At 36, Dr. Oeng, a radiologist in the medical imaging department, does not at all regret his choice, both political and professional, to settle in France.
Sandy Oeng does not go there by four paths. The 36-year-old radiologist from the medical imaging department of the Montauban hospital center chose to come to France for two reasons. A politic. “In Cambodia, everything was political. I have worked in several sectors, public or private. Politics was involved in everything. I didn’t want to stay in this system,” explains the Cambodian doctor.
The second motivation is more professional. “I knew France from afar, where my uncle had been working for quite a few years already as a radiologist, here in Montauban. »
Registered with the Order of Physicians in January 2022
Graduated from the University of Pnom Penh in 2014, Sandy landed in France, in Clermont-Ferrant, in October 2017 where he passed a new diploma of in-depth training in medicine. Two years later, he landed a contract at the Montauban hospital center and joined his uncle in the medical imaging department. He was a “Padhue”, in other words “practitioner with a diploma outside the European Union”.

Acting as an intern at the start of his career, he then won the famous sesame aimed at by many doctors with diplomas outside the European Union: the knowledge verification tests (EVC). In January 2022, Sandy Oeng was then registered on the board of the Order of Physicians in Tarn-et-Garonne. His wife joined him in Montauban in October 2021. He has just acquired a house in Montauban and applied for French nationality.
Professionally, Sandy still plans to embark on a course as a hospital practitioner. And according to the famous line of the Tontons flingueurs, he “should not leave Montauban” anytime soon. “We work here in a great team of very good level. The patient is at the center of our profession, of our daily concern as practitioners. And the equipment is top notch,” says the radiologist.
