70 Years of Vietnamese Doctors' Day (February 27): Dai Nam University – Nurturing Skilled and Ethical Physicians

The fields of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing are long and demanding paths that require not only intelligence but also compassion and perseverance. Steady hands, a kind heart, and unwavering determination – these are the qualities that every medical professional must carry throughout their lifetime.On the morning of February 25, 2025, at Dai Nam University, the 70th anniversary of Vietnamese Doctors' Day (February 27, 1955 – February 27, 2025) was not only an event to honor medical professionals but also a powerful affirmation: DNU does not merely produce medical degree holders – it trains true physicians.

The 70th anniversary of Vietnamese Doctors' Day was not just an event to honor medical professionals but also a powerful affirmation: DNU does not merely produce medical degree holders – it trains true physicians.

The Flame of Responsibility – From One Generation to Another

A great doctor is not only defined by knowledge but also by dedication to each patient and a deep sense of responsibility for every life entrusted to them.

One of the most profound moments of the ceremony was when words of gratitude were sent to the teachers — those who have silently nurtured, inspired, and guided generations of students into the demanding yet noble medical profession.

That flame not only burns in lectures and practice sessions but also within each student’s heart. A flame that doesn’t just provide warmth, but burns strong enough to ignite determination, build resilience, and empower them to stand firm through long shifts, life-or-death decisions, and the countless challenges that the medical field never ceases to present.

Dai Nam University’s Commitment: Producing More Than Just "Paper” Doctors

Speaking at the ceremony, Dr. Le Dac Son, Chairman of the University Council, Dai Nam University, emphasized: "DNU does not train doctors and pharmacists who are only proficient in theory but hesitant when facing patients. We are committed to ensuring that our graduates not only possess knowledge but also the confidence and competence to practice their profession firmly."

This commitment is not just words; it is proven through a system of modern practice rooms and laboratories, close partnerships with major hospitals, the intense pressure of the first night shifts, and through every drop of sweat in the simulation surgery room.

More importantly, it is upheld by the belief that every Healthcare student graduating from Dai Nam University can take pride in themselves and the path they have chosen.

Dai Nam Students – Shining with resilience, ready to embark on their medical journey

The ceremony was not only a tribute but also a stage for Healthcare students to showcase themselves. The medical, pharmaceutical, and nursing scenario competitions were more than just a test of knowledge; they are a trial of resilience. Every scenario, every question placed students under the very pressures they will inevitably face in their future careers.

There was no trace of fear or hesitation. There was only confidence, composure, and keen intuition — the qualities that define a true medical professional.

Continuing journey – DNU continues to train skilled and ethical physicians

70 years - a glorious journey for Vietnam’s Healthcare sector. Along this journey, Dai Nam University takes pride in contributing to the training of generations of doctors, pharmacists, and nurses who are not only technically proficient but also compassionate toward their patients.

With a dedicated faculty, a practical training environment, and a clear guiding principle —“Learn to be able to do it”— Dai Nam University remains committed to providing high-quality medical personnel for the nation.

Today, DNU students may still be sitting in lecture halls, but tomorrow, they will put on their blouses and step into the world with a sacred mission: to heal, to save lives, and to uphold the honor of the title "Physician."
