More BOOKs...

2011-08-16T16:49:00.005+08:00

Hey guys!

To those who are going to Seremban in particular, Joe has taken the effort to get a list of books tt would b necessary/useful for our clinical..the list is as below:

EMO:

Davidson's --> RM65
Kumar & Clark --> RM93
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine --> RM79
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties --> RM70
Davidson's handbook --> RM40
Bailey and Love Surgery --> RM170
Burkitt's Essentail Surgery (problems, diagnosis and management) --> RM110
Browse's (symptoms and signs of surgical disease) --> RM70

KAMAL:

Davidson's --> RM99
Kumar & Clark --> RM99
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine --> RM55
Davidson's handbook --> RM75
Bailey and Love Surgery --> RM155
Burkitt's Essentail Surgery (problems, diagnosis and management) -->RM95
Browse's (symptoms and signs of surgical disease) --> RM50

So the books that are in BOLD are the cheaper ones (compared to the other place)... But I personally prefer books from EMO bcs i have VERY BAD experiences buying from Kamal (books worn out very fast). Anyone else has met with similar problems?? Anyways u guys can think abt it and I will probably collect money and place down orders first day in seremban!

Don't know which to choose? basically seniors would recommend to get:

Kumar&Clark or Davidson's (this will be our go to book for the whole internal med rotation whn we need to read up on something)
OHCM or Davidson's handbook (for quick reference during ward rounds! u won't go wrong getting OHCM but we got a very good deal for the Davidson's handbook n its a really good book as well!)
Bailey's is recommended for surgery rounds (famous surgical book, wont go wrong getting it!). No 6&7 was recommended by Henry from EMO (he says a lot of seniors come to get those books as well).

-JOE-

To those who are off to Seremban:

1.if u need a labcoat u can FB msg Joe ur size ASAP as he will be going there soon to make the

purchase

2.have u signed in our FB group yet? If not please do so at : http://www.facebook.com/groups/183624611693159/

anyways enjoy ur remaining holidays n see u peeps in seremban..

Loves,

Geena...

Library Hours Extended

2011-07-30T00:03:00.000+08:00

Dear students of IMU,

As per your requests, the SRC and the Library dept. are glad to inform you that with effective from 1^st August ‘2011 the IMU Library Collaborative Study Area (CSA) will be open till 12:00 a.m. on weekdays.
However, we still have to cross a few bumps before we can make it permanent. Yes, everyone, it’s still temporary and on a TRIAL period till the25^th of august ‘2011. If we are able to follow the criteria given to us by the Library dept. till the end of the trial period, then of course the library CSA will continue to be open till 12:00 a.m.
The criteria are as listed below:

1) All books are to be returned by 10 pm
2) No borrowing of books after 10 pm
3) No books or MMS models should be misplaced or damaged during the trial period
4) A minimum of 20 students on average should be present in the CSA.
5) Last but not least, the most important issue:
Students should walk safely while walking back to Vista or their cars after 12:00 am
and should not get mugged on the way during the trial period.

If any of these 5 Criteria are breached or not fulfilled (especially the last 3), then the whole thing is KAPUT!! In other words, library CSA will only be open till 10 p.m., we will never be given a chance to increase library operation hours in the future ever again.
Furthermore, the QSA and MMS section will be closed after 10 p.m. and only 2 part-time student librarians and a security guard will be overseeing the library till midnight after 10 p.m. The Reserve Collection Area will be out of bounds during the time 10 – 12 also.

So, students of IMU, the SRC has once again listened to your concerns and have acted upon them. This time, it is up to you to keep this newly granted opportunity and to not mess it up in anyway, if you would like the library CSA to be open till 12:00 a.m. on weekdays.
Also I would like to stress on the importance on student safety once they leave the library at midnight, since that is the main reason the library dept. is concerned about. Please try to travel in packs or groups. Guys I need not remind you, now’s the chance to jump in and walk those pretty ladies off to safety :P.

