Special entry for UNSRI - Sriwijaya med students !

We visited the Sriwijaya med school on Monday. We met the Dean and his staff and we were briefed about their course and of course ; our med students there. They;ve implemented the integrated system and lingua from pure Indonesian to english. I reckon that the future batches from Indonesia will not have problems coping with our housemanship in Malaysia. It has been prominent that graduates from Indonesia found it hard to adapt to the common English terminologies. However , they usualy survive and it was just a transition period.


Deanery and Dr Abdullah from USM.

Behind me is the list of Clinical Specialists in Rumah Sakit Umum Dr Hoessin.

I managed to arrange a session with the current med students.Initially they were thinking of a formal session on career guidance but I insisted on an informal one. I remembered how during my undergraduate days when the post grads did a similar thing for us. It was refreshing and I really appreciated their effort. I was keen on sharing my experience and knowledge with the young ones and I hope that I have enlightened them.. ( I dunno if I have converted them to anaesthesiologism.. hahaha ) .
The session was held in one of their houses which had a big hall. It was a good turn out and a good Q and A session. I explained about housemanship , MO ship and what next if they are keen on post graduate internship. I really did enjoy the session and I do hope that they were too !! Hahahaha.. Or else, I must have been talking a lot because it was midnight when I went home..

Orthopods potentials.. alert...

**************************************
I managed to meet up with Dr Endang , the Palembang senior Consultant Anaesthesiologist and the med students were kind enough to "pillion" me there ! It was cool riding motorcycle at night in Palembang and I am glad i did that. I had a good conversation with her regarding Anaesthesia past and present and she seems very interested about the training we have in Malaysia. It was unfortunate though that I did not manage to follow her into OT ; but the tight schedule earlier in the trip forbid me from doing so.

the ride which was breezy..

Dr Endang..

Check out the Vespa.. Thank you guys !

TO all the med students of UNSRI, all the best in your future undertakings. I do hope to see all of you again not as students but fully certified doctors , Insya Allah.. reach for the stars !!!
