With
this
letter, I am going to express my motivation to pursue the
Health
Informatics
master
program
on-campus stream at Victoria University in the fall of 2022.
I graduated with a bachelor of medicine in 2014 and worked as a community
health
program
manager at a district medical

in

for more than 3 years. In 2018, I was
honoredChange the spelling

to receive the Danish Government scholarship that covered my entire tuition fee and monthly stipends for my master
program
in public
health
at the University of Southern Denmark. The reason that encourages me to apply to
this
program
stem from my strong interest in pursuing a career in the digital
health
area
that has been fostered throughout my academic and working
experience
.
Working as a public
health
doctor in
Vietnam
for three years enables me to gain an in-depth understanding of the operation process as well as shortcomings in the management of our medical
system
. The traditional paper-based
system
still plays a major role in most public medical facilities which potentially leads to time-consuming processes and intricacy to patient’s data exchange among hospitals.
Additionally
, according to W.H.O,

this
may lead to a rapid increase in demand for geriatric

services and facilities.
As a result
, it has been foreseen that the application of digital
health
innovations will be a potential solution to amend communication among physicians and the quality of geriatric and chronic
care
.
During my

through volunteer works and school projects. I was admitted to a talent

their amazing experiences of how technological devices helped them cope with loneliness during the pandemic. I was intrigued by how technological advancements could bring enormous benefits to the life of people. After graduation, I applied to work in a healthcare firm that develops a chest wearable device to help patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. As a medical advisor, I worked in a cross-functional team with members from different backgrounds and participated in various developmental phases. Through

fascinating, challenging and rewarding career. At the same time, I have

knowledge and technical skills in
this
area
which I find them missing from my previous academic background.
As a result
, attending a professional academic
program
that specialized in
Health

with opportunities for practical internships will be an optimal choice that helps me progress in the field.
I choose to

the most about

is the co-operative

that allows students to interact effectively with the industry, gain in-depth work

as well as form strong rapports with other professionals in

.
As a result
, graduates will not be confused but fully prepared to join the competitive market after graduation.
My goal after graduation is to start my own medical
technology
company that develops and implements digital
health
solutions to invigorate the quality of medical services and mitigate out-of-pocket expenses of patients in
Vietnam
. It could be an application, software or a medical device that provides innovative models of
care
that enhances patient-doctor connectivity and allows physicians to keep track of patients’ history, records, prescriptions and lab reports at an affordable cost. I am

Additionally
, ameliorating our traditional paper-based

to a computerized, universal and comprehensive

at all levels for the better administration of patient records is
also
one of my concerns.
