Accomplishments
I have completed a 1-month international placement in Vietnam as part of a shared cultural and healthcare experience. I have observed how care is provided in a hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. It helped me enrich my experiences and gain a better understanding of the background of providing patient-centered care and of considering factors beyond the clinical presentation. It also helped me get organized, as preparing for placement involved a lot of paperwork that had to be submitted in a timely manner.
