The signing was attended by key figures from both institutions, including Shearwater Health's Chief Operating Officer and Country Manager, Anshum Sinha, Vice President for Talent Acquisition, Jenina Borlaza, FEU's Executive Director, Generoso Pamittan Jr., and Director for Academic Affairs, Stephen Jay Co. The agreement represents the foundation of a collaborative effort to supplement senior high school students' education with practical insights and experiences in the healthcare sector, with a particular focus on the Health Information Management Systems (HIMS) industry.
A dedicated team of trainers from Shearwater Health, led by Aubrey Antiojo-Virly, RN, CPC, Shella Ann Asidera, CLDP, CLSSGB, and Kristofferson De Leon, has developed a comprehensive module to supplement students' academic knowledge with hands-on experience. The initiative aims to prepare students for the changing demands of the healthcare business by exposing them to real-world implementations of classroom topics.
Anshum Sinha, Shearwater Health's COO and Country Manager, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "It’s great that we were able to finalize or formalize the partnership with FEU where we will inculcate, train, and educate their 2nd year senior high school students on the HIMS sector. This way, when they are ready to graduate, they will have the option to choose which part of the industry they want to go to, whether they want to go to bedside nursing or they can come join the flourishing HIMS industry in the Philippines as well."
Highlighting the significance of the collaboration, Shearwater Health Sourcing Specialist Paolo Bayangos shared, "As early as them being in high school, it’s good for them to see or hear that they are choosing to work in the medical field. Hopefully, this will serve as a starter in order for them to achieve more, so that by the time they graduate from college they will be ready."
From FEU's perspective, STEM Coordinator Bryan Cabuenas emphasized the future-ready approach of the program, "We want our students to be future-ready, specifically in the field of telemedicine and nursing informatics, for them to be able to show their skills and knowledge in their chosen field."
This strategic partnership between Shearwater Health and FEU High School is poised to set a new standard for combining educational programs with industry-specific training, ensuring that students are not only academically proficient but also have the skills and experiences they need to thrive in the healthcare industry.