Anyways, thank you for your support extended to us in this matter and with your help I believe that in the near future we can make more exceptional changes to the library to benefit your needs. Your SRC president, Simran Singh will be visiting most of the batches to announce more details regarding this matter.
Thank you and have a great time everyone!

SRC Secretary

Batch Rep Resignation

2011-07-18T17:32:00.004+08:00

Greetings fellow batchmates! :)

Wow, can't believe that holidays are already half over! I do hope everyone is getting the time that they always wanted to sleep in, exercise, laze around, catch up on TV series, etc. to just rejuvenate after one hell of a semester 5. So, let's return back to my initial purpose of writing this post.

Official Resignation

I have already announced it on the Seremban Clinical School batch facebook group, but this is to just officialize it; also I found some parts of my post would also be directed to those PMS-ing thus hope you will bear with my "formality". :P But, I have nominated Joe and Teegeena as this batch's future batch reps (male and female respectively) and so far I have not heard any negative comments about it. Thus, I will proceed on with slowly transferring over responsibilities to the elected to make the transition as smooth as possible. However, I also maintain my word that nominations are still open so those that would want the job for any reason, feel free to voice out. If this happens, I will immediately start a voting process and the one with the most votes will participate in my hand-over immediately following thereafter. Otherwise, I presume the batch has no other willing bodies and shall congratulate Joe and Geena on August 1st 2011 when they are officially the "go-to people" for everything that you would normally address to the batch reps. I hear-by, formally declare my resignation as batch rep. (:

The Reason

It was a hard decision to come to, trust me. The thought was in my mind since the end of semester 4, but I decided to hang on for the final semester for pre-clinical as things were starting to get really busy with Convo Mag, Mock PMS Matching, etc. I felt that it would be wrong to just leave in the midst of so many things going on and knowing probably no one would want the job seeing it is semester 5 and all. :P So, what finally brought me to do it was because this halfway mark through medical school helped me come to the realization that I do want to move on from this job and try something different. It has been my utmost pleasure to be able to serve every one of you but quite honestly i'm very tired from the job. It seems to be quite easy from the outside to many, but there are many things behind the scenes faced that fails to ever see light. I think that I have tried my very best to do what I was supposed to do and came to the conclusion it is time to let others have this chance to grow from such an experience as I have grown from it. It was very tough to let go, but I hope being batch rep doesn't define who I am to you all. I hope over the 2.5 years you have gotten to know me a bit better than just "he is our batch rep!" because I did try to go beyond by duties several times to let you all know a bit about me personally. :)

Words of Gratitude

I want to express many thanks to you all for allowing me to be your batch representative for the past 2.5 years. I have never once taken for granted all the support and positive encouragement you have given to me over the years and it was one of the reasons I was able to carry on doing what the batch needed every time. It has been a good growing experience and it was only made possible because of the very people that constituted this batch. I know this sounds slightly tacky, but I can say i mean ever word of it as i have never really been know for my semantics anyways. :P It has been so awesome to meet most of the batch and know all of you (I apologize for those I never got to know) but you all definitely made our batch one of the more colourful batches. That is one of the things I will remember about this batch for sure and I apologize if I have ever offended anyone along the duration of my tenure or come short of my responsibilities. I have given my best foot forward and thanks to all of you for making my job easier with your cooperation all this while. I could not have been asked to represent a better batch of people. :)

Do enjoy the holidays well and all the best for those going overseas for PMS and for those that are going to Seremban - see you all there! :)

Your "neighborhood batch rep",

Eldwin

PMS Matching Results (Update)

2011-05-21T23:15:00.003+08:00

Greetings fellow batchmates!

