Tung Giep, MD aims to guide new physicians with his new book

In Houston, Texas, on March 25, 2025, Dr. Tung Giep, a board-certified neonatologist with over three decades of experience, announced the release of his debut book aimed at aiding new doctors in successfully launching their careers. The book shares essential lessons that Dr. Giep believes every physician should be aware of before entering the workforce. Notably, he emphasizes that while medical school provides clinical knowledge, it often lacks focus on business skills that are increasingly vital in the current healthcare environment. Dr. Giep’s aim with this publication is to distill the experiences he has gained throughout his career into a practical, accessible guide for new physicians. In it, he addresses critical issues that many medical graduates face, including clarifying career goals and understanding employment options and compensation packages. This comprehensive approach not only prepares new doctors for the challenges they will encounter but also enables them to make informed decisions proactively, rather than reactively. The book’s encouraging reception is reflected in the praises from colleagues in the medical community, who affirm that it reads like a conversation with a trusted advisor. Dr. Jim Ramsey, a consultant with extensive experience in medical practice management, noted the value embedded in Dr. Giep’s insights, which are derived from years of hard-won knowledge. Similarly, Mary Hall, an advanced practice nurse, commended the book for presenting necessary considerations for healthcare professionals at various stages of their careers. Dr. Giep’s background as a refugee from Vietnam who successfully built a career in medicine adds a layer of depth to his work, reinforcing the themes of resilience and the importance of supporting future generations of physicians. As he currently leads community hospital nurseries and a telemedicine program that enhances patient care by ensuring 24/7 access to specialists, the practical relevance of his knowledge clearly illustrates the complexities of managing medical practices today. Thus, his book serves not just as a guide but as a testament to his commitment to improving the healthcare experience for both doctors and patients alike.
