Medical and Health Education
Each year MEDRIX works with Vietnamese partners to provide medical and nursing education as well as consultation services to physicians, nurses and paramedical personnel. Two main types of training are typically provided.
- MEDRIX brings in qualified volunteer physicians and nurses from the USA who travel to Vietnam, to teach and train Vietnamese physicians and nurses.
- MEDRIX partners with local and professional “Trained Trainers” inVietnam to conduct classes. All classes are approved at the provincial health level.
