On behalf of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in the US and Hanoi Medical University (HMU), I am pleased to invite you to the workshop introducing the implementation science training programme, \u201cVietnam Implementation Science Advancement \u2013 VISA: A Training Program to Improve HIV Prevention and Care\u201d.
The VISA training programme is a project in Vietnam funded by the US National Institutes of Health and implemented under the cooperation of UNC and HMU. Implementation science is the study of how to increase the uptake of research findings and evidence-based practices by policymakers and health programme leaders to increase their public health impact.
The long-term goals of VISA are to expand the capacity of Vietnamese researchers to conduct implementation science research and to ensure that the broader community of researchers, policymakers, and programme leaders understands and uses implementation science principles to optimise the success and impact of evidence-based interventions implemented in Vietnam. Research faculty participants will come from four universities: HMU, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Policymaker/programme leader participants will come from the same four locations.
This workshop is an exciting opportunity for us to introduce the VISA project. Workshop attendees will also receive an introduction to implementation science concepts, the successes and challenges of expanding HIV programmes globally and in Vietnam, and how we can optimise the implementation of evidence-based interventions in Vietnam. The workshop will be led by faculty experts in implementation science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Hanoi Medical University.
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the workshop. The logistical details of the event are as follows:
Organisers:
Hanoi Medical University and The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (USA)
