Viet Nam now officially has the first 14 speech and language therapists with Masters' degrees (MSALTs)

Email received today from Nguyễn Thị Thanh Thủy celebrating a huge milestone in Vietnam

Dear Prof Lindy, Dr. Ben and all the Australian supervisors, 

As you know, the MSALT [Masters in Speech and Language Therapy] thesis defense on the 3rd and 5th Nov was fruitful and finished with good results that all the 14 MSALT students passed and will be awarded with MSALT degrees. On behalf of MCNV and UMP [University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City], I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for your intensive support for the past two years with the students' theses and for your attendance and support for the students in their defense sessions. Your attendance valued a lot to them and was meaningful to MCNV as a partner of TFA [Trinh Foundation Australia] in this ST [speech therapy] education project. VN now officially has the first 14 MSALTs. We hope that this group can contribute to the development of the ST profession in VN [Viet Nam]. 

With best regards, Thanh Thuy from MCNV https://mcnv.org/