Quite a number of people have asked me about the PMS results already, so I figured it would be best for me to just put it up on the batch blog. As of last Wednesday (18 May 2011), I received confirmation from Miss Imelda that the PMS matching results will be ready by the end of May. That may mean some time next week, or if it's really cutting close to the deadline it could even fall on any day of our first 2 days of EOS5. I understand some rather have it before and some rather have it after exams, but i really apologize because I can't do anything about the timing at all. Dr JPJ had set a deadline for the AAD to finish the Matching Results by end of the month so they are all scrambling to finish it by that deadline, pity her too because I know she is trying her best. So the date of release might not be on everyones' "good side", but there is really nothing we can do about it..hope you all can still focus on preps for exams at hand. :)

Cheers,

Eldwin

P.S. As soon as I know anything, the first thing I will do is update the blog and FB it. You have my word!

M109 MSK/CNS Summative

2011-05-14T01:12:00.002+08:00

Greetings M109!

I hope ya'll had a nice transient rest today after the summative paper in the morning. Anyways, good or bad let's forget that small fish which got away and focus on the even BIGGER fish i.e. EOS5 yeah? XD

Tay and I spent a few hours after summative to type up as much of the questions which we could recall for our summative paper in the morning. It is not perfect, but we did the best to our recollection capabilities so you can find it at the link below and saving it as a word document is as easy as clicking file --> save as. Maybe you will find it helpful to remind you about the style of how they ask, or to take into account "supposedly whatever comes out for summative WON'T come out for EOS" or maybe you just want to keep it so you can pass it on to your juniors. Whatever the purpose is, we have done it for you so please make use of it if you may. :)

The PTPTN officers will not be coming to IMU this time. Therefore you need to submit your documents to me latest by :

Date : 25 May 2011 (Wednesday)

Please ensure that your documents are complete and in order before submitting to me. Otherwise your documents will not be collected until they are complete.

IMU Alumni Registration - IMPORTANT

2011-05-05T01:54:00.003+08:00

I hope the title of this post has caught your eye! :)
So this is basically what's going on.

The convo mag committee has been working very hard to produce a yearbook that is

as awesome as it will be memorable for you all, however the price quotes aren't exactly as low as we would like it to be. So we are finding ways to raise funds so that we can subsidize for the cost of the yearbook at least by a bit. So here is my appeal, apparently Miss Asnah said that if the ENTIRE batch successfully registers as an IMU Alumni, we will get RM1k towards our batch fund and that translates into slightly cheaper convo mags for those interested in purchasing! Now, the procedure is simple and only takes 5 minutes and no don't worry there are no strings attached so I hope as a batch we can make this happen. Because, we can only receive the money if EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE of you registers and (yes they have a way to check).

So here's how! :)

1. Go to http://www.imu.org.my/

2. Click "sign up as a new member"

3. Fill in the form and press submit!

See, it really did only take about 5 minutes right? ;) Well, thanks so much for your cooperation really hope this works. And one more thing, if anyone has any cool ideas or knows any possible sponsors do let me know via email at Medt109@gmail.com - I would greatly appreciate it! Because, worst come to worst convo mag committee might just organize a car wash after EOS5 or something. :P

Cheers,

Eldwin

University of Auckland Talk

2011-05-04T18:14:00.000+08:00

Subject: Memo to ALL Intakes (PMS Option)

Dear Students

Please be informed that Dr Cynthia Jensen, Director, Malaysian

Students will be giving a talk about the University of Auckland,

New Zealand scheduled as follows:

Date : 10 MAY 2011, TUESDAY

Time : 12.30pm – 1.30pm

Venue : MEETING ROOM 2.03.03, 2nd Floor, IMU Bukit Jalil

Campus.

As this talk is not done on a frequent basis, please do not miss the

opportunity to inquire more about the Phase II clinical training at

the university. You will also be able to find out more about

We look forward to your presence.

Thank you.

EOS5 Exam Prep Materials

2011-05-03T23:13:00.002+08:00

Greetings M109!

