Abstract
was selected as the VH-ATTC hub, as it is the country’s leading institution in coordinating curriculum development in many fields of medicine and public health. UCLA provides consultation to HMU in developing a plan to become a self-sustaining training and technical assistance resource. Outcomes & Evaluation: The VH-ATTC has succeeded in building the capacity to develop a skilled and knowledgeable local workforce by establishing: master trainers with considerable technical knowledge and capabilities, an abundance of Vietnamese language materials, resources and curricula, and a website, newsletter and listserv. The VH-ATTC has been designated as a national training institution, and its staff members have provided technical assistance to clinics in more than 10 provinces. Evaluation activities are designed to determine whether the VH-ATTC is effectively providing ongoing workforce development and training resources, andmeetingU.S.Government (GPRA) reporting requirements. Since its inception, the VH-ATTC team has carried out more than 60 trainings, 15 lectures on addiction science, and two large conferences; far exceeding projected GPRA targets (380+% of goal). Going Forward: During Phase II, a second high-functioning VHATTC will be created in southern Vietnam at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy. The priority of this project is to expand training and technical assistance resources throughout Vietnam and strengthen the capacity of the addiction services system. The VH-ATTC at HMU will play a substantial role in mentoring the South VH-ATTC in the foundation components of a newly established VH-ATTC. By the end of the current work plan, each university will “own” their VH-ATTC, and will have developed a plan to generate revenue for sustainability beyond the project period.
