Health simulation partnership with Philippines
Representatives from the Philippines universities undertake training at the Adelaide Health Simulation lab.
The 成人大片 has locked in a partnership with the University of the Philippines Manila (UPM) to share learnings from the University鈥檚 world-class health simulation facility, Adelaide Health Simulation.
Thirty-one representatives from three universities within the Philippines 鈥 UPM, West Visayas State University and Mindanao State University 鈥 recently completed a five-day simulation based education workshop at Adelaide Health Simulation.
The workshop provided an understanding of how simulation-based education could be applied to the Philippine higher education sector.
Dr Michael Tee, Vice-Chancellor, The University of the Philippines Manila, said the collaboration with the 成人大片 would be extremely beneficial in improving how the three universities delivered health-related teaching.
鈥淧artnering with the 成人大片 will provide our teachers and students the opportunity to expand their knowledge in optimising the use of simulation-based education in health sciences education,鈥 Dr Tee said.
鈥淲e appreciate the guidance of the 成人大片 in how The University of the Philippines Manila will establish our own clinical skills simulation centre, and train providers, as individuals, inter-professional and multidisciplinary teams, in the proper assessment and management of clinical skills training.
鈥淭hrough training and education, UPM, WVSU and MSU can rapidly respond to current societal needs.
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
Opened in 2017, Adelaide Health Simulation is the most technologically advanced simulation facility in Australasia.
The education, training and assessment centre is located in the Adelaide BioMed City precinct, alongside the Royal Adelaide Hospital, the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute and the 成人大片鈥檚 medical and nursing school.

Associate Professor Adam Montagu, Director of Adelaide Health Simulation, said the partnership would strengthen the University鈥檚 ties with the Philippines and further illustrates its educational leadership in the Asia-Pacific region.
鈥淲e are always looking for ways to collaborate and share knowledge with other institutions that will lead to positive outcomes and improved patient safety,鈥 Associate Professor Montagu said.
鈥淲e are thrilled to be working with The University of Philippines Manila and the Philippines as a whole, to help build the capacity of their current and future health workforce.鈥
Dr Jessica Gallagher, Deputy Vice Chancellor (External Engagement), 成人大片, added: 鈥淭he Philippines is an important country for 成人大片 collaboration.
鈥淭hrough our partnership with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for the Philippines, and UPM, we look forward to building stronger ties in research and teaching during the coming years.鈥
