This morning, May 24, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Lien Huong, leaders of the Center for Education Quality Assessment (Vinh University) awarded the Certificate of Quality Assessment for the undergraduate Pharmacy training program of the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine.
At the ceremony, Associate Professor Nguyen Quoc Huy, Director of the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine and Pharmacy, said that the academy is training 3 undergraduate majors (traditional medicine, medicine and pharmacy); 7 postgraduate majors.
From 2022, the academy will be the first university in Vietnam to open two specialized majors: acupuncture and pharmacology, traditional medicine in the direction of specialized training in pharmacy at traditional medicine clinics.
Lecturers from the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine and Pharmacy exchange experiences in teaching some specialties of traditional medicine abroad.
The Ministry of Health is approving a project to put the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine and Pharmacy on the list of key universities in the national traditional medicine sector. This is a premise for the academy to implement the project of a second facility, with a scale of 17 hectares in Quoc Oai District (Hanoi) in the near future.
Many traditional medicine training facilities do not follow standards.
Also this morning, a workshop to provide comments on the Draft list of specialized training in Traditional Medicine was held by the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine.
At the workshop, Associate Professor Trinh Thi Dieu Huong (representative of the Department of Traditional Medicine Management, Ministry of Health), assessed that many traditional medicine training programs have not been accredited according to prescribed standards, and there is no national framework for training traditional medicine doctors, therefore, the training programs for traditional medicine doctors between schools are not synchronized.
Many lecturers have not been trained to teach according to output standards, competency standards, and new teaching methods. Many training facilities do not meet the requirements, especially the lack of conditions for teaching according to new trends (smart classrooms, IT systems). Notably, many training facilities have not divided specialties in traditional medicine training. This reality affects the quality of doctors when practicing, affecting their expertise when practicing.
According to the Ministry of Health, the number of traditional medicine training facilities is increasing, including public and non-public facilities. However, the training programs, facilities, quality of teaching staff, quality of students, especially the way of implementing the training program, and the training organization capacity of the facilities are not uniform, so the capacity of traditional medicine graduates is also different.
Therefore, from 2022, the Ministry of Health has stipulated that traditional medicine training schools and doctors must meet the standards prescribed by the Ministry of Health to limit and overcome the situation of providing poor quality or erroneous medical services due to lack of professional capacity.
According to the Ministry of Health's competency standards for traditional medicine doctors, traditional medicine doctors must meet five standards: practicing according to the provisions of law; practicing according to professional ethics standards; practicing in accordance with actual cultural, economic and social conditions; lifelong learning for personal and professional development; establishing a safe and effective working environment.
Accordingly, traditional medicine doctors only practice within the scope of their licensed expertise; report violations in their expertise and practice to competent authorities and are personally responsible for such reports.
Traditional medicine doctors must take personal responsibility for making decisions and interventions to care for the health of patients and the community; recognize risks affecting patient safety in medical examination, treatment and care; respect patients and keep confidential information related to patients.
At the same time, information may only be disclosed when the patient agrees or to share information to improve the quality of diagnosis, treatment, and care with practitioners in the group directly treating the patient or in other cases prescribed by law.
