The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 98.001 - USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to support the "USAID Advancing Medical Licensing Activity in Viet Nam". The project aims to build capacity for designing, writing, validating, and testing licensing examination questions to prepare universities and training institutions for Vietnam's new National Licensing Exam (NLE) for medical doctors. Key objectives include developing a test blueprint, training Vietnamese faculty to create and pilot test exam questions, supporting the development of standard practices and policies for exam implementation, and providing technical assistance to the Ministry of Health as they deploy and manage the NLE. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) was selected as a sub-grantee to support the in-country project activities and build relationships with Vietnamese partners like the Ministry of Health.
