From October 16-20, five Harvard Medical School experts trained 200 faculty members from medical schools in Hai Phong, Hue, Thai Nguyen, and Ho Chi Minh City. These medical schools are partners of USAID’s Improving Access, Curriculum and Teaching in Medical Education and Emerging Diseases (IMPACT MED) Alliance, which is revamping medical education curriculum and teaching approaches to produce graduates with the skills and knowledge to address current and future health challenges. The training focused on teaching skills and assessing learners in a clinical setting; as well as panel discussions and demonstrations. The experts also provided specific feedback to participants in a clinical context, and showed them how to engage with students in the learning process to apply real experience and collaborate with other students instead of only relying on faculty. So what? 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.
