For the first time, Hanoi National University has 8 excellent medical students graduating
On July 30, the University of Medicine and Pharmacy - Vietnam National University, Hanoi held a graduation ceremony for more than 349 full-time university students and 37 masters and resident doctors.
113 students graduated with honors or higher (accounting for 33%), of which 8 students achieved excellent grades (one in Medicine, Medical Imaging Technology, 6 in Dentistry).
According to Professor, Doctor, People's Physician Le Ngoc Thanh, Principal of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, this year's graduates and students are all those who have studied during the most severe period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the 2020-2022 years, when the epidemic covered the whole country, students had to adapt to the form of prolonged online learning, lacking practical conditions, especially in clinical requirements such as Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, etc.
This affects learning progress, learning quality and ability to complete practical requirements on time. However, with the efforts of the school and learners to adapt, the graduation rate has reached over 82%. The graduation rate of postgraduate students, including masters and resident doctors, is over 87%.
According to the school's leadership, this is a big step forward because before that, most medical students graduated at a good and good level, the rate of excellent results was very modest due to the strict training characteristics and comprehensive requirements.
Notably, this year, the first 3 students completed the resident doctor program, including 2 students with good grades and 34 master's students in 3 key majors (Gender, Dentistry, Dentistry - Maxillofacial) graduated.
Admissions to the University of Medicine and Pharmacy for 10 years increased 25 times
