VIETNAMESE DOCTORS WHO WANT TO COME TO THE US HAVE TO LEAVE EVERYTHING AND CAN ONLY WORK WITH HAND? 1. Life of foreign doctors in America Previously, during my residency, I had the opportunity to study with a doctor from Mexico. He is much older than us. I still remember when we first entered residency, we were around 27, and he was over 40 because he previously studied medicine in his hometown and had worked there for a long time. He also just moved his family to America more than 5 years ago. He said that when he first passed, his family’s life was quite difficult because they had to pay a large amount of money to file documents and settle down in America.

Ho Tro 05/03/2025 No Comments

“DO YOU PLAN TO GO TO VIETNAM TO CONTRIBUTE?” This is a question that I receive quite a lot when sharing about my current life in America. After more than 20 years since the first day I stepped off the plane, I have experienced many ups and downs in life in this country. From the days of being penniless, buying a used shirt for 5 dong and having to put it down, to now being a doctor in the US, in the budding millionaires group and having a prosperous life with a small family here. So do I have plans to return to Vietnam to work in the near future? My answer will be no. I have no intention of returning to Vietnam to work. The first and biggest reason I want to stay is because when I work as a doctor in the US, I have better financial conditions.
