White Coat Ceremony and Doctor’s Oath

On the evening of January 9, Nam Can Tho University held its annual "White Coat Ceremony and Doctor’s Oath" for over 600 new students majoring in General Medicine, Dentomaxillofacial, and Pharmacy. These students were recently admitted to the university and were welcomed into the healthcare field. According to Dr. Nguyen Van Quang, the Rector of Nam Can Tho University, this ceremony is a tradition for new healthcare students and serves to educate them on medical ethics and instill a strong sense of responsibility in future physicians. This year's ceremony, held in the academic year of 2023-2024, was the largest ever and was a tribute to physicians.
