Medical Internship in Vietnam
Dear VSG list,
I am a Vietnamese-Canadian medical student interested in doing an
elective in
Vietnam during the
summer of 2006. I am presently looking for a doctor (preferably one
based out
of a solid teaching
hospital) who would be willing to supervise me for 4-5 weeks (July
2006). It
doesn't really matter what
their specialty is. What's more important is that they're
interested in
taking a student under their wing.
Ideally, someone in central Vietnam (in Hue or the surrounding rural
areas)
would be best, but any
recommendations/contacts you might have, even if they are in another
location,
would be much
appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Anne--
Did I give you the name of Nguyen Viet Nhan, in physiology (and
the "Center for Disabled Children and Genetic Counseling") at Hue
Medical School? He is probably too busy, but might have a suggestion.
You could mention me, and your connection with Quang Tho. There are
also great doctors who work with the Peace Village rehabilitation
center in Hue....again, Dr. Nhan's office could put you in touch with
them.

good luck! wish I could be there too!

Anne,
You might want to try my foster son (for info, not supervision).
He is
a postgrad paediatrics student at Hue Hospital, his name is BS Le van
Quy, his email is vanquy78@yahoo.com.
Best,
Peter Hansen
