Sem 4 Rotation CSU/BS

Dear students,

I would like to inform you that there is an opportunity for you to volunteer for the video filming for the Communications Skills session in CSU. A maximum of 6 students from each group of 30 will be selected for each session.

If there are no students who volunteer, the Sisters in CSU will randomly assign students for the scenarios, specifically for 'Getting Consent' and 'Breaking Bad News'.

All students should refer to the I:Drive (I:\MEDICAL PROGRAMME\Sem 4 Rotation) for information regarding the Communications Skills Rotation.

There won't be a plenary to explain any information regarding the scenarios. All relevant information (including sample videos) can be found in the folder above. All students who are interested to volunteer for theses sessions can place an "X" by their name in the 'ME108 Rotation - CSU_BS Video Filming Volunteer Form'.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any further information.

Sincerely,
Alexius Cheang

Important! Regarding the Meeting rooms

Dear All,

Some students had the habit of leaving their books, bags and even laptops (which, please remember is not good as it is a bad idea to leave such valuables unattended) in the room to book it and depriving others from using them. Please remember that these rooms are used by other students and staff to have meetings, discussions and PBLs so please be considerate to others. Unfortunately, if students continue to book rooms in such a way and prevent others from using them, administration is looking to only allow students the utilization of the room for personal studying after 5.30 PM as it is proving to be an inconvenience to everyone - other students and the staff. We would rather this not to be implemented so please be considerate to your fellow students and the staff of IMU.From now on, if books or bags are left unattended and the room is in need these items will be removed.

Also please remember not to write notes on the frosted glass walls of the meeting rooms as they cannot be cleaned, and always remember to clean the white boards and the glass after using them.

An incident occurred in which some students had written some silly remarks to the people passing by. Mr Amir of Facilities and Management had to sternly advice those students. We would like to advise our fellow students to not do such things.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

GP Posting

Dear all,

As you all know, the deadline and also the extended deadline had been way over. Instead email from Ms Piraveena, I am also writing for the same reason. For those who have yet to submit the reply form please do so. If it is impossible for you to get the signature, you could fill in the form on behalf of the doctor provided they had agreed.

Attached are lists of names:
1) who have yet to sumbit the form
2) submitted (red highlited means date clashes with other rotation)

I would be so grateful if these students in category 1 could be responsible enough to settle the matter. You had been briefed on what you should do unless you purposely skipped the briefing and have no alternative to ask.

Nevertheless, the Class Rep could come to collect the below from me on 14/12/2009 at AAD:
1. Study Guide for students
2. Introduction Letter to GPs
3. Guidebook for GPs
4. Assessment Form for GPs to sign

(Both me and Jade will try our best to make this up for guys)

I also received forms (10pcs) with no name written. Don’t worry, u could just give me the GP name/clinic and also your details (including tel. no) in the GP tray.

Thank you.

GP Posting Problems

Hi everyone!

Ms Veena from AAD has emailed us to inform us that there are some problems with the GP posting forms for some people who have:

1. NOT submitted their GP posting form

2. FORGOTTEN to write their name & ID no. on the GP posting form

There are quite a number of names, so we won't make a list, but you can find the GP Posting Name List HERE.

Please download it and check to see if your clinic details are correct, or if they are MISSING, that means you have one of the two problems above.

After that, please go and see Pn Rozlin at AAD to (re)submit your clinic details. 

Her extension number is 2206.

Have a great rest of selectives! :)

Love, 

Korwoi & Jade

How to Contact SRC

Dear all,

Please do inform all your batch mates of this. 

Of course students are more than welcome to approach council members at all times in person with any concerns they have, but we would like to inform the students of alternative ways. All this will be permanently on the Contact Us page in the SRC blog.

Especially the feedback board in the atrium, as we check it often and we have as of yet never received feedback on it. We assume it is because not many students are aware of this.

Recently we have received a lot of feedback from students and we are very grateful for this. I would like to encourage students to always give us feedback, both positive and negative, and to keep us constantly updated about their concerns.

We are located inside the student lounge, at LG. Our working hours are from 9AM - 6PM on weekdays.
We have an SRC Board in the Atrium which keeps you updated about SRC. It also has a Student Directory and personal contact details for each SRC member.

There is also a feedback board next to the SRC Board for any and all feedback on IMU. SRC does check this board often.


Around IMU there are many phones placed (as shown below). They are all around campus, even in the MPH, PBL area and in the lecture theaters. You can reach SRC by dialling 6601.
Other ways to contact us are:

1. Email - imusrc@gmail.com
2. Leave a comment on our posts on our blog.
   

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

Quick Announcements

Dear all,

Here are a few quick announcements!

