Anatomy class

I've done nothing much since joining UiTM for the past 1 week. I've attended several meetings which somehow because i'm the new person there ; so i have to sort out things unsettled. Haks.. Apa ler.. i can't imagine handling 2 jobs at once ; ie being a clinician and academician at the same time. I figured that because the faculty is still in its cradle years ; we're now busy remodelling and refining the syllabus.

Anyway , next week will be a marathon of courses for me. The first being a 3 days PBL ( Problem based learning ) course organized by Melbourne Univ. I was from a PBL based univ therefore i have some idea of how PBL is done. Having this certificate will certainly make me "qualified" to talk about PBL in the future. heks.. Apparently , UiTM bought few PBL packages from Melbourne U costing a fortune. hmmm.. never thought that they can make money out of this system.

Then over the weekend , i will have to go to Rompin in some remote resort there. Dato' JJ is coming as well ; i suppose no wonder it is held in Rompin !! and because i am a trainee ; i've been roped into the organizing committee ; which can be fun or otherwise.

I suppose the highlight of it all will be the "makan". heks.. The dinners they are planning to organize looks yummy in exotic places. Bagus gile budget kerajaan !!

Tomorrow will be interesting because i will be one of the on site tutor for practical anatomy tomorrow. Therefore , i have to do my reading tonight on the anatomy of upper gastrointestinal tract.

I am impressed with their anatomy lab . Currently there are 11 cadavers available and they are still fresh !! Its difficult to get these cadavers but UiTM managed to secure them !! I cannot tell you how they do it as it may cause some controversy !! Its good for the students ; to experience "real" anatomy. I gather it is the most exciting thing for a fresh medical graduate. Otherwise , it'll be so boring having to dwell into the thick books of basic knowledge. It'll be fun to go back home and tell stories about dissection to your keen family members !!

I certainly remembered my first dissection session in Manchester ; I puked really bad whilst having lunch after the session !! It was certainly the smell of my burger ( in Manchester- we have halal shops eiih..) which reminded me the stinky anatomy lab smell. And the stench of the body with formalin stimulated my olfactory merves for that whole week ; good for losing pounds !!
