Co-organised by the Ministry of Education and Training, the Health Ministry, Hue
University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and the US Agency for International
Development (USAID), the event attracted over 350 domestic and foreign experts
in medical education, lecturers and students, affording them a chance to discuss
progresses in medical education in Vietnam, focusing on tertiary and
post-graduate clinical teaching.
Speaking at the event, deputy head of the Health Ministry’s Department of
Science-Technology and Education Nguyen Minh Loi said over the past five years,
the number of medical staff has grown considerably. Specifically, the number of
doctors per 10,000 people increased from 7.2 in 2010 to over 8 in 2017.
In order to improve medical workforce training quality, the health ministry has
conducted basic and comprehensive reform of medical workforce training by
accessing modern training methods of developed countries.
It will also refine education policy and use medical workforce in a synchronous
way.
Loi said the event outlines a roadmap and detailed clinical curricula, thus
laying a basis for policymaking in the near future.