1. New printers have arrived! You can collect your personal pin number for the printer from MPH 6 or you can ask the IT Department where to collect it from. These printers are outsourced (to outsource means to obtain goods or services from an outside supplier; to contract work out.) and because it is a MYR 2 million ringgit project meant for both BJ and Seremban it had taken a while to get everything settled. I will be emailing soon about what students can get from the printers and the official pricing of printing.
   
2. There are now two more PCs in the Student Lounge for students to use. Just a reminder: please switch off the PC once you are done and no one else is using it. Please make sure that even the switches are off because otherwise they are left on overnight and it is a waste of electricity.
   
3. We are working on fixing the gym equipment with the assistance of the Gym Club and SSD. We hope students can be slightly patient with us on this as we need to evaluate which equipment is not working and then get it fixed.
4. The Welfare meeting is on the 15th of December (next Tuesday). If you have any concerns about facilities or student welfare you would like to voice out feel free to let us know. You can contact me or Nirmal or email imusrc@gmail.com. Here are the issues we are bringing up:
1. Soundproofing the music room
2. Hill-top carpark
3. Lockers to place valuables in for MDLs
4. Extending student lounge hours
5. Printers
6. More places to eat around IMU
7. Problems with teaching venues

Doctors of Tomorrow Forum Summary

Dear all,

Here is a very brief summary of what was discussed during the Doctors of Tomorrow Forum as requested by students. We are trying to get the video uploaded on the I Drive and on CDs for students who were unable to go to view it.

It was really quite an enlightening forum. Each speaker was given 5 minutes to speak and below are my personal notes from the forum.

From Prof Victor Lim: Just a note of caution. Many are expressing their own personal views so don't take everything as the gospel truth. The important thing is to reflect on what has been said and to focus on how to become a good health care professional of tomorrow. Do not be too concerned about the statistics quoted. A good doctor will always be in demand globally.

Speaker: Ms. Ranjit Kaur a/p Pritam Singh, Patients' Representative

• Enabling environment
• When with the doctor the patient should be able to speak openly and feel safe to express feelings and ask any questions without being made feel stupid.
• Patients should not be judged by doctors nor should the doctor ever say "Am I the doctor or you?"
• Communication skills are important:
• Body language
• give support
• speaking abilities
  
• Breaking bad news
• Most doctors need immense training in this
• They need to be able to give the patient proper information and support
• Enable patient to have a voice
• Give the patients choices
  
• Doctors shouldn't be afraid to say "I'm not too sure about this, let me refer you to..."
  
• Conspiracy of silence
• Doctors should not keep a patients condition from the patient just because the family member requested for it.
• Doctors should realize that when this is requested for, the family member is in need of counseling and support as well.
  
• Doctors communication
• Doctors should have better communication with other doctors, especially in front of patients.
  

Speaker: Dr. Milton Lum Siew Wah, Malaysian Medical Council Representative

• Training of Doctors
• Current criteria for entry (academics and extracurricular activities) is very important but not enough. IMU also needs to do more than just interview to select students.
• Improving quality of staff is vital in any university.
• For housemen there should be objective assessment.
  
• What has gone wrong with the medical profession?
• Doctors are perceived (and often act) arrogant.
  
• Professionalism + good practitioner + life long learner = Doctor
• Professionalism is a set of values, behaviour and relationship.
  

Speaker: Dato' Dr. Ronald Stephen McCoy, Malaysian Medical Association

• Professionalism + Medical Ethics
• Western Medicine has two types of education:
• Overt -> the factual education.
• Covert -> education from the high expectation from society.
  
• "Medication is a vocation distinguished by altruism and social responsibility."
• Challenges
• Educational challenges that begin from secondary school itself (government schools).
• Ensuring a culture of excellence (high standards).
  
• "Apart from knowledge, professionalism, ethics and compassion transforms a doctor into a healer."
• Qualities of a Doctor
• Capable of taking ultimate responsibility
• Non-judgemental
• Empathy
• Integrity
  
• Advocacy
• Doctors often forget that there are other causes of death apart from disease and illness.
• For eg. war casualties often ignored by medical profession.
  
• Within our vocation to voice out against it.
  

Speaker: Dr. Ian Ong Chye Heng, Academy of Family Physician, Malaysia

• Community medicine
• Community family care is what most doctors will end up practicing.
  
