Kaliurang (UII News) – Six FK UII students have returned to campus after attending an elective block lecture at CUCMS, Malaysia. This exchange activity is the first time that FK UII has offered to students.

This was conveyed by Vitia Ajeng Nur Linda when coming home from Cyber ​​jaya University College of Medical Science (CUCMS) Malaysia on Monday, 02 Dzulhijah 1437 H / 04 September 2016 with his five friends namely Sholihatun Marda'in (13711070), Andra Gita Aruumsari (13711114), Dellarious Benefit Yubaidi (13711124), Hifzhan Maulana Ghiffari (13711092), Fauzan Nuha Muhammad (13711126)

Further conveyed by Vitia, that on August 8 2016, FK UII students with dr.Diani Puspa Wijaya and dr.Muhammad Kharisma attended a welcoming and introduction event from CUCMS represented by Prof. Dato'. Dr. Abd Rahim bin Mohamad as dean of MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery), Assoc Prof. Husni Jamil and Mdm. Nur Ain Mahat as head of the REBM course.  

Furthermore, the introductory lecture began on August 9 2016, with the material studied by students on Research and Evidence Based Medicine for four weeks, in the third week students received material on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) delivered by the Malaysian Health Government.

Expert lectures are given by CUCMS lecturers and guest lectures from Malaysia. The language of instruction for teaching and learning at CUSMC uses English, "this is recognized by the students as a challenge in receiving and understanding the material, because so far the language of instruction for UII FK students while studying is Indonesian," said Vitia

He further said that apart from expert lectures, medical students are also required to work on several individual and group assignments in the form of critical appreciation and preparation of research proposals then presented at the end of the week. Each student from FK UII is spread over several groups, so they can exchange information about UII and CUCMS.      

As with the lecture process, all UII Medical students are required to take an exam which is held at the end of the week, "to coincide with September 2 2016 which lasted two hours Tuesday from 09.00-11.00, the exam consisted of two types of multiple choice and a short essay", said Vitia.

 Furthermore, after the exam, six FK UII students were asked to meet with Prof. Dato'. Dr. Abd Rahim bin Mohamad and Mdm. Nur Ain Mahat to discuss and evaluate learning at CUCMS. In the afternoon students were also asked to meet Prof. Dr. Muhamed Hatta Shaharom as senior professor and Prof. Dato'. Dr. Abd Rahim bin Mohamad to say goodbye.  Wibowo
