Chulalongkorn University Advances Healthcare Education with ER-VIPE Platform

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 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.

St. Luke’s Launches College of Health Sciences to Train Future Healthcare Professionals

St. Luke's University Health Network is pleased to announce that its newly created St. Luke's College of Health Sciences has begun accepting applications for its inaugural class, which will begin in May 2026. The College, which shares a campus with St. Luke's University Hospital – Bethlehem, is now enrolling students. In addition to its degree-granting programs, the College will also offer general education coursework. Approval to establish the St. Luke's College of Health Sciences was granted in October 2025 by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, marking a strategic step that will shape the future of health care education and workforce development in the Lehigh Valley and beyond. "This is a historic milestone for the Lehigh Valley," said Mary Grace Simcox, EdD, RN, first president of the St. Luke's College of Health Sciences. "The launch of the St. Luke's College of Health Sciences reflects a bold commitment to strengthening our health care workforce by providing an affordable, local pathway to high-demand careers complete with guaranteed clinical placements, hands-on learning, small class sizes, and clear opportunities for professional advancement." Respiratory Care and Radiography classes will be held at the Priscilla Payne Hurd Education Center, while the RN to BSN program will be offered fully online with a curriculum designed to support adult learners seeking non-traditional college experiences. Students will also have access to simulation and skills labs, study areas and library resources. St. Luke's longstanding partnerships with regional colleges and universities will continue. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the health care and social assistance sector is projected to experience the largest job growth of any industry between 2024 and 2034, driven by an aging population and persistent workforce shortages. Meeting this demand requires strong, accessible education pathways. St. Luke's has long been a leader in medical education, operating the oldest School of Nursing in the country, a four-year medical school through The Temple St. Luke's School of Medicine, and offering more than 60 Graduate Medical Education programs. "The launch of the St. Luke's College of Health Sciences reflects St. Luke's ongoing commitment as a national leader in health care education and builds on that foundation," Simcox said. "We are excited to welcome our first class of students and help them start, grow and thrive in a health care career."

Radiographers play a critical role in modern medicine, and trained radiologic technologists are in high demand in hospitals, outpatient centers, and medical practices. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects the demand for radiologic technologists will experience above-average growth over the next decade as openings arise from healthcare advancements and workforce turnover. In Connecticut, an aging population and rising workforce burnout are increasing demand for care and contributing to longer wait times for appointments, underscoring the need for more skilled medical imaging professionals. Goodwin's new Radiography program equips students with the hands-on skills and technical knowledge required to excel in this vital field. Key Features of the Radiography Program: Hands-on clinical training: Students learn to operate x-ray and fluoroscopic equipment, perform digital imaging procedures, and practice radiation protection and quality control. Real-world experience: Clinical placements at healthcare facilities give students the opportunity to work directly with patients and imaging teams in hospitals, clinics, and medical offices. Flexible course schedules: Students can choose a fall start with daytime classes or a spring start with evening and weekend options — making it easier to balance school, work, and family commitments. Small cohort model: Each cohort enrolls up to 12 students, ensuring individualized attention, small-group learning, and close support from faculty. Pathways for advancement: Graduates can continue their education at Goodwin by pursuing a bachelor's degree in Health Science, which can open doors to advanced career opportunities. Goodwin University President Mark E. Scheinberg shared his enthusiasm for the new degree, saying,"We are thrilled to introduce the Radiography associate degree at Goodwin University. Diagnostic imaging is essential to today's healthcare system, and this program will prepare students to enter a high-demand field with the skills and confidence they need to make a meaningful impact on patient care."
