Vietnam Trip Report

This trip has given me the opportunities to learn various Vietnamese medical terminologies, analyze the culture more deeply, practice basic clinical skills, widen my medical knowledge, and exchange perspectives with foreign practitioners. I was able to see many abnormalities and disorders that I would never get to see in the U.S. However, I think it would have been more beneficial if I had a more extensive knowledge of the basic medical science. It was amazing to be immersed in such a different environment and I recommend it to anyone who desires an exotic learning experience.
