The Visitor

We had a visitation today…from BIG people all the way from Msia. Well, we sort of knew about it at the beginning of the week, just didnt sink into us how BIG they are. It’s actually called The Delegates. Ok, we are still not sure why they are here - the delegates include 5 people - Health Ministry Director General Dr Ismail Merican and 4 of his team members! :oops: Most of them are senior members of the MMC. BIG people, ok! No jokes!!

The meeting was held in one of the largest meeting hall in the university, and it was compulsory for 5th and 6th year medical students and group leaders of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students. But as I see, not all the people that were supposed to come turned up. That is not the whole point….the point is about the purpose of the meeting.

Still very unclear.

There was a very inspiring speech about our future prospect as a doctor in Malaysia. Very inspiring, I must admit. With all good promises and talking about the benefits of returning to Malaysia, the privilages…all sugar coated words, but the reality isn’t as nice, that everyone knows deep in their heart even though they would like to believe the inspiring speech.

Next, there were something like a question and asnwer session. A few questions were raised about the possibility of derecognization of Russian Medical university and the real purpose of their visit this time. Well, we got our answers but I kinda doubt it if they were true, I mean, if they really are going to derecognize the Russian Medical University, they aren’t just going to announce it to us now..but, as Dr. Ismail Merican said, it’s unlikely. So, no worries for us and the juniors. Moving on, they said it’s just a visit for evaluating the system here…something they should be doing  and has been doing frequnetly. Visiting different medical universities in different countries.

Then, there were questions about Internship and we were directed to visit their official website MMC. We were asked to download the Housemanship Guidebook under Internship. :razz: hehe…but learnt something really cool - rupanya, non-malaysian citizen cant work as houseman in Malaysia! hoho…but who would want to come to Malaysia to work! aha…but it does feel like a privilages, doest it? aha…
