Chapter 365: [365] Want to know the teacherâs evaluation of her Chapter 365: [365] Want to know the teacherâs evaluation of her Laughter echoed in the private room. Even the three Zhongshan Medical University doctors who were refuted laughed uncontrollably; they found it amusing themselves.
âWeâre just curious why she chose Guoxie?â These words fully demonstrated the visiting renowned doctorsâ interest in Xie Wanying.
A rare female science prodigy ultimately traveled a long distance to the north to study medicine, but for what? For a better pursuit? If it was to bury herself in medical laboratory research, using Guoxie as a springboard for going abroad and getting out into the world early was understandable. If it was for employment as a clinical doctor, unlike other professions, it was simply impossible for domestic medical students to go straight to becoming doctors abroad, and likewise, foreign medical students to directly become doctors in China.
Each country has different training systems and requirements for medical students, and different medical licenses are involved. Going abroad, one needs to retake exams. The same is true for coming to China. As for how many years it would take to get a foreign license as a clinical doctor abroad, thatâs hard to say. Medical studies are already long, so many who want to go abroad work as doctors domestically while continuing to take exams until they pass and can go abroad. Some even use exchanges between hospitals and foreign institutions to build international connections; in some countries, exams for becoming a doctor include interviews, so connections are very important.
In the end, most medical students who go abroad end up working in laboratories.
The problem is that many who dream of becoming doctors aspire to save lives in a clinical setting, wearing a white coat in front of patients to fulfill their dreams. Especially as a surgeon, the wish is often to hold a scalpel in the operating room, not to be confined to a laboratory, right?
âThe teachers are overthinking it, I havenât considered going abroad to be a doctor, and my family doesnât have that kind of money,â Xie Wanying needed to clarify the facts after hearing her seniors overestimate her familyâs financial situation. âI chose Guoxie simply because itâs the best medical college in the country.â
âWhich year are you in now at Guoxie? Will you continue to pursue a postgraduate degree at Guoxie after your undergraduate studies?â the senior doctors from Zhongshan Medical University asked.
These people couldnât be foolish enough to think that a science prodigy would only enroll in an undergraduate program, could they? As the others at the table looked over, the three Zhongshan Medical University doctors remembered, âRight, right, right, the Eight-Year Program, not the undergraduate. Are you studying internal medicine?â
âSurgery. Sheâs a surgical student,â Sun Yubo informed them.
âA rare female surgical student in the history of Guoxieâs Eight-Year Program,â Zhu Huicang, as a senior of the program, added straightforwardly.
âAre you interning yet?â
âYes, she started her internship two years ahead of schedule.â
âWith good grades?â The three fellow senior doctors voiced their skepticism.
It is especially rare to hear about a female surgical medical student being outstanding, given the perceived disadvantages women face in medicine.
âHer academic performance in school is very good, sheâs been first in her class for every subject,â Zhu Huicang knew this situation very clearly from what Ren Chongda had said.
âWhat about during the internship?â They didnât believe that a female medical student could also excel during an internship and wanted to hear the true thoughts of the clinical mentors.
This question could only be answered by that man. All eyes focused on Tan Kelin.
Xie Wanyingâs heart tightened for a moment. Hadnât she received quite a few reprimands from Teacher Tan, and Teacher Wu even said that the more Teacher Tan scolded her, the more he liked her as a student?
Clearly, Tan Kelin was not inclined to publicly comment on his studentâs performance. Even with everyoneâs expectations on him, his silent, cold face said it all: if he didnât speak, that meant he wouldnât speak.
Without saying a word, others could interpret his silence in all sorts of ways. Thus, the three Zhongshan Medical University doctors guessed: the female student must not have done well after all.
