Last week, five Harvard Medical School experts trained 200 faculty members from medical schools in Hai Phong, Hue, Thai Nguyen, and Ho Chi Minh City as part of the USAID’s Improving Access, Curriculum and Teaching in Medical Education and Emerging Diseases (IMPACT MED) Alliance project, implemented by the Partnership for Health Advancement in Vietnam (HAIVN). The training focused on teaching skills and assessing learners in a clinical setting; as well as panel discussions and demonstrations. As USAID works to create world class models of higher education in Vietnam, guiding medical faculty to use modern and innovative teaching techniques is necessary for successful medical education reform.
