Hanoi Medical University conducted its 2026 Match Day residency selection, an event where approximately 780 candidates competed for 444 available positions. The selection process utilizes a ranking system based on exam scores, allowing top-performing students to choose their specialties first.

While many top students selected traditional fields, such as Obstetrics and Gynecology or Oncology, some candidates opted for less conventional specialties. Notably, the final two available slots were filled by doctors choosing forensic medicine. These individuals, including Truong Viet Anh and Do Tat Binh, entered the field despite social stigmas and the profession’s reputation for high pressure and legal complexity.

Faculty members noted the diversity of career paths during the event, emphasizing that while residency is a prestigious route, it is not the sole method for achieving professional success in the medical field.
