On the morning of April 18, the campus of Hanoi Medical University became busier than usual. In harmony with the familiar lifestyle of medical students, nearly 700 students and their parents showed up early to participate in the experience program "One Day in HMU". The faces were still filled with excitement, mixed with a bit of surprise - but clearly, everyone was carrying a very personal expectation about the door called Medicine.
Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Tu - Principal of Hanoi Medical University
At the meeting, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Tu - Principal of the school directly gave a welcome speech to the students and parents. He expressed his joy when welcoming enthusiastic young faces to explore the school with a 124-year history. Through his warm words of sharing, he hopes that experiencing one day as a Hanoi medical student will help you better understand the value of the medical field, thereby giving you more strong motivation to practice and officially become a part of the Hanoi medical family in the near future.
From 7 a.m., green volunteer shirts covered the school yard. The enthusiasm and closeness of the students quickly helped the students feel more comfortable. The atmosphere in the hall calmed down during the sharing session with the topic "Step through the HMU gate: Passing is the beginning, maturity is the journey" by Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hoai Bac, lecturer at Hanoi Medical University. The stories are not colorful, not overly idealized, but enough for students to understand that admission is only the first step, the journey to becoming a true physician is what requires the most effort.
After the opening session, the groups began their sightseeing journey. No longer imagining things through pictures or stories, the students took turns "touching" the real life of a medical student.
From the historical marks when standing in front of the statue of Mr. Yersin, to the modern lecture halls - which show a clear change in the learning environment. At the practice areas, from Dentistry, labs to the Laboratory Technology area, each stop brings a more specific perspective on each specialty - no longer a general concept, but the very clear jobs and skills behind it.
One thing that surprises many of you is that medical student life does not just revolve around schoolwork. Stops like the A1 campus, dormitories or basketball courts, show a more balanced pace of life - where medical students still study seriously, but also know how to enjoy their youth.
The program atmosphere becomes more exciting with minigame activities. Laughter, small gifts, quick photos... all contribute to creating a complete day of experience. For many of you, this is probably the first time the dream has become so specific - no longer far away, but close enough to be able to set goals and make efforts.
“One Day in HMU” ends, but what remains is more than just a tour. It is a clearer feeling about the learning environment, about the road ahead and maybe, a silent appointment with yourself for the upcoming enrollment period.
Goodbye and see you again - future doctors and medical graduates under the same roof of Hanoi Medical University!
