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
