In 2009 emergency medicine had not been officially established as a specialty in Vietnam. As a result of a non-government organization identifying the need to improve the delivery of emergency care, the Vietnam2010 Symposium in Emergency Medicine was held in Hue in March 2010. This involved 1 week of activity including: an Emergency Medicine Conference, providing lectures and practical workshops in topics of emergency medicine; a Deans' Conference, dedicated to the development of emergency medicine as a specialty; a Disaster and EMS Conference; and an Emergency Nursing Conference. Vietnam2010 was a high impact event and was successful in raising the profile of emergency medicine. It formalized key international linkages, showcased the role of the knowledge and skills relevant to emergency care and provided the impetus for emergency medicine specialization in Vietnam. A consensus document committing to the development of emergency medicine as a specialty in Vietnam was signed by multiple national and international governmental, university and emergency medicine representatives. Challenges included a tendency for international flagbearers from mature systems to promote the specialty according to local expectations, with a consequent emphasis on vertical specialty topics and on technology, and the running of medical and nursing conferences separately. Vietnam now needs a medium-term plan to develop the specialty to ensure these initial steps are translated into a sustainable capacity to provide emergency care nationally.
2009 年，急诊医学尚未在越南正式成为一个专业。由于一个非政府组织发现需要改进急诊护理服务，因此于 2010 年 3 月在顺化举行了越南 2010 年急诊医学研讨会。这涉及一周的活动，包括：急诊医学会议，提供急诊医学相关主题的讲座和实践工作坊；院长会议，致力于急诊医学作为一个专业的发展；灾害和应急医疗服务会议；以及急诊护理会议。越南 2010 年是一次具有重大影响的活动，成功地提高了急诊医学的知名度。它正式建立了关键的国际联系，展示了与急诊护理相关的知识和技能的作用，并为越南的急诊医学专业化提供了动力。一份承诺将急诊医学作为越南一个专业发展的共识文件，由多个国家和国际政府、大学和急诊医学代表签署。挑战包括成熟系统的国际旗手倾向于根据当地期望来推广该专业，因此强调垂直专业主题和技术，以及医疗和护理会议分开举行。越南现在需要一个中期计划来发展该专业，以确保这些初步步骤转化为在全国范围内提供急诊护理的可持续能力。
