The handsome doctor, IELTS 8.0 and book author

Dr. Do Trung Kien (30 years old) graduated with honors and was the valedictorian of the General Medicine program at the Military Medical Academy in Hanoi in 2020. In addition, Dr. Kien is also very proficient in English and passionate about writing books.

Studying medicine but knowing a foreign language is a big advantage.

Starting from simple childhood dreams, Dr. Kien always wanted to help the poor and needy who couldn't afford medical treatment. "The smiles from patients have given me strength on my journey to pursue a career in medicine," Dr. Kien shared. He was a chemistry student at Hanoi -Amsterdam High School for Gifted Students. In 2011, his family sent him to study biochemistry at the State University of New York at Geneseo, USA. Two years later, his family faced financial difficulties, preventing him from continuing his studies abroad.

When forced to return to Vietnam due to unforeseen circumstances, Kien couldn't help but feel regret. However, he quickly realized that learning is not limited by geography, and English is the key to unlocking the door to knowledge. “I quickly regained my spirits and passed the entrance exam for the General Medicine program at the Military Medical Academy. This is a wonderful environment that helps me acquire the necessary medical knowledge to serve the community,” Kien shared. During his studies at the Military Medical Academy, Kien consistently demonstrated himself to be a dynamic student, proficient in foreign languages, and frequently received scholarships. Kien was the head of the English Club at the Military Medical Academy, received scholarships for 10 out of 12 semesters in the 6-year general medicine program, and won first prize at the academy-level student scientific research conference… In 2019, as a final-year student, Kien had the opportunity to study abroad through an exchange program at the National University Hospital of Singapore.

The doctor is passionate about writing books.

Having had the opportunity to interact with international students helped Kien significantly improve his English skills. In particular, achieving an IELTS score of 8.0 wasn't just about studying; it was also a process of acquiring knowledge through books, videos, and music . "Knowledge is formed from daily experiences, not just from intensive study sessions," Kien shared. In 2022, he published the books "Medical English" and "Hospital Communication English," and in 2023, he published them. The process of writing and publishing these two books was not easy. Kien faced many difficulties in ensuring the accuracy of the information.

“I consulted with experts and interned at major hospitals to better understand the practical work of healthcare professionals. This not only helped me accumulate knowledge but also ensured the practical relevance of the book,” Kien said. Kien advises medical students to start learning English in their first year and to progress from basic to specialized levels. “Regular reading, translation, and practice will help improve language skills,” Kien said. With his continuous efforts, Kien has been proving that the combination of expertise and language skills can open up many opportunities, not only for himself but also for the community.
