top student at medical school

Chapter 25 Wolfish Temptation (Please add to your favorites and read on)
"Yuan Weihong, Fang Ziye is now just one step away from completing his first training session during his master's degree studies, right?"

"You can't talk about this carelessly. I've already reported it to the head of the surgical department. If it turns out to be a false report, I'll make you the one to take the lead." Deng Yong is a professor, a senior professional, and the head of the ward.

Besides having a large number of patients to manage, endless academic conferences, and countless surgeries, he also holds many other roles such as expert reviewer, laboratory director, and reviewer for SCI journals. He is very busy.

Deng Yong couldn't possibly focus his attention on master's students. Let alone master's students, even outstanding doctoral students would only be glanced at a few times when graduation was approaching, with him wondering in his heart if he could keep them in the hospital for his own use.

Therefore, most of the information about whether there are outstanding students in the department comes from hearsay.

It was only recently, when an outstanding eight-year program student like Luo Tingzhu came to him wanting to apply for his doctoral program and become a doctoral student in orthopedics, that Deng Yong took special attention to it.

After all, ever since Luo Tingzhu expressed her intention to apply for the trauma surgery major, a whole bunch of old ladies from the internal medicine and obstetrics and gynecology departments called Deng Yong, asking him to persuade that girl.

After reviewing Luo Tingzhu's basic skills, Professor Deng Yong offered only a token word of advice.

"Yes, Professor Deng, you have made great progress in incision, suturing, and debridement. Now, in our trauma surgery training room, the only thing missing for a master's student to pass the doctoral entrance exam is a hemostasis technique."

“However, I’ve seen Ziye’s basic hemostasis technique, and it’s already quite good.” Yuan Weihong naturally wouldn’t dare to speak carelessly.

Zhongnan Hospital is a teaching hospital with teaching and research departments, which include internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and general medicine departments.

Outstanding students can only apply for doctoral studies through the university's academic department, which then submits the application to the department for approval. The application is then submitted to the Graduate School of the Second Clinical College and finally to the Graduate School of Han City University.

"So your basic skills are pretty good. I heard you even collected a piece of tofu with characters carved on it. You sealed it with wax, huh?" Deng Yong led Yuan Weihong into the office, sat down on the desk, and crossed his legs.

Yuan Weihong then took the initiative to boil water and make tea.

"It's a token of Ziye's goodwill, Professor Deng. Please don't laugh at me. Brother Yuan has already disciplined me many times." Yuan Weihong sniffed, appearing extremely humble.

Those who can reach Professor Deng Yong's level are all extremely outstanding talents in their time. Through the test of time, they have become senior-level professionals. To him, a junior master's or doctoral student like Karami is just a child.

"Our orthopedics department hasn't produced any professional talents who have gone through the training room route to pursue a doctorate in the past three or four years. We should cherish this opportunity."

"Xiao Honghong, could you please pass on a message to Xiao Fang? Tell him that as long as he leaves the training room, he can pursue a doctorate. But this is a reward from the Second Clinical College; our department also has additional incentives."

"If he can master the fundamental skills required for a master's degree, then give him a chance to graduate early. A doctorate is a three-year program, so let him graduate in two years and see if he can seize the opportunity."

"Then it will trigger an unexpected reaction."

Upon hearing Professor Deng Yong's words, Yuan Weihong immediately felt envious and paused, saying, "Professor Deng, why didn't you think of me back then? Such a good thing!"

Deng Yong glanced at him and said, "During your master's studies, you didn't even leave the practice room?"

"Later, when you left the training room during your doctoral studies, I even ripped off my own students. What more do you want?"

Pursuing a doctorate is a highly competitive endeavor, but there are many ways to compete, including application assessment, direct admission, and direct doctoral programs.

However, the hospital's retention quota is a brutal competition, with only one or two spots available each year. No matter how outstanding a person is, they are only used as a warning to others.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Weihong immediately changed his tune to a grin: "Teacher Deng, the way you're saying that makes it sound like I'm not your student anymore."

"If others heard this, it would create such a distance between us..."

"You bootlicker." Deng Yong feigned a kick at Yuan Weihong.

"Is there any chance of getting into the 'Ten Thousand Talents Program'?" "It's probably still a bit short." Yuan Weihong lowered his head slightly.

The National Special Support Program for High-Level Talents, also known as the National "Ten Thousand Talents Program," is a support program for high-level talents in China.

The conditions for application are extremely stringent.

They have distinguished themselves in key areas of natural sciences, engineering technology, philosophy and social sciences, and culture and art, achieved high academic accomplishments both domestically and internationally, possess good potential for innovation and development, and have a certain social influence.

Applicants must be under 40 years of age. A doctoral degree is only the most basic requirement, and it is not limited to the medical field but covers all fields and disciplines.

Basically, only six or seven students from the entire Seoul University were selected, making them the elite of the elite.

"This is a highly competitive market; it's all about luck."

"Your professional skills are pretty good right now, aren't they? When are you going to apply to go to the countryside for counterpart support and assistance? You need to resolve the issues regarding associate professor and full professor titles." Deng Yong's attention to Yuan Weihong was extraordinary.

Associate senior professional titles include associate chief physician and associate professor.

The title of senior professional is researcher. Although Yuan Weihong is only an attending physician, he has already obtained the title of researcher and will be able to become a doctoral supervisor in two years.

Such an impressive resume, even if it's not the most outstanding among those of the same age group, reveals just how intense the competition is in the medical and scientific research fields.

"Professor Deng, isn't there still a year left?"

“It should be in the second half of next year. I’ve only been an intermediate-level student for three years, and the mandatory requirement is five years,” Yuan Weihong explained, then added, “Just in time for Ziye to graduate next year.”

“That’s fine. If you can keep your first student with you, he’ll be graduating around the time you get promoted to associate professor. If you take on a more advanced group, he can become an attending physician and help you take the lead.” Deng Yong took the tea that Yuan Weihong handed him and took a sip.

"Thank you, Professor Deng, for your guidance..."

……

At night, eleven o'clock.

After delivering the news to Fang Ziye and Jie Han, Yuan Weihong rode his electric scooter home.

Jie Han stood there, stunned: "Huh? Senior Brother?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? I'm still a long way from there!" Fang Ziye glanced at Jie Han, his heart pounding slightly.

It took Fang Ziye more than 20 years to go from being unknown to being appreciated by big shots.

However, Fang Ziye quickly calmed down.

This is the allure of the "wolf," not a direct gift; it must be earned through one's own "fighting" and struggle.

Moreover, according to the professor, graduating early with a doctorate is not necessarily a good thing, as it will be very rushed. To secure such a promise, one must prepare the articles to be published during the master's stage.

I went abroad for a year of advanced studies during my first year of university, then prepared my graduation project and thesis. After returning, I immediately began working on the clinical residency application required for my doctoral studies.

But having the opportunity to graduate early means being able to start working and earning money sooner!
