In 2003, the University of Hawai'i Department of Family Medicine & Community Health entered a 4-year cooperative agreement with the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration to establish the "Pacific Association for Clinical Training" (PACT). PACT's goal is to develop effective distance education methods to improve the education and skills of healtcare professionals in the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Island nations. To determine the situation existing in 2004, one of PACT's first projects was to perform site visits to each jurisdiction, conducting needs assessments through interviews with key healtcare professionals, hospital administrators, and government officials. This article highlights findings of PACT's American Samoa assessment. Meant to establish a baseline for future reference, all data are those collected in 2004/2005 and have not been updated.
2003年，夏威夷大学家庭医学与社区卫生系与美国卫生资源与服务管理局签订了一项为期4年的合作协议，以建立“太平洋临床培训协会”（PACT）。PACT的目标是开发有效的远程教育方法，以提高美国附属太平洋岛屿国家医疗保健专业人员的教育水平和技能。为了确定2004年的现状，PACT的首批项目之一是对每个管辖区进行实地考察，通过与关键医疗保健专业人员、医院管理人员和政府官员访谈来进行需求评估。本文重点介绍了PACT对美属萨摩亚评估的结果。为建立未来参考的基线，所有数据均为2004年/2005年收集的，未作更新。
