Symposium
We just held our first symposium for doctors and nurses yesterday.
We had 90
people attending and 3
lecturers.
Our talks covered management of diabetes and hypertension and we presented our algorithms for treatment in
central Viet Nam.
We had
Dr.
B
rian Penti from Boston and Dr.
Jocelyn Nava from the
Philippines helping us with the
talks. The
symposium went well.
We are planning to
have them every 2 to 3
months and cover a
curriculum of general diseases of adulthood.

Having a chance to participate in the teaching session that Josh Solomon, Nancy Nguyen, and Luu Phuoc An arranged for vietnamese doctors was a wonderful experience. The group, after having worked with a number of Vietnamese doctors, were able to provide a meaningful session on very specific problems (diabetes and hypertension), with practical solutions that consider both cultural and economical factors. It's been a pleasure to learn about the meaningful work they have been doing in Hoi An...
WOW, what an incredible project with an amazing turnout. We're excited to follow Dr. Solomon's public health initiatives, hear about patient care, and learn more about the Foundation's progress through this blog! Great idea!
