Attention Students: Global Health in Vietnam International Voluntary Service (March/April 2016)

GEI and its partners invite professionals and students in nursing, midwifery, medicine, public health and related fields to join a unique International Voluntary Service opportunity in global health. Participants travel to Vietnam to acquire provider and possibly trainer certificates in one of three elective areas, and to teach alongside local colleagues at health facilities. In the process, they not only obtain valuable professional knowledge, skills and intercultural competence, but also make a significant contribution to the development of local professional capacity.
