Healthcare Internships In Vietnam

On your medical internship in Vietnam, you'll spend time in a university teaching hospital that delivers exceptional clinical experience. You can gain experience in an impressive number of departments; reproductive endocrinology and infertility, cardiovascular, DSA, oncology, and gastrointestinal endoscopy are all open to you. Seeing how traditional Vietnamese medicine complements contemporary practices will also be a highlight. If you're after a medical internship in Asia, Hue is an excellent option. As of 2024, you can also rotate in our partner hospital's dermatology department. 

The range of departments you can spend time in is broad; the ED, psychiatry, oncology, gastrointestinal endoscopy, and the reproductive endocrinology and infertility centre to name a few. The institution we’re partnered with is a university teaching hospital. If you have an interest in seeing how traditional Vietnamese medicine is used alongside some of the more contemporary practises, the Vietnamese traditional medicine department is also an option.

You’ll learn from both qualified midwives and midwifery students in the hospital’s OBG department attending live births, and getting involved in both prenatal and postnatal care. We’re partnered with a large university teaching hospital which allows us to offer an exceptional level of clinical experience. You’ll see how local professionals have adapted techniques and practises to get around the limitations a lack of resources places on the delivery of care.

Staff in the rehabilitation department have decades of experience coaching physical therapy students like you. Alongside these professionals, you can help to rehabilitate patients with all manner of conditions. You can also gain uncommon insight into the lasting effects chemical weaponry has on paediatric spina bifida patients, generations after its use in the Vietnam War. This is a unique opportunity to learn how patients are rehabilitated despite a lack of modern equipment.

When it comes to paramedicine internships abroad, Vietnam offers unique experiences. Traditional medicine is built right into the healthcare system here, so you’ll see how modern practises complement traditional approaches. You’ll also see RTAs, trauma, and unfamiliar diseases in our partner hospital’s ED. A number of patients travel in from Vietnam’s more rural areas, so there’s equal variety in the patient demographic.

Our partner institution in Hue is a university teaching hospital, which allows us to create exceptional learning experiences. The hospital isn’t as well funded as you might be used to. Much of the equipment is out of date, and some technologies common in American hospitals are entirely absent. However, local staff work tirelessly to make up for the lack of equipment. Their ultimate aim is to deliver adequate care. Exposure to these challenges will help you develop a level of resourcefulness that few of your peers possess.

Undertaking a pharmacy internship in our partner hospital will bring to light the ways in which poor funding limits the delivery of care. This resources gap is particularly notable when it comes to pharmacy. Many drugs have a limited supply, while others are entirely unavailable. This has an obvious impact on staff’s ability to treat patients effectively. Observing how traditional Vietnamese medicine is used in conjunction with contemporary practices will be a highlight.
