Community Health Projects
This six-week project was designed for seven nursing students, seven physiotherapy students, and two academic supervisors to provide an immersive healthcare and cultural experience in the rural setting of Mai Chau, Vietnam.
To ensure a successful project, the orientation session included language lessons, cultural awareness training, and placement briefings. During the first two weeks, students visited Mai Chau Hospital, where they observed and assisted in various departments according to their areas of expertise.
Following this initial period, the next three weeks focused on intensive community health engagement. Students participated in hospital operations, including clinics and health checks, and observed local healthcare practices. They also assisted in implementing school health education programs, teaching primary and secondary students about hygiene, nutrition, and basic first aid. Additionally, students conducted home visits to assess the health of elderly residents, providing basic care and education on chronic disease management.
In the final week, students participated in cultural and leisure activities to deepen their understanding of local customs and lifestyles. These activities included a free day for exploration and a farewell dinner to celebrate the project’s completion. The final days were dedicated to reflection, report writing, and presenting project outcomes to local health authorities.
Through this Community Health Project, students developed enhanced clinical and interpersonal skills through direct patient care and interaction with local healthcare professionals. They also improved their ability to work effectively in cross-cultural teams and adapt to new environments and healthcare practices. Furthermore, students were able to make a tangible and long-term impact on the Mai Chau community by supporting healthcare services and providing public health education.
