Hanoi Medical University has a female vice-rector.

For the past 20 years, Associate Professor Kim Bao Giang has been the only woman on the Board of Directors of Hanoi Medical University. Thus, currently, Hanoi Medical University has 3 vice rectors, 2 in charge of professional matters, and 1 in charge of economics .

Associate Professor Kim Bao Giang received the resolution appointing her as vice-rector in charge of academic affairs from Professor Ta Thanh Van.

Speaking to Thanh Nien Newspaper, Professor Ta Thanh Van said that after about 20 years, Hanoi Medical University has only had one woman on its board of directors. The most recent period when Hanoi Medical University had a woman on its board was when Professor Ton That Bach was the rector (1993-2003). During that period, Hanoi Medical University had two women on its board: Professor Pham Thi Minh Duc and Dr. Nguyen Thi Ha. In the more than 120-year history of Hanoi Medical University, very few women have served on the board of directors of this oldest university in Indochina. The university has had 16 rectors, all of whom were men.

Associate Professor Kim Bao Giang is 51 years old this year. She graduated with a degree in general medicine from Hanoi Medical University in 1996. Afterward, she was retained by the university as a teaching assistant, and then as a lecturer until now. During her time at the university, she was sent to pursue a master's degree at Umea University and a doctoral degree at the Karolinska Institute, both in Sweden.

Ms. Giang was awarded the title of Associate Professor of Medicine in 2011 (at that time, the State implemented a system of awarding titles to Associate Professors and Professors, not an appointment system as it is today).

Prior to her appointment as Vice Rector, Associate Professor Kim Bao Giang was the Director of the Center for Educational Testing and Quality Assurance (Hanoi Medical University). Since her appointment as Vice Rector, Associate Professor Kim Bao Giang has continued to hold this position concurrently.