I tried my best to compile as maany EOS5 EXAM-RELATED materials as possible and thank you for all those that also contributed to the pile of questions that we have in this folder. In this folder you will find:

****

1. PYQ

2. FLM (sem 4 + sem 5) - for OSPE

3. Goodies (which has our batch video and batch photos in high resolution!)

There is an additional folder which I have created entitled "CBL & IMS Presentations", so my last simple request is for those leaders in charge of your presentations, or whoever (also can) to just leave a copy of their presentations in that folder because it may be helpful to some of your batchmates.

****

WHERE?

Ans. Check it out at any one of the 3 computers at the "island" situated next to the magazine section latest by 1030AM , WED 4 MAY 2011. Take note, I will be removing the folder by next Monday, so take it while you can. I don't want to get "caught" disseminating any "contraband".

This is really as much as I can do as we all need to focus on exams, so if any1 really needs the CBL/IMS presentations would be best to just approach the group involved personally because at this point i'm sure most will be more than satisfied if they can finish their lecture notes (as there are so many!)

With that I wish every1 the very best for summative and EOS5!

Eldwin

Kampung Angkat Project

We are in need of about 10 more volunteers for the survey part and possibly donation drive. The details are all on the SRC blog atimusrc.blogspot.com so could you please inform your respective batches of this and tell them to check out the blog if they are interested. I understand some of you are on study break right now so maybe you can post on your Facebook pages or something? These 10 spots will be filled on first come first serve basis so please do inform them ASAP.

We also require 2 more pharmacy students to speak about vitamins. Refer to the blog for further details.

EOS5 Exam Preps

2011-04-26T02:05:00.002+08:00

It's 5 weeks and counting down! It is getting down to the crunch time and I know as it exams nears less people will be around in lectures, so do continue checking up on the batch blog so that when I do need to get information out to you all it is available to you all. I could always go the FB route, but not every1 has FB and I don't have EVERY1's facebook either. :D

So I want to make an appeal. I'm currently gathering any/all EOS5 related exam prep material (eg. pyq, mock osce ques, mms slides, etc.) for you all. It is my hope that as a batch, we pool our resources together and share whatever we have with each other. Because what you have that you MAY NOT USE or FIND USEFUL, others might and that could mean the difference between passing and failing. It is not mandatory, but out of the spirit of being M109 together for nearly 5 whole semesters, this is the one last thing we can do together collectively!

SO yes, for those who have ANY ques whatsoever or any material that might be helpful for the interest of EOS5 (meaning sem 3-5 materials, more emphasis on sem4/5) do send it to the batch email at medt109@gmail.com or if it's too big please SMS me or approach me with a pendrive so i can copy and paste immediately. I will start collecting ASAP, but i required your cooperation! By next week, I will have created a batch folder where every1 can access each and every file which I have collected this week. I hope this helps any small bit it may, at least.

All the best studying!

Cheers,

Eldwin

Annoucements ( 29.3.2011)

2011-03-29T11:21:00.004+08:00

Please take note of the important announcements below:

1. Community Medicine Report Deadline The deadline for the com med report is on 1 April 2011. The group leader is required to collect all the reports on that day and hand it in to the respective facilitator on his/her time. Please be cooperative and have it ready by that day because it would be unseemly for your leader to approach and bother your faci on more than one ocassion.

2. ECA Report - Soft Copy (Local Students) I have realised that the email that is stated in the ECA form that Local Seremban Clinical students are supposed to send to keeps failing. There is some error with that particular email address so send your ECA form (soft copy) to the PMS email instead at: pmsmatching@imu.edu.my

Announcements (28.3.2011)

2011-03-28T11:31:00.003+08:00

Greetings fellow M109-ians!

