Time: 330-630
Venue: IMU Campus, Bukit Jalil
The pre-medical society of Taylors has had its first trip today to International Medical University Campus situated in Bukit Jalil, roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive away from Taylors College Main Campus.
The bus departed the main campus at approximately 1545, and arrived at IMU around 1610. Upon reaching we were greeted by the marketing department, and lead us to a discussion room where we had a medical talk presented by professor Ong, which was one of the first few Lecture's that established IMU 15 years ago, better known then as IMC, International Medical College.
Professor Ong, first outlined certain aspects of being a doctor, much of it being having the passion, commitment, and understanding the satisfaction of being a doctor. After such, he told us the curriculum of IMU, having a very strong educational philosophy in relevant skills and analytical thinking, and stating, even though in the first year, students will come in contact with real life patients, as part of their Problem Based Learning style which is the modern approach to teaching Medicine around the world now.
After an excellent presentation and answer and question session, we were lead in groups of 10 to tour around the IMU campus. Needless to say they're very well equipped, with huge lecture theaters, labs (for pharmaceutical students), student lounge, gym and Wireless Internet Access all around campus.
Needless to say, this post wouldn't be half as interesting if there weren't any pictures:
The tour ended with a small photo taking session in the atrium, sorta the centre portion of the campus, but i still wonder why they call it an atria? isnt that the upper chambers of the heart? well beats me.
We left back for TCSJ around 6, beat the traffic and got back at 630.
A big shout out to all the board members that were involved in helping me plan this trip, thank you IMU for allowing us to tour your campus, and most importantly the members of PMS that participated.
FYI: PMS wont be having any meeting till after the CAL holiday, this is mainly because the board is mostly from CAL and it'd be hard to get CAL students back to college during their holidays. Please keep coming back as any upcoming activities will be announced here before meetings.
Oh yeah, for students interested in HOSPITAL INTERNSHIP!!! You can contact the main campus head office, especially for CAL students they'll be having two rounds, one during the first week of the holidays and another during the 2nd week of the holidays. Hope to see you guys during the internship. Im sorry for SAM students, but i think you guys should just head over to the main office to check it out.
