Australian Volunteers International and Trinh Foundation Australia is supporting Vietnam’s first speech therapy degree, to start at Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine, in Ho Chi Minh City in September 2010. Students will undertake a two-year postgraduate diploma. I have been invited to be one of the first academics to teach in the course.
The agreement for the course to be established was signed by
- Professor Lindy McAllister, The University of Queensland
- Professor Nguyen Tan Binh, Rector of Pham Ngoc Thach University
- Dr Nguyen Thi Ngoc Dung, Professor of the ENT Department of Pham Ngoc Thach University and Director of ENT Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City
I will be teaching one subject within the course and will be working with the student to establish protocols for the assessment of children's speech as part of my Future Fellowship.