Below are several announcements to take note of that I made after today's lecture:

1. Batch Photo

We will be taking the official batch photo this WEDNESDAY, 30 March 2011 at 1030AM.
Please remember to bring your lab coat as it will be a formal picture. This is incredibly important and Tay and I do hope you all will cooperate. I know most are PMS bound but whether or not you are doing local or overseas, it does not change the fact that we spent our pre-clinical years (2.5 years!). We learned together, we grew together and whether we like it or not we shaped each others lives within this period of time here at Bukit Jalil campus. So it would be FANTASTIC if we can have a photo to look back and say "man.. those were the days.. i'm proud to be of the M109 cohort". And even if you're not, lol pretend for the sake of your batchmates who do! :)

2. Case-Based Learning

This is a call to all CBL leaders, Dr. Nilesh wants the names of the 4 presenters for your respective cases. The predetermined leader is the first name of each grouping and it is entirely the responsibility of the leader to find 4 presenters whichever way you deem necessary. If in the event, you are unable to carry out your responsibilities find a friend to take up the role and explain to him/her the exact responsibilities of the leader. Do take this serious! It is a great chance to learn and improve on presentation skills for those who undertake this challenge, and you would eventually have to study those topics anyways. What a great way to remember by heart these topics by presenting them to a cohort of 200 people! So do hand me the names tomorrow in between lectures.

3. Dental Yearbook

I have just received word from the dental students, that they will be placing orders for their dental yearbooks soon. So for those medical students interested in making that purchase which is approximately RM50 for about 50 pages, then do send your FULL NAME and NUMBER OF COPIES to the batch email at medt109@gmail.com. I announce this because I know for some you have many friends in DT109 and would be interested.

Do spread the news to your friends for they might not have read this post or heard the announcements made in between lecturers.

Thank you.

Regards,
Eldwin

2011-03-23T22:04:00.002+08:00

Greetings M109!

Below are some important announcements for you to take note of as we will not have a chance to meet until next Monday:

1. Hospital Visit to Tunku Jaafar Hospital

Depending on what time is stated for you in your time table for your hospital visit, please be there 10 minutes before the stipulated time so you don't miss the bus. Also, when reaching there you are to go to the 3rd floor of the IMU Seremban Clinical School building to be briefed then broken down into small groups which you will be notified of when you reach. Make sure you elect a temporary leader and the leader should obtain the phone number of the bus driver to call them when you all are done with the visit. You may return home after your bedside teaching session with the doctor on duty and please look out for one another so you do not leave any one behind!

2. PMS Tuition Fees (updated)

Apparently there were some problems with the previous list of PMS tuition fees as it differed from the amount stated on the IMU website. However, Miss Imelda has come up with the latest list of PMS tuition fees so so go check it out from the Idrive (if you haven't already).

3. Thomas Jefferson and Bmed Science

All letters requesting to pursue BMed Sc & opting for Thomas Jefferson are to be submitted to the Dean of Medical Sciences office directly (not to AAD). Deadline : 24 Mar 2011.

Convo Mag - Artistic Literature Reception

2011-03-22T00:28:00.001+08:00

Greeting fellow M109-ians!

Things are getting a lot more hectic with convo mag now as we are trying to finish it ASAP, so it would be apt to make the following announcement. Do check it out!

1. Artistic Literature Reception

We understand that for most of us, studying is not OUR WHOLE LIFE - everyone has specific talents and gifts. So the convo mag committee decided to create a section of our batch year book displaying some of the "expressive arts" that we know this batch has the potential to do. So we officially welcome any:

Artwork (drawings, paintings, sketches, etc.)

Poems

Lyrics

Short Stories (fictional, inspiring experience)

Basically anything that you can scan in or at least send the soft copy of that artwork to the batch email at: MEDT109@gmail.com

Deadline: 31 March 2011

We absolutely welcome all entries so please do not hesitate! It can be old or new artwork as long as it is YOURS and ORIGINAL and you're a part of ME109, PERFECT! :) Depending on the number of pages allowed, we will try our best to include most if not all of the entries.

Cheers,

Eldwin

List of Deadlines

2011-03-21T11:48:00.002+08:00

Greetings M109!

