asset for a medical student like me”.
