USAID’s Improving Access, Curriculum and Teaching in Medical Education and Emerging Diseases (IMPACT MED) Alliance project is supporting ten medical universities in Vietnam to revamp their medical education from theory to competency-based to ensure that Vietnam produces highly-skilled doctors who can meet the health care needs of Vietnam and the region. On November 20, Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy organized a graduation ceremony for the first graduating class of 400 doctors from the reformed program which was developed with support from USAID. USAID Assistant Administrator for the Asia Bureau, Michael Schiffer attended the event and delivered remarks along with Vietnam’s Minister of Health and Vice Minister of Education & Training.

Medical education reforms are crucial to ensuring that Vietnam’s health care providers can deliver high quality care to citizens and be active partners in addressing global health threats and pandemics.
