A Short Course in Advanced Medical Teaching for Talented Hanoi Medical University Graduates.

The Australian Vietnam Medical Foundation of the University of Sydney, in collaboration with Hanoi Medical University (HMU), conducted an Advanced Course in Medical Teaching for talented recent graduates who are expected to become leaders in clinical and academic medicine in Vietnam. The intention was to deliver a part-time course taught in English which would expand their medical horizons, increase their clinical skills and help them modernize their teaching within the HMU curriculum, particularly in specifying undergraduate learning objectives and developing clinical assessment. We report on the aims, content and conduct of the first instalment of the course in Hanoi in 2010-2011.
