Within the framework of the project “Collaborative Training to Enhance Research Capacity on Violence Prevention and Control in Vietnam” (CONVERGE) – a 5-year cooperative project between the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health and Emory University, USA, the Emory University research team conducted their first official working visit to Vietnam from 8 November to 14 November 2022.
In its first year, the project successfully selected 4 doctoral trainees from Hanoi Medical University, Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City to participate in the postdoctoral training program on gender-based violence and child violence prevention and control in Vietnam. The trainees attended various courses and training activities of the project, notably an intensive 1-month training course at Emory University. This visit and working session aimed to provide intensive mentoring for advisors, instructors, and the first cohort of postdoctoral trainees on implementing and supervising research activities, evaluating activity progress, and discussing the outcomes achieved in the first project year.
Additionally, during this visit, the experts held exchange and discussion sessions with the School's leadership and departments to formulate the action plan for the second project year at the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health.
Below are some photos from the working visit of the Emory University expert delegation to the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health.
