Since 2004 a group of Good Samaritan health care professionals from the United States had been assisting Hue College of Medicine and Pharmacy with the training of their students and physicians. Starting in 2006 the focus of this group has been primarily in Emergency Medicine to meet the growing needs of the country in delivering emergent medical care to a young and growing population.
Each year since then a team of Emergency Physicians and Critical Care specialists sponsored a clinical symposium at the college. Topics ranging from Pre-Hospital Emergency Care to Trauma to Advanced Cardiac Life Support with certification from the American Heart Association. Hands on clinical laboratories provided invaluable skills for clinicians, immediately improving the care given to their patients.
The First National Emergency Medicine Symposium is scheduled for March 22-26, 2010 in Hue. Sixty Emergency Medicine Physicians from Europe, Australia, United States are converging in Hue for this major event. Click HERE for more information.
In the Fall of 2010 Hue College of Medicine and Pharmacy plans to offer the first Emergency Medicine Specialist Level I training in the country and these Good Samaritans are pleased to support this most exciting and important educational effort of the school and other medical educational institutions around the country.
We welcome all individuals and organizations working to further Emergency Medicine to join us in bringing excellent Emergency Care to the country and people of Vietnam.
