Medicine Internships in Vietnam

Taking part in a nursing internship in India was a truly enriching experience, even through observation alone. It gave me the chance to better understand the Indian healthcare system, explore cultural differences in daily practices, and reflect on my own lifestyle and habits. Being immersed in such a different environment was both humbling and eye-opening. I learned to look at healthcare through a new lens and gained a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity in medical practice. I would definitely recommend this internship to anyone seeking more than just technical knowledge. It’s a story worth living, sharing, and growing from. RealStep also played a key role in making this possible by ensuring everything ran smoothly and supporting me throughout the journey.

I completed a nursing internship in Sri Lanka, where I was responsible for preparing treatments, taking blood samples, setting up IV lines, and doing wound dressings, among other tasks. This experience gave me a completely different perspective on patient care and helped me realize just how advanced the French healthcare system is. It was not only professionally enriching, but also a deeply personal eye-opener. I would absolutely recommend this internship. For me, it was a true life lesson. RealStep supported us throughout the entire experience, offering full guidance from start to finish

I took part in the Nursing Project in Cambodia, where I had the chance to observe medical practices and perform technical procedures such as blood draws and blood gas analyses. This experience was incredibly enriching, I learned new ways to carry out clinical tasks and discovered a completely different culture by living with a welcoming Cambodian host family. I would highly recommend this mission to anyone curious about healthcare in a different part of the world. RealStep provided excellent support from beginning to end, which made the experience even more rewarding.

On a human level, this medical internship with an NGO was just incredible. Discovering a new culture and a new way of providing care is also very enriching. It forces us to set aside our lifestyle and habits in order to open ourselves up to others—and that is priceless! Taking care of children, monks, and visiting patients in their homes. It’s amazing to find yourself right in the middle of people’s lives—exactly what we were looking for. Regarding the trip itself… Everything. Honestly, we have a hard time naming anything negative! Thailand is a country where it’s extremely easy to adapt and live. The Thai people are welcoming and helpful. We definitely want to go back.

My role involved working closely with nurses to provide patient support. This involved accompanying them through various medical procedures, including blood draws, infusions, and electrocardiograms (ECGs). In addition, I was also responsible for administering certain treatments, ensuring that patients received appropriate care and support throughout their medical journey. I spent 10 unique weeks in Nepal. I am extremely grateful to have been able to complete my first internship of my third-year nursing studies in a hospital in Kathmandu. This internship taught me a lot both professionally and personally. It was a unique experience in my career, an opportunity I am grateful to have had. Meeting such remarkable and touching people was very enriching. Furthermore, discovering breathtaking landscapes and experiencing unforgettable moments contributed to making this experience truly special for me.

This trip came at a time in my life when I deeply needed it. From a personal point of view, this trip made me grow. Finding yourself on the other side of the world in a country you don't know, people you don't know, a completely new language, and customs, can only make you grow. Responsibility, maturity, ambition. That's what this trip brought me. From a professional point of view, as a nursing student, this trip allowed me to measure how lucky we are in France to have access to care and the quality of care that it is despite these flaws. Adaptability and compassion are what Sri Lankan hospitals allowed me to adopt. If there is one thing this trip brought me, it is the fact of wanting to leave as soon as possible!!!

During this internship, I was mainly observing, but I was able to discover a new culture and a way of providing care different from what I was used to. It helped to expand my cultural awareness as it was a healthcare system that was completely different than back at home. For future nursing students who would like to do their internship in Tanzania, it would be a good idea to ask them about their expectations and skills in order to direct them to an establishment best fit for them. Overall, I recommend this project and RealStep as it was a good cultural learning experience.

In my internship, I gained the knowledge of culture, health care system, health differences, learning about their lifestyle habits, and the different medical practices in India. I recommend this project to anyone looking to go into the medical field because it is a unique and special way to grow and discover medical knowledge.

Throughout my internship, I observed and assisted doctors. I gained some valuable knowledge, such as awareness of different practices and systems of care abroad. knowledge. I recommend this program, but it is important that you are motivated and ask questions if you have any. They are more than willing to help but move quickly if you seem to understand everything. I recommed RealStep as they took care of everything and helped me with any questions I had through this process.

