- Description: An IASP education grant funded the delivery of free mirror therapy workshops to medical providers in Vietnam in November/December 2011. An online portal was developed for patient and provider use to allow tracking of patient outcomes from the U.S. Dr. Darnall developed and delivered the workshop content. Workshops were delivered in Can Tho (11/26/11), Dong Ha (11/30/11), and Hanoi (12/3/11). Data were collected to determine the educational value of these workshops. The mirror therapy workshop training marked the first time mirror therapy was formally introduced to healthcare practitioners in Vietnam. Workshop attendees included anesthesiologists, physiotherapists, oncologists, physicians, and staff of the Quang Tri Department of Health. Collaborators included: Dr. Do Than Huy and Dr. Tuan Anh Nguyen.
