The new resident doctor wearing a "soldier's shirt" chants the discipline, making a strong impression

The shouting of the name to choose the 2025 resident doctor major at Hanoi Medical University attracted attention, especially the moment when the new doctor wearing a strong military uniform chose Cardiology that impressed the public.

The person mentioned is a young doctor Nguyen Viet Hoan, bearing the number 130. He chose Cardiology – a notoriously difficult specialty, requiring deep knowledge and the ability to withstand great pressure. In fact, Cardiology is not in the group of majors that many candidates prioritize to choose due to its harsh nature, but Hoan is still determined to pursue this path.

On his personal page, new doctor Nguyen Viet Hoan revealed that he admired the image of a soldier holding a firm grip on a weapon to protect the Fatherland. Therefore, before entering the journey of a resident doctor, he registered to participate in a 4-month Reserve Officer training course, from September to December 2025.

According to shared, the time in the military environment not only helped him strengthen his discipline, but also trained the bravery of a person who is both a doctor and a soldier. "This is not a temporary experience to try, nor is it a turning point to change career direction. For me, it's part of the journey of self-improvement. I want to become a doctor who is both good at my profession and has a consistent spirit, always putting the interests of the people and the country first," Viet Hoan emphasized.

The moment he was in a soldier's shirt chanting the specialty of Cardiology was quickly spread strongly, becoming a highlight in the announcement of the selection of resident doctors this year.

The Resident Physician is a special training program, exclusively for medical students who have just graduated. This is a model similar to "resident doctors" in many developed countries, where young doctors both study and practice in a hospital environment, are rigorously trained to become the core force in terms of expertise.

Due to its important nature, the annual quota for the resident doctor exam is very limited, especially for key specialties such as Cardiology, Surgery, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, etc. Therefore, the competition rate is always high, many good candidates can still fail. This exam is not only an intellectual challenge but also a test of the bravery, perseverance and dedication of each young doctor.

Currently, there are 13 universities in the country participating in the training of resident doctors, of which Hanoi Medical University is the school with the longest history. This is also a place that always leads in training quality, highly appreciated by the Ministry of Health.

The residency program is considered an inevitable step to train a team of good doctors, not only knowledgeable in theory but also proficient in practical skills. After completion, resident doctors are often key players in central-level hospitals, becoming the mainstay of the health system.

Nguyen Viet Hoan's story reflects the new spirit of the young Vietnamese doctors: not afraid of difficulties, willing to choose the path that few people take to contribute to the country's medicine. The image of a new doctor wearing a military uniform and boldly choosing Cardiology not only made a mark at the announcement ceremony of the specialty but also inspired many young people who are pursuing medicine.

In the context that Vietnam's health system is increasingly in need of human resources with a sense of responsibility, Hoan's decision shows great significance. Willing to devote wisdom and bravery to serve the people and the country.
