Medical Science Weeks at FK UII

Student Executive Institute (LEM) Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Indonesia held three kinds of competitions in the context of Medical Science Week on Saturday (12/3/11). The three types of competitions held included the English Debate, the Biology Olympiad and the Musabaqah Syarhil Qur'an (MSQ). The competition was attended by representatives of 20 public and private high schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java. Delegations from outside Yogyakarta, among others, were present from Klaten and Sragen. Representatives from each school appeared to be present accompanied by their respective supervisors.

MSW was opened by the Deputy Dean of FK UII, dr. Point Kuntari, MPH. In his remarks, Dr. Titik expressed his hope that this competition forum could increase the spirit of competition for race participants. In addition, it is hoped that the Biology Olympiad, English Debate and MSQ competitions will also increase interest, curiosity and love for biology because biology is a very important basic science that studies living things, especially for students who aspire to become doctors. Also the enthusiasm to improve foreign language skills because we have entered an era of openness, an era of global communication so that foreign language skills are one of the important assets, and most importantly the enthusiasm to learn and practice the teachings in the Qur'an as the main guideline for Muslims. So between scientific knowledge and religious teachings should not be separated.

Head of LEM FK UII Andri Marchoni and head of DPM FK UII Erwin Aritama said that this activity had been held for the third time. In the future, it is hoped that this activity will become an annual routine agenda for LEM FK UII. Apart from that, one of the aims of MSW is to introduce FK UII to the public, especially the contestants.

According to the head of the committee Russy, this year's MSW was held in the courtroom, tutorial discussion room and FK UII's computer laboratory as well as several rooms at the UII Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning (FTSP).

In addition to participating in the competition, contest participants and supervisors took part in the Tour de FK guided by the LEM and DPM FK UII administrators to see the various educational rooms and facilities that support teaching and learning activities at FK UII.
