My Medical Internship in Vietnam

July this year I spend 4 weeks in Vietnam doing a medicine internship in the ‘Vietnam National Hospital of Pediatrics’. And wow.. it is actually hard to put into words how great this experience has been (but I’ll try ;) ).
Let me start by saying that the time I’ve spend in there I’ll never forget. The staff and the people I met were all extremely friendly and prepared to help with anything I needed even if it was only advice (which was a lot, because I was the ‘rookie’ of the group). During the weekdays I got to shadow doctors of different specialities. And in the weekends I went to explore the beauty of Vietnam with friends who came from all over the world!
But let’s focus on my project specifically; As mentioned I shadowed doctors for the most part. Even though they don’t all speak English that well, they were prepared to take time out of their busy schedules and answer my questions (and believe me there were a lot !!).
In Vietnam I got so many opportunities to see and try things I could only dream of doing in elsewhere. Overall I am very pleased with the whole experience and the things I saw and learned.

Kind regards,
