K18 valedictorian of Dai Nam University

Despite the opportunity to be admitted to top medical schools, Pham Vu Bao Ngoc – valedictorian of Dai Nam University's Department of Medicine in 2024 – still decided to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor at Dai Nam University (DNU) for four key qualities: quality facilities, quality training, quality faculty, and quality practical training - internship opportunities.

Bao Ngoc will begin her university journey with a scholarship worth 30 million VND, a well-deserved reward for her hard work and trust in DNU.

A Decision Driven by Heart and Vision

Born into a family with a father who is a doctor, Bao Ngoc has nurtured the dream of wearing the white coat and becoming a doctor who saves lives since her childhood. 

For Ngoc, choosing a university is not just about finding a place to study but about choosing a long-term and sustainable path for the future.

While her peers were drawn to the prestige of top public universities and still influenced by the traditional mindset favoring public institutions, Bao Ngoc carefully researched, deliberated, and ultimately chose Dai Nam University due to four key factors: modern facilities, a quality curriculum, a renowned faculty, and ample opportunities for hands-on experience.

A Dynamic, Modern Learning Environment for DNU’s Medical Students

Dai Nam University’s Faculty of Medicine boasts a team of Professors, Associate Professors, People’s Doctors, Specialist Level I Doctor, and Specialist level II Doctors who are highly professional and dedicated to students.

“I believe that Dai Nam University is not just a place to study but also an environment that helps me comprehensively develop my knowledge, skills, and critical thinking. It is the best place for me to start the journey of realizing my dream,” Bao Ngoc shared.

Placing full trust and conquering the pinnacle of wisdom with Dai Nam University

With an outstanding academic record over 12 years, a total admission score of 28.9, and an IELTS score of 7.5, Bao Ngoc has proven her exceptional capabilities. 

Despite having the possibility of being admitted to top medical universities, she decided to commit to Dai Nam University.

However, her decision was not only based on academic achievements. Bao Ngoc understands that a solid learning foundation is necessary to turn her dream into reality. With modern facilities, a green - clean - beautiful learning environment, and advanced practical training systems, DNU has convinced Bao Ngoc to place her trust here.

The practical training system is likened to a "miniature hospital" at the heart of DNU.

Not stopping at short-term goals, Bao Ngoc has mapped out a long-term plan. In the immediate future, her goal is to secure a scholarship for all six years of study, graduate with Honors, and then pursue further education abroad and participate in global medical research projects.

For Ngoc, Dai Nam Univeristy is not just the starting point, but a solid launchpad for her to reach further and make her dream of becoming a global doctor a reality.

Medical students at DNU have the opportunity for clinical practice at the university’s network of top affiliated  hospitals, such as: Bach Mai Hospital, VietDuc Hospital, Viet Nam National Children's Hospital, National Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Hospital, Saint Paul Hospital, Hanoi Dermatology Hospital, Ha Dong General Hospital… Students engage in “hands-on” practice and stay at the hospital 24/7 like real doctors.

“I know that the road ahead will still have many challenges, but I believe that, with my own efforts, confidence and determination, along with the companionship of the university, lecturers who are good professors and doctors, and the opportunity for internships at major hospitals in Hanoi, I will definitely overcome all obstacles and prove my worth,” Bao Ngoc affirmed.

We wish for Bao Ngoc to continue maintaining that spirit, conquer all challenges and leave a memorable mark during her study journey at Dai Nam University.
