How well do you know AIDS?

In conjunction with the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial Day (which is still in the planning stage..) we have invited another distinguished speaker to talk to us about an issue that is becoming increasingly important for Malaysians to increase their knowledge about.. AIDS.

So, bring your friends and whoever you think might benefit from this (including yourself!) for an hour long session next week to not only learn about the biological aspects of HIV/AIDS, but as well as the polices and issues surrounding it. This is clearly an event that cannot be missed, because we have invited the Honorary Secretary of the Malaysian AIDS Council (MAC) Executive Committee, Prof. Madya Dr. Rusli Ismail, to take time off from his busy schedule to educate us.

Details of the event are as below:

Date: 30th April 2008 (Wednesday)
Time: 3.30 pm- 4.30 pm
Venue: LT3
Fees: FREE!


To those who are interested, please take not that this is open to all Taylors' students, and not just members of the Pre-Med Society. You do not have to be a future doctor to be aware of AIDS, and I am sure that there are many unanswered questions about AIDS that still leave you curious, so why not take this opportunity to clarify your doubts?

To confirm your attendance, please drop an email at premed.taylors@gmail.com with "RE: AIDS AWARENESS TALK ATTENDANCE" as your subject, including your full name, class, student ID and handphone number.

As this event will be happening next Wednesday, we would appreciate it if you could email us your details by Tuesday, 29th April 2008 for convenience.

You can make a difference.

See you there!

Guest Speaker: Dr. Ong Hean Tek

Hey boys and girls, Pre-Med Society has got an event lined up for you in May.. As promised, speakers are being invited for the benefit of the curious future doctors in us. Therefore, we've taken the liberty to organize one for our benefit as well as non-PreMedical Society students so bring along your friends who are interested.. but are for some reason not in the society, lol.


In the mean time, we have invited a cardiologist, Dr Ong Hean Tek! Take the time to read the objectives below for the arranged talk:


  • To promote the doctor's value amongst the members of the Pre-Medical Society.
  • To provide information regarding life as a doctor
  • To expose members to medical ethics
  • To expose the students to medicine as a career

Details of the event are as below:


Date: Sunday, 18th May 2008
Time: 10 am - 12 pm
Venue: TUC Main Campus, LT2
Expected attendance: 100 students
Fees: FREE!

To those of you who are interested, please check your calendars and drop an email as soon as possible to premed.taylors@gmail.com with "RE: SPECIALIST TALK ATTENDANCE" as your subject. This is a first-come-first-served basis, so places might be snapped up pretty quick.

Since we will be inviting an external guest speaker, we will need the list of names latest by this Friday, 25th April 2008. You may also give us your name at this week's general meeting.

I strongly advise all members to take this opportunity as this would be useful, especially to those doctor-wannabes who are still unsure... ;)


Note: You are welcome to ask Dr. Ong questions about specialising in cardiology as he will be talking about being a doctor in general during the talk.


Until then..
Regards!
