PacMar, Inc. - Hue School of Nursing Training Program

HUE SCHOOL OF NURSING TRAINING PROGRAM

Client: The Freeman Foundation

Location: Hue, Vietnam. Honolulu, Hawaii

Industry: Healthcare, Training & Human Resources Development

Project Summary: This ongoing Project is funded by the Freeman Foundation to the University of Hawaii (UHM) School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene and coordinated by PacMar, Inc. The two-year Project will provide medical faculty teaching nursing at the University of Hue, Vietnam (UHV) with learning equipment and the opportunity to gain skills to improve their ability to teach nursing. In addition, the project aims to begin a long-term relationship with the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene and UHV to foster student and faculty exchanges and future projects.

Project Outcome: When completed, the project will provide the faculty teaching nursing at the UHV with the knowledge and support to independently develop and teach future nursing curriculums. They can also then serve as trainers for other colleges and universities in Vietnam. This “train the trainer” approach means the lessons learned by this group will be shared with others throughout Vietnam. The long-term goal is to develop a cadre of educated nurses who will assume the teaching and leadership roles in academic settings. A secondary goal is to establish a relationship between the UHV and UHM nursing programs where student and faculty exchanges could occur and collaboration on future projects of mutual interest and benefit will be fostered.
