BANGKOK, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Medicine has developed ER-VIPE, a virtual emergency-room simulation platform designed to strengthen teamwork, communication, and critical-thinking skills among future healthcare professionals. Supported by the university's Second Century Fund (C2F) since 2020, the program enables students from five disciplines—medicine, nursing, pharmacy, radiologic technology, and medical technology—to train together through high-pressure emergency scenarios that mirror real clinical challenges. ER-VIPE Simulation Game Builds Medical Students’ Soft Skills for Real-World Emergency Care ER-VIPE is integrated into the Interprofessional Collaboration for Patient Safety course held at the Chulalongkorn Healthcare Advanced Multi-Profession Simulation Center. Players assume different professional roles through avatars and work as a team to triage and treat diverse cases under strict time limits. Although game-based, the training emphasizes serious skill-building: leadership, clear communication, mutual support, and situational awareness, based on TeamSTEPPS—an internationally recognized framework for improving patient-safety outcomes. Asst. Prof. Dr. Khuansiri Narajeenron, the creator of ER-VIPE, stresses that strong clinical skills alone are not enough. "If we don't communicate or see the bigger picture, medical errors will occur," she said, noting that collaborative thinking remains a global challenge in healthcare. Research from the program shows improved teamwork, reduced stress, better communication, and increased resilience among students who train with ER-VIPE. The platform was developed through interdisciplinary collaboration, including Architecture, Engineering, and Communication Arts, to accurately map emergency-room workflows. ER-VIPE currently features three patented scenes: a COVID-era respiratory-failure case, cardiac ischemia requiring resuscitation, and a crowded ER scenario emphasizing patient flow, prioritization, and cross-disciplinary coordination. National-level gamers, pre-clinical students, and even administrators have been able to use the system after a brief orientation. The training has expanded beyond undergraduates to include first-year medical residents, graduate students, and multidisciplinary hospital staff. The program has demonstrated significant benefits, including shifts from "silo thinking" to system-based thinking and measurable reductions in treatment errors. Interest has also grown among rural-doctor training programs, highlighting ER-VIPE's potential to support nationwide healthcare development. A fourth scene—focused on accidents in older adults, including ethical considerations and AI-based soft-skill assessment—is now underway with support from the Chulalongkorn Innovation Fund. Expected to be completed this year, it will be the world's first simulation of its kind. Ultimately, ER-VIPE aims to cultivate healthcare teams who communicate better, think together, and deliver safer, more effective care.

HARBIN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 January 2026 - On 10 January, the inaugural "HIT-Cambridge-Oxford Cup" Ice Dragon Boat International Friendship Race was held in Harbin, China's "Ice City". Fourteen teams participated, representing University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), other C9 League universities, as well as institutions from Hong Kong and Macao, competing in this exhilarating event. The opening ceremony of "HIT-Cambridge-Oxford Cup" Ice Dragon Boat International Friendship Race "This is incredible!" said Edward Townsend, a Cambridge student, his cheeks rosy from the cold wind and his eyes gleaming with excitement after an intense ice dragon boat race. "In the UK, the lowest temperature is around -5°C, but here it's over -20°C. At first, we had no idea about ice dragon boating, but it's more than just physical; it's a test of teamwork. We've rowed on the River Cam, but this is our first time racing dragon boats on ice in China." "The biggest challenge is the technique difference. Ice dragon boating tests your core and upper body, while water rowing is more about the legs," said Daniel Foran from Oxford. "But this challenge brought us closer as a team, and the HIT coaches were incredibly supportive, showing us how to use our strength effectively." "HIT-Cambridge-Oxford Cup" Ice Dragon Boat International Friendship Race "Ice dragon boating has really shown me how sports can bring the world closer, making distance feel almost irrelevant," said Na Boshi, a student at HIT who is competing in his third ice dragon boat race. "In the past, the event was mainly an opportunity to connect with students and faculty from other C9 universities in China. This year, however, it felt even more exciting, as we welcomed teams from Oxford, Cambridge, and universities in Hong Kong and Macao. HIT's athletic programmes are becoming increasingly international, creating an incredible platform for cultural exchange and mutual learning." "In Chinese culture, the dragon boat symbolises unity, progress, and excellence, values that resonate with the British ideals of courage, courtesy, and responsibility," said Chen Jie, HIT Party Secretary. "Although China and the UK are at opposite ends of the Eurasian continent, this event bridges Oxford and Cambridge's century-old rowing tradition with HIT's engineering legacy and fosters cultural understanding between our youth." Beyond the competition, the cultural exchange was equally vibrant. Participants had the chance to visit Harbin Ice-Snow World, feed Siberian tigers up close, taste traditional Northeast Chinese cuisine, and explore the century-old Chinese Baroque district. These immersive experiences gave the foreign students a new and deeper understanding of China. As a leading engineering university in China, HIT's hosting of the event was more than a sports competition; it was an effort to explore new pathways for opening up higher education in today's complex international landscape.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when nearly 1 in 5 students nationally fails to complete high school on time and young adults without a diploma face significantly higher unemployment and housing insecurity, MindHYVE.ai™ participated in Miracle University's "Multiply the Miracle" community fundraiser in Sacramento—reinforcing its commitment to education equity, dropout prevention, and student empowerment. MindHYVE.ai™ × Miracle University: Where Education, AI, and Opportunity Meet The event brought together educators, community leaders, donors, and students in support of Miracle University's mission to address the dropout crisis through alternative, holistic education models serving non-traditional and at-risk learners. Leadership Engagement and a Shared Sense of Urgency MindHYVE Founder & CEO Bill Faruki joined Miracle University leadership for an engagement focused on relationship-building, student connection, and long-term impact. During the visit, Mr. Bill Faruki met with Dr. Raja, Founder and President of Miracle University, to discuss the institution's role in stabilizing students' lives amid challenges that extend far beyond the classroom. National research consistently shows that students experiencing homelessness, foster care placement, or justice-system exposure are two to three times more likely to disengage from traditional education systems. Miracle University's model directly addresses these realities by combining education with wraparound support, mentorship, and community connection. "Institutions like Miracle University are not just educating students—they are interrupting cycles of instability," said Bill Faruki. "When students are supported as whole people, education becomes a powerful force for transformation." Student Engagement and AI Literacy for the Future Workforce As part of the visit, Bill Faruki led an interactive, two-hour session with Miracle University students focused on: An introduction to artificial intelligence and emerging technologies Real-world applications of AI in education and future careers How personal interests, creativity, and lived experience can translate into opportunity The conversation comes at a critical moment: studies estimate that over 60% of future jobs will require some level of digital or AI fluency, yet access to emerging technology education remains deeply uneven across socioeconomic lines. Bill emphasized that students' backgrounds are not limitations—but differentiators—especially in a world increasingly shaped by technology, ethics, and human-centered innovation. Following the session, MindHYVE leadership engaged in one-on-one conversations with students who shared personal journeys shaped by housing insecurity, foster care, and systemic instability—stories that reflect national trends but are too often invisible in traditional education settings. Community Celebration and Student Achievement The visit concluded with Miracle University's "Multiply the Miracle" holiday celebration, featuring student performances, testimonials, and community fellowship. The program highlighted student success stories—graduates who have transitioned into higher education, career pathways, and renewed stability through Miracle University's programs. These outcomes are especially significant given that students who return to education after dropping out are statistically far more likely to persist when enrolled in alternative, relationship-driven learning environments like Miracle University's. During the event, Faruki was formally recognized for his ongoing engagement and support of the university's mission.