The nursing internship project was an enriching experience on many levels. On a personal level, it allowed me to develop my ability to manage stress and emergencies, as well as to improve my communication and empathy skills by interacting with patients and their families. Professionally, this internship offered me the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge I learned in school and develop my technical skills in a real healthcare environment. In addition, I was able to observe and learn best practices from my nursing colleagues, which enriched my professional background. Academically, this internship complemented my academic training by providing me with concrete and practical experience, which reinforced my overall understanding of the nursing profession. Overall, this internship was a crucial step in my training journey, allowing me to progress personally and professionally.

During my internship, we provided nursing care such as administering oral IV and SC medications, preparing IV drips and treatments, changing dressings, and taking vital signs. On a personal level, I learned a lot about different approaches to patients within the country's culture. Being immersed in a new culture, I was welcomed with open arms. I was able to expand my cultural awareness and human values through various delicate and complex situations. On a professional level, I discovered new techniques different from those I was familiar with as well as terms of relationships with patients and their families. The role of family in care is much more pronounced and important than back at home, which I found enriching. I would 100% recommend this assignment to anyone ready to discover a new approach to medicine and healthcare. This project opened my eyes to many things and helped me to improve my healthcare skills, both practically and culturally. Also, RealStep is an organization I would recommend. From the beginning, the team was very responsive and able to answer any questions I had. The team always answered quickly, even to the slightest concern or question. I would definitely do this project again.

My internship in Vietnam was like a big adventure! I got to dive into the world of marketing in a country full of energy and color. Every day was different and exciting. I worked in Ho Chi Minh City, where life never seemed to slow down. My job wasn't just sitting in an office; it was about exploring the city, meeting new people, and learning as much as I could. One of the coolest things was working with a startup trying to change how people get their food delivered. We brainstormed ideas, made plans, and saw our ideas come to life. It was amazing to see how passionate and determined Vietnamese entrepreneurs are. Thank you AIP team for making this possible.

I was really lucky to do an internship in Vietnam last year. AIP was super supportive, and I met awesome people during the internship and at social events. Ho Chi Mihn quickly felt like home, and I made lifelong friends. It helped me grow personally and gain professional experience. No regrets, and I wish I could do it all again. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to travel and work professionally. This experience taught me that anything is possible, and you should grab every opportunity.

Vietnam provide me lot of new experience and knowledge. Since I am coming here, i do not stop learning, and the information comes from everywhere not just from the work. The people of vietnam are all very friendly and like to help me. Environment is also really nice, so i am often go to do a walk in the evening and seeing the beautiful rivers and mountains. It is a such amazing experience.

Vietnam is more beautiful than I had imagined. I find it incredible that Hanoi is such a bustling urban area, yet you’re able to find parks and lakes around every corner. The scenery wherever you go is just stunning. There are so many opportunities to fully experience the nature, with activities such as kayaking, hiking, and rock climbing. The support from Meiji throughout was great. They did a wonderful job introducing me to Vietnam, and provided me with everything I needed to do an internship there (as well as stay safe and comfortable). Without these people, my internship experience in Vietnam would have never been able to happen.

My internship in Vietnam was unforgettable for many reasons - good and bad! On the internship side everything was perfect from both the host company and Meiji, so I really have no complaints there. On the other side, breaking my wrist was not so fun - especially when I saw the hospital bill! Luckily I had insurance so I am not officially bankrupt, but I’ll take it forward as a lesson and pass it on to you - make sure you get insured.

My internship in Vietnam gave me the opportunity to learn not only all about the world of Vietnamese business, but also Vietnamese culture. Both are elements you cannot learn without actually being in Vietnam, so I’m over the moon with my experience and would absolutely recommend Meiji to everybody considering an internship in Asia.

During my internship in Vietnam I worked with an international imports and exports business. I especially enjoyed this as it meant I was exposed to not only Vietnamese culture, but I was able to actively engage with businesses around the world. Meiji put the internship together really well - everything was always clear and they met all their requirements as an internship provider. As a result, I would highly recommend their services.

I wanted to focus my work experience towards social enterprise, and Vietnam is one of the best destinations to do this. I worked with a small business that was targeting towards the agricultural industry. All the colleagues seemed like a family, so it was a really nice place to work at. I learnt a lot and they exposed me to many things I would have never imagined to see. It’s a super beautiful country too, it was feeling like a holiday at some times.

Loved every minute spent in Vietnam and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back again. Of course I went for an internship but I still took every opportunity to have fun and party! It’s ideal for those on a budget too, given how cheap everything is there. You can definitely get by experiencing a lot without spending anything significant, so it was great for a student such as myself. A big thank you to Meiji and my lovely host company for making me feel welcomed in Vietnam!
