Three former classmates from the High School for Gifted Students under HUS have just entered their medical residencies, each in a different specialty. Their journey from shared biology lessons to independent doctors illustrates how friendship can shape demanding careers.

Nguyen Phuong Anh, Le Ngoc Phuong Nhi and Ha Vu Huyen Linh studied together from grades 10 to 12 in the Biology 1 class at the High School for Gifted Students under HUS. Throughout those years they constantly exchanged notes, formed study groups and offered each other emotional encouragement.

After six years at Hanoi Medical University, all three graduated with honors and successfully passed the university’s competitive medical residency selection in 2026. Their mutual support continued during university exams and the intense residency preparation.

On Match Day 2026 each friend chose a distinct field: Phuong Anh opted for plastic surgery, Phuong Nhi selected dermatology, and Huyen Linh entered internal medicine. Linh’s decision reflects her multi‑generational medical family, Nhi’s choice follows a family of dermatologists, while Anh, who had no medical background, was motivated by her friends’ encouragement.

Their story shows that close friendship, shared study habits and family influence can turn a demanding path into a shared triumph. The three doctors will keep supporting each other throughout residency.
