Adelaide Health Simulation
The 成人大片 is collaborating with a number of Filipino universities, including the University of Philippines Manila, West Visayas State University and Mindanao State University, on a simulation-based education program funded by the Commission on Higher Education, Philippines.
In 2022, 31 representatives from the three universities attended a听five-day simulation-based workshop听at the 成人大片鈥檚 world-class simulation facility, Adelaide Health Simulation. This workshop provided an understanding of how simulation-based education could be applied to the higher education sector in the Philippines.
鈥淎delaide Health Simulation is a great resource that will allow us to train our next generation of health professionals in the Philippines,鈥 said Dr Michael Tee, Vice-Chancellor, University of the Philippines Manila.

Train the Trainer
Since 2022, the 成人大片鈥檚 (UoA) School of Economics and Public Policy has hosted staff from Vietnam's听听(NEU) in the 'Train the Trainer' program.听
Under the Program, NEU staff members are immersed in the Australian higher education academic and research environment, matched to a mentor from the same or a similar academic field, and presented with opportunities to observe and participate in teaching and research. Each participant is also enrolled in UoA courses to gain insights into their chosen academic field. Aside from providing an opportunity for NEU staff to experience teaching and research delivery at UoA, the Program further builds upon the positive relationship between the two institutions and explores joint research opportunities.听听听听
Seven participants participated in the program in 2024.听

"This initiative contributes to the ongoing effort to achieve Universal Health Care in the Philippines by ensuring healthcare professionals are equipped with critical skills to navigate contemporary healthcare challenges," said Associate Professor Edoardo Aromataris, Synthesis Science Director at JBI.听
JBI is working closely with the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute and the Center for Health Research and Movement Science at the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines. This partnership ensures the program is tailored to local contexts and priorities while aligning with international best practices.
The Center for Health Research and Movement Science is a member of the JBI Collaboration, a global collaborative evidence network comprising more than 90 entities across more than 40 countries which drives JBI's worldwide effort to promote and support the use of the best available evidence to inform decisions made at the point of care.
