Far Eastern University (FEU) and UCLA Joe C. Wen College of Nursing are prepared to implement simulation pedagogy in the two institutions, following formal discussions with FEU Nursing Dean Dr. Moira Uy, UCLA Joe C. Wen College of Nursing Dean Dr. Lin Zhan, and FEU associate department chair for simulation Neugene Cu recently in the US.
Zhan credited Dr. Emma Cuenca, their pre-licensure program director, for facilitating this collaboration that has “helped establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance simulation pedagogy through knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the pursuit of excellence in nursing education.”
Cuenca, an FEU Nursing alumna, has been working with FEU Nursing to facilitate the forging of the partnership, with the MOU being executed in July 2023.
Meanwhile, Cu underwent an intensive three-day training at the UCLA Simulation Center, sealing his qualification as a UCLA trained and certified Global Simulation partner. Cu now leads FEU’s Virtual Integrated Nursing Education Simulation programs, which are comparable with those of UCLA. His training was made possible through the support of the Felicidad D. Elegado Endowment program, a project of the FEU Nursing Alumni Foundation USA, Inc.
