September 1, 2019 — The UP Manila College of Nursing took part in the 2019 Mahasarakham University (MSU) International Educational Fair held in Mahasarakham, Thailand from August 14-16, 2019 that was attended by university representatives from Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and 200 MSU students. It was an opportunity to network and promote the programs of UP Manila among Asian Universities who showed interest in visiting the University for possible research collaborations and overseas training.
UP Manila has an existing Memorandum of Agreement with MSU that began in 2018 with the visit to UPCN of the MSU Faculty of Nursing Dean on the possibility of putting together a short overseas program for their students and faculty that involves observership and preceptorship in both the hospital and community learning environments of UPCN.
The MSU has already planned to send its students to UP Diliman for English courses and its public health faculty to the programs offered by the UP Manila College of Public Health.
The activity was spearheaded by MSU Acting Vice President Associate Professor Dr. Prayook Srivilai and Assistant Professor Dr. Theerayuth Chatchanayeunyong, Vice President for Research and International Affairs.
