Join us on this project to develop your skills, build your medical knowledge, and support healthcare efforts in Vietnam.

Your time in Vietnam won’t just be spent in medical settings, though. Immersing in a new culture is a learning opportunity all of its own, and we make sure that you don’t miss the popular sights.

When you aren’t hard at work, you’ll get involved with fun cultural activities as part of your group. Visit the Water Puppet Theatre to witness a traditional performance, tour nearby historical landmarks like the Temple of Literature or the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, and learn to cook traditional Vietnamese dishes.

Over the weekend, take a two-day excursion to the stunning Ha Long Bay. Kayak through natural karst towers standing tall above the water, join a Tai Chi session at sunrise, explore twisting cave systems, and try your hand at squid fishing.

Visit Vietnam in style and stay in a comfortable hotel with all the amenities you expect, three meals a day, and safe drinking water. During your excursion to Ha Long Bay, you’ll stay overnight on a deluxe cruise ship, floating peacefully among the karst towers.

We’ve made sure our accommodation in Vietnam is clean, safe, and welcoming, exactly what you need for an enjoyable adventure. You’ll likely share a room with at least one other Projects Abroad participants of the same gender and a similar age.

You’ll also get the chance to try excellent traditional Vietnamese cuisine, including famous pho (noodles in broth) and banh mi baguettes.