• Attributes of a good doctor
• Attitude
• towards what your patient wants is very important
• Sometimes patients wish to be well but take very little action, therefore we have to convince them
  
• Dynamic Intelligence
• We have to be highly adaptable
  
• Application and analysis
• Apply knowledge
• Analyse information presented
  
• both to be done at patients level
  
• Atmosphere
• of learning environment
• Chronic illness is extremely prevalent regardless of specialisation
• students need to know it well and keep themselves constantly updated
  
• Foundation
• A good foundation is required for doctors to know how proceed when presented with rare/unknown/unfamiliar conditions
  
• Skills
• Good examination skills are of extreme importance
• Foundation skills allow doctors to process the knowledge
  
• Practice management
  

Speaker: Prof Dato' Dr. Khalid Kadir, Past Master of Academy of Medicine, Malaysia

• Future
• Produce doctors of high standards so that patients will develop high confidence in them.
  
• Patients
• are receiving treatment from the entire health care system, not doctors alone.
• cater to patients need to know what doctors know.
  
• Teaching
• adapt teaching to the new technology without letting go of soft and important skills like proper Physical Examination.
• remove redundant skills which are known to be not so efficient.
  
• Evidence Based Medicine
• is a must
• teaches how to assess knowledge and how what is learned is applicable
• Monash has one whole semester on it
  
• Teachers
• have teachers who are trained to teach undergraduates - not postgraduates (as is often the case)
• These teachers should have experience in private practices as well
• best to have teachers who are still practicing
  

Speaker: Dr. Ng Char Hong, IMU Alumni Representative

• System-based teaching in IMU
• is good because anatomy, physiology and biotechnology can be applied to appropriate illnesses and diseases
  
• Concrete foundation is needed
  
• Aberdeen (where the speaker transferred to for PMS)
• Sessions with patient interaction are videotaped and then evaluated as a group
  
• In Phase 4
• there are no exams apart from OSCE
• Students are solely attached to wards
• Therefore when students graduate they have good communication skills
  
• Soft Skills
• Knowledge can be built on bu soft skills need to be acquired primarily

Zia Shah

Canteen Meeting Summary: Jumbo and Sri Emas

Dear all,

Here is the summary of the recent canteen committee meeting (Tuesday, 8th of December). We are often very demanding of the operators and are always open to them on the feedback we receive from students, and they are always receptive of what we have to tell them.

Having said that, they too have requests for students, which is really only reminders of things that have been said before.

As always, you can find this at the Treasurers blog page, along with summaries of the previous canteen meetings.

What is required from students

Please do not use the cafeterias utensils when having outside food as it is an unfair cost to them.

• There are areas allocated for students to eat outside food. Please do not consume outside food in the cafe as thatarea is managed by the cafe operators who are renting the premise (meaning that it is paid for by them).
  
• Please help to clear up the tables when you finished your meal. Jumbo has placed collection bins/trolley for used crockery/cultery in strategic location around the cafe. This is to help improve the speed of the queue by lessening the manpower needed for cleaning.
  
  

Jumbo

• They are recalibrating the cashier box to make it more efficient and precise. They have also replaced the cashier due to complaints from students.
  
They are going to sort out the pricing of the different bain marie's so that students are aware which one is the one that is priced at RM 3.80 for 2 vege + 1 meat, and the prices of the other one.
To shorten queues they will implement a number system where students can immediately order and pay.
Price list will be sent to SRC to put on display for all students on the SRC blog.
If students want to request a special menu they can do so through SRC who will then pass it to Jumbo to see if it is feasible.
Every 2 months they will change the chef to bring a different taste so that it will not always seem the same.
They will work on staff attitude towards students.
SRC will promote any specials they are having to students through the SRC blog and email.
• The cafe will now close at 6pm.
Staff were reminded to wear masks, hair nets and gloves at all times.
They now have a tea time selection which is
• Curry Puff - RM 0.50
• Spring Roll - RM 0.50
• Kuih (5 different flavors) -RM 0.60 each
• Sandwich (egg mayo/tuna) - RM 2
• Sausage roll - RM 1.50
  

Sri Emas

• It was suggested that they review pricing for the chicken rice and to introduce a cheaper alternative available. They have agreed to provide an option of plain rice to oil rice.
Pure Chinese-styled vegetarian meals to be introduced starting January. (even the pots they'll be cooked in will be different).

Will propose tea sets to the team for eg.

• Goreng pisang with tea
  
• Hot deserts
  

De Brio
Not present.

SRC Evaluation Form Results

Dear all,

Here are the results of the SRC Evaluation Form. We will be discussing the comments we received as a council and will get back to the students on that as soon as possible.

First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone who took part in the survey. We are very thankful for all the feedback we received.

IMPORTANT: There is something I would like to request though - some of the cases were said to be unresolved - as a council we would like to know what it was, especially me, so that I can find out why it was not resolved. Other than that I would like to remind all students that they should always feel free to approach any council member, me included, anytime if they have any problems - even if they consider the problem to be small (such as the water coolers not working) and regardless of batch. We are intent on helping all students when we can.

SRC isn't your last resort, it is your first. So please do come and approach us anytime.
