HCMC Party Secretary Nguyen Van Nen talks with young doctors |
The Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City yesterday held an employment day event so that doctors who have just completed an 18-month internship program at hospitals attached to medical stations could meet hospital leaders for applying to an infirmary.
Attending the event, HCMC Party Secretary Nguyen Van Nen said that this event - the first of its kind - can make young doctors proud because they can select the workplace of their choice.
As he was recruited to work in Le Van Thinh Hospital in Thu Duc City after applying to the event, young doctor Duong Nguyen Hoang Lam, one of 270 young doctors who have just completed a pilot program to practice at hospitals associated with health stations, said that after completing the 18-month internship program at hospitals attached to medical stations, he participated in the event organized by the Department of Health instead of looking for a job.
These young doctors in the Department of Health-launched program spent 18 months practicing in hospitals parallel to ward and commune health stations. When practicing in hospitals, they were learning specialized techniques and when they were at health stations, the young doctors participated in grassroots health activities, especially primary care and prevention activities. With the experience gained after 18 months of practice, these young doctors feel they are confident to take on jobs in both treatment facilities and preventive health facilities.
