The Exchange Fellowship Program represents a cornerstone of REI's mission to build people who build nations. This fall, I had the privilege of hosting two exceptional physicians from Vietnam: Dr. Quynh Anh Nguyen from the Department of Otolaryngology at Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi, and Dr. Huu Ngoc Minh Phan from the Department of Otolaryngology at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Their four-week fellowship at Duke University Medical Center, from October 13 to November 6, 2025, exemplified the transformative potential of this program . . .
