News Report (VNA) - University awards diplomas to first graduating class of medical doctors.
On July 9th, Dai Nam University held its 2026 Medical Doctor Graduation Ceremony. The ceremony held special significance for the university as it marked the first time degrees were awarded to the first cohort of medical doctors trained at the institution.
In his closing report, People's Physician, Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Duc Hanh, Head of the Faculty of Medicine, Dai Nam University, emphasized that the 2020–2026 Medical Course (K14) is the first Medical Doctor program of Dai Nam University, marking a historical milestone in the development of the Faculty of Medicine and the Health Sciences Block. The six-year journey of the course took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, posing many challenges to training. However, with proactive innovation, application of technology, close cooperation with medical facilities, and unwavering commitment to quality, the Faculty of Medicine ensured the output standards, successfully trained the first batch of new doctors, and created a solid foundation for the University's development in the field of medical training.
Clinical practice training is identified as the "soul" of the Medical Doctor education model at Dai Nam University. The Faculty of Medicine has signed cooperation agreements and organized training at 21 major hospitals (central-level and first-class hospitals), 1 Center for Disease Control (CDC), and 2 grassroots health stations, maximizing opportunities for students to access diverse disease models and public health.
The first graduating class of Medical Doctors at Dai Nam University has received their diplomas. Among the 83 graduating students, 1 received an excellent grade, 27 received a good grade, and 53 received a fair grade… Besides the graduation results, the quality of training at the Faculty of Medicine is also demonstrated through the high competition rate in postgraduate entrance examinations.
In the very first recruitment cycle, 7 out of 8 new medical doctors from Dai Nam University were admitted to the residency program in Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Obstetrics at Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy. At the time of the graduation ceremony, 10 new medical doctors from the K14 cohort were participating in the residency entrance exam at Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Following this, several more medical doctors from Dai Nam University are preparing to take residency entrance exams at other prestigious universities such as Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, VinUni University, etc.
“These are signals and proof of the capabilities and unwavering determination of the first generation of medical doctors at Dai Nam University. The scientific research achievements of the students have reached impressive numbers. Specifically, in the period 2022-2026, students of the K14 cohort have won a total of 11 university-level scientific research awards, including one project submitted to the ministerial-level competition," said Associate Professor Hoang Duc Hanh.
Sharing his thoughts with the newly graduated doctors, Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Duc Hanh emphasized that the path ahead in the medical profession will be fraught with many hardships and challenges. The medical field not only demands accuracy, intelligence, and courage, but also a compassionate heart that knows how to listen and share in the suffering of patients.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony, newly graduated doctor Tran Hai Yen shared the question that has been asked many times: "Are students from private schools good enough to become doctors?"; "After six years of training, are they capable enough to shoulder the mission of caring for people's health and lives?" and "we have done it." It 's not because we want to prove whether we come from a public or private school, but because after six years of studying and training, we understand that the value of a doctor is not determined by the name of the school on the diploma, but is affirmed by professional competence, medical ethics, and responsibility towards patients. The most valuable thing our teachers gave us is not just medical knowledge or professional skills. They taught us to respect life, to put patients at the center, to listen with our hearts, and to understand that behind every medical record is a person, a family, a hope being entrusted to us.”
