Throughout university, I\u2019ve always had an interest in infectious diseases, but I found the scope of practice within the UK to be limited, and opportunities to take a placement in infectious diseases are also rare.<\/p><p>So, when it came time to plan my elective, it was a no-brainer. I was set on travelling to Southeast Asia, as I had never been before and was drawn to the region\u2019s rich culture and vibrant sights.<\/p><p>It was almost by chance that I came across the clinical internship at OUCRU, and I jumped at the opportunity to apply. The idea of spending six weeks in Ho Chi Minh City kept me motivated throughout my final exams, and I can confidently say it lived up to all my expectations and more.<\/p><h4>Inside the wards: complex infections and the global realities of vaccine access\u00a0<\/h4><p>Upon arriving at OUCRU, I had an induction where I met <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oucru.org\/people\/leigh-jones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr Leigh Jones<\/a>, Regional Academic Training Leader at OUCRU &amp; MORU, and Dr Joseph Donovan for the first time. They introduced us to the many friendly faces in the research teams, and we immediately felt welcomed into the team.<\/p><p>Three times a week, we could attend ward rounds on Central Nervous System (CNS) infections at the Viet Anh ward, the Hospital for Tropical Diseases (HTD, the host institute of OUCRU), with Dr Joseph. On the other days, we were free to organise meetings and ward rounds with other teams, and we received all the contact information we needed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>The types of infections that I came across on the Viet Anh ward rounds were unlike anything I had seen in my UK placements. When clinicians discussed the intricacies of these cases, I initially felt like a fish out of water. However, Dr Joseph and the doctors at HTD always took the time to explain to us the science and reasoning behind what we were seeing, and they answered all of our questions, no matter how simple.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df800e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"df800e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oucru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Me-and-Shrujal-at-OUCRU-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-51361\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oucru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Me-and-Shrujal-at-OUCRU-1.png 678w, https:\/\/www.oucru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Me-and-Shrujal-at-OUCRU-1-300x277.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Nandita and fellow intern Shrujal at OUCRU Ho Chi Minh<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-caa1cd1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"caa1cd1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Once a week, we visited the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) or Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where one of the ward doctors kindly guided us through the patients and explained their cases.

It was an incredible opportunity to meet the PhD students at OUCRU and hear about the interesting and varied projects they were working on.\u00a0<\/p><p>At lunchtime, the PhD students would also give us a crash course on traditional Vietnamese food and snacks, which was very useful knowledge to have when going out to eat!\u00a0<\/p><h4>Exploring Vietnam: friendships, food, and weekend adventures\u00a0<\/h4><p>Outside of placement, I spent time exploring the city and met amazing people from all over the world, many of whom I&#8217;m still in contact with to this day! Even though I came to my elective alone, I left having made friends from OUCRU and my accommodation, so I never felt alone.<\/p><p>I also had the chance to take weekend trips to other parts in the south, such as the Mekong Delta and Vung Tau, and during my final weeks in Vietnam, I travelled to Hanoi and Hoi An.\u00a0<\/p><p>Ho Chi Minh City has a piece of my heart, and I&#8217;m already counting down the days until I can visit again. From the amazing variety of food from banh mi to bun bo hue, and the rich culture I managed to experience through events such as King\u2019s Day and the 50<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary of Reunification Day, my elective has truly been one of the best periods of my life so far.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>I am incredibly grateful to OUCRU for giving me the opportunity to undertake my elective placement at their facility.
