UPDATE 2/25/2015: Check out some new pictures near the bottom of the gallery! TET, or Lunar New Year in Vietnam, is just ending and all of the nursing students are ready to get back into the swing of nursing after a fun time off!
MEDRIX is in Vietnam right now with the 2015 Northwest University study abroad team! We have partnered for many years with Hue College of Medicine and Pharmacy, encouraging American and Vietnamese nursing students to work together and experience the joys and challenges of global nursing and health care. Right now the MEDRIX team is in the villages outside Hue, building relationships with the village people and with one another. Take a look at some of these amazing shots of our nursing students and our dedicated MEDRIX volunteer and board member Laura Crumly–we’re so thrilled she joined us for this trip!
