[March 22, 2018] - Health Volunteers Overseas is pleased to announce the launch of a new nursing education project at Hai Duong Medical and Technical University (HMTU) in Hai Duong, Vietnam. Partnering with HMTU nursing faculty, HVO volunteers will support the development and implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum for nursing – a learning model that applies active student learning and critical thinking skills to solve clinical problems. HVO volunteers will mentor faculty and improve the knowledge and skills of faculty and students at HMTU.

Volunteers will collaborate with HMTU faculty to review the CBC curriculum and provide consultation on how to improve the CBC self-study, teaching and assessment guidelines. HVO volunteers will also provide lectures and clinical training based on topics outlined by HMTU. In order to help advance the skills of the HMTU faculty as educators, volunteers will model various teaching methodologies through their lectures and provide continuing education workshops to develop the teaching skills of HMTU faculty .

HVO’s nursing education projects are supported by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) .
