Second year Bachelor SALT students from Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy have attended their first clinical placement earlier this year. Small groups of students were placed across two local hospitals in Da Nang, where students spent a week observing local VN speech therapists working in their speech therapy roles, servicing children with communication and swallowing disorders. Students really enjoyed their first opportunity to engage with real patients and talk with speech therapists working in settings across Da Nang. TFA and DUMTP would like to sincerely thank Dr Ty, Head of Rehabilitation at Da Nang Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and Mr Ha, Speech Therapist/Physiotherapist at Da Nang Rehabilitation Hospital who supported the Bachelor SALT students so well during their observational placements.
