Introduction

The medical journey of
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quang

The medical journey of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quang began during his dedicated years at Hanoi Medical University, where he graduated in 1994 and was soon selected for formal training as a surgical resident. Long on-call nights, his first surgical cases, and the rigorous surgical environment laid a solid foundation for a young physician of resilience, discipline, and strong professional character.

Among the many graduates of the class of 1994, Dr. Nguyen Quang was honored to be selected as one of only two candidates admitted to the General Surgery Residency Program at Hanoi Medical University (Class 19, 1995–1998)—a prestigious program known for its highly competitive selection process, in which each physician is granted only one opportunity in a lifetime to apply.

From general surgery, Dr. Quang gradually found his specialized path in Urology and Andrology, a field that was still very new in Vietnam at that time. He continuously pursued further education and research, completing his PhD in Urological Surgery at the Vietnam Military Medical Academy, while also participating in numerous international training and fellowship programs in Taiwan, the United States, South Korea, and Thailand, in order to access the latest advances in modern medicine.

With a strong surgical foundation and an international academic perspective, Dr. Quang has devoted many years to urogenital surgery, microsurgery in andrology, treatment of male infertility, sexual dysfunction, and reconstructive genital surgery. He is particularly committed to a comprehensive and patient-centered approach, not only addressing symptoms but also aiming to improve patients’ long-term quality of life.

Currently, Dr. Quang serves as Director of the Center for Andrology and Sexual Medicine at Viet Duc University Hospital, the leading national tertiary referral center for surgery and the oldest surgical hospital in Vietnam. This is also where he and his colleagues have been developing the field of Andrology and Sexual Medicine in a structured, standardized, and internationally aligned manner.

Alongside his clinical work, Dr. Quang is a dedicated educator and scientist. He is currently Head of the Department of Urology, Andrology and Sexual Medicine at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam National University, and is actively involved in teaching at multiple medical institutions, supervising PhD candidates, postgraduate students, and young physicians. He is the author and co-author of more than 100 scientific publications, and has contributed to the development of numerous medical textbooks and specialized monographs.

As President of the Vietnam Society for Sexual Medicine, Dr. Quang continues to play a key role in academic networking, promoting international collaboration, organizing scientific conferences, and raising public awareness of reproductive and sexual health. To him, medicine is not only about treating disease, but also a long-term commitment to improving quality of life and human well-being.
