Lac Hong University presents two scientific papers at the 10th National Conference on Medical Education – VAMEX 2026

On November 6–7, 2026, Lac Hong University (LHU) had two scientific papers selected for presentation at the 10th National Conference on Medical Education – VAMEX 2026, hosted by Phenikaa University in Hanoi. The studies focused on data-driven learning outcome assessment and continuous quality improvement management in accordance with AUN-QA standards, contributing practical insights and experiences in quality assurance for health sciences education.

Sharing research findings at a national academic forum

The 10th National Conference on Medical Education – VAMEX 2026 served as an academic forum for administrators, experts, lecturers, and researchers in medical education to exchange experiences, share research findings, and promote innovation in healthcare professional training.

At the conference, Lac Hong University presented two scientific papers jointly conducted by Ms. Ngo Dinh Hoang Diem, M.A., Deputy Head of the Office of Educational Testing and Quality Assurance, and Mr. Doan Van Vien, M.A., from the Faculty of Pharmacy.

The two papers highlighted the collaboration between academic departments and the university's quality assurance unit in researching, implementing, and continuously improving academic program quality.

Two scientific papers on Learning Outcome Assessment and Quality Improvement

The first paper, entitled “From AUN-QA Assessment to Reassessment: A Continuous Quality Improvement Management Framework for the Undergraduate Pharmacy Program,” shared experiences in managing quality improvement within the pharmacy program across two AUN-QA assessment cycles in 2021 and 2026.

The second paper, entitled “Data-Driven Learning Outcome Assessment: A Framework for Curriculum Improvement Based on the Outcomes-Based Education Approach,” focused on leveraging student assessment data and applying artificial intelligence (AI) to measure the attainment of learning outcomes and provide evidence to support curriculum improvement.

Both studies contributed to sharing Lac Hong University's experiences in implementing outcomes-based education, promoting data- and evidence-driven quality management, and advancing continuous improvement in alignment with regional quality assurance standards.

Aligning research activities with the Sustainable Development Goals

Lac Hong University's participation in VAMEX 2026 and the presentation of its research findings demonstrated the university's commitment to enhancing educational quality, promoting applied research, and contributing knowledge to the higher education community.

These efforts align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

• SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being: Contributing to the improvement of healthcare workforce education to better meet the needs of community healthcare and public health protection.

• SDG 4 – Quality Education: Promoting innovation in learning outcome assessment, evidence-based education, and continuous curriculum improvement.

• SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Encouraging the application of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies in education and quality management.

• SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals: Strengthening knowledge sharing, academic exchanges, and collaboration among educational institutions.

Continuing to Foster a Culture of Quality and Academic Integration

Through its research activities and scientific presentations at VAMEX 2026, Lac Hong University reaffirmed its commitment to advancing data-driven, evidence-based education and continuous quality improvement.

The conference also provided valuable opportunities for faculty members and quality assurance professionals to expand academic exchanges, stay informed about emerging trends, and share experiences with the national medical education community.

These activities contribute to fostering a culture of quality, enhancing the quality of health sciences education, and strengthening the university's contributions to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