Below are just a few random announcements and question(s) answered for those who inquired:

1. List of Deadlines

I realize, there are so many deadlines with this form and that form. So I have organized them in a short list that you can see on the side-widget. As there will be many updates coming up, I know the relevant posts will be shifted down further each time I post so click on the link to bring you straight to the post which concerns that topic. Also you will notice in brackets, I have placed the dates for the deadline for you convenience.

2. Batch Video

This Tuesday, 22nd March 2011 right after the 2nd lecture we will be shooting the batch video. There is one very important scene which we deliberated on and finally came up with a simple idea yet effective to literally get every1 their 5 seconds of fame! We will be attempting to organize the longest single file line in IMU and yes if successful it will look awesomely cool. The plan is to get every1 to line up, so line up according to friends figure out your pose or whatever it is you want to shout out as the camera pans across the line from the beginning to the end of the line. Do stick by if you want to be included, the more the better after all we are all one batch! And I will upload the video to FB/Youtube for every1 to see after IMU Ball 2011. :) Your utmost cooperation would be fantastic! We will try to make it as fast as possible, it really depends on how long it takes to assemble the line. :)

3. Q&A

I received several questions, so I will answer them here although I have answered them personally already so that it may help others who might have the same questions.

a) Do we have to do the Student Attribute Form?
Ans. No. That is only for your mentor to fill out, we have nothing to do for that. Hope you have made a good impression on your mentor the past 5 sems though! :)

b) Do local (Seremban) students have to do the narrative?
Ans. No.

With that I conclude this post.

Eldwin

I'm very pleased to see that the MOCK PMS matching template is being used. However, I have had people inform me as well as witness it myself that some are abusing it. The one thing that I hoped would not happen is happening and that is other peoples' choices are being tinkered with and the template is being used as a platform for pranks. Please, if you are not interested in being transparent with you peers then leave those that are willing to collaborate for the overall benefit of the people PMS-ing in this batch to do so without your interference. I have absolutely no way of stopping what is going on, so I apologize to those that were affected. I can only create the "highway" for the cars, I absolutely can't help it if the cars want to "speed illegally". However, I hope the culprits will get their act straight because PMS matching is a serious matter. They are essentially deciding where that RM1 million is going to fly away to. So don't "play play".

Lastly, I have also decided two final outcomes for this template. I shall leave this up indefinitely until the official PMS Matching has been completed for your convenience and so you can update your info as you see fit. I also will not be creating a summary of the data because the data is ever-changing and it would be pointless, I fully trust you all have the capability to interpret the data for what it's worth and put it to your good use. I shall invest that time instead to work with Tay on the batch video. :)

Cheers,

Eldwin

Hospital Visit - Group 2

2011-03-17T09:38:00.003+08:00

It has come to my attention also that the visit to Hospital Tuanku Ja'afar (group 2) for next Tuesday, 22 March 2011 is clashing with the "PMS Meeting Students" session at 12.45PM. So for those PMS students that are interested in mingling with the PMS deans to obtain direct input from them about your interest in their university, etc. then you are allowed to join ANY group's session. This is not applicable for local students!

However, please take note it would be the best if you can find someone in that group 1's session to switch places with you so that the bus on that day is not overloaded. I hope the problem does not come to that.

Thank you.

University of Warwick Talk

2011-03-17T09:32:00.002+08:00

PMS Matching is just around the corner! And that means you all are either in deciding mode or have already decided. Either way, SRC has been awesome at organizing so many talks for those PMS-ing so that you can make better informed choices.

Details of Talk
Title: University of Warwick Alumni Talk (Also, generally about working in UK)
Date: 18 March 2011
Time: 1PM
Venue: LT1

Do take note and spread the word for those that may not have heard the announcements or keep up with the batch blog. As I said earlier this week, it doesn't matter if you have never visited the batch blog more than 5 times since sem 1, but this is probably the most important time to start keeping updated because there are too many details to be announcing and at least you have referring text to avoid confusion.

Thank you.

Academic Council 2011

2011-03-17T09:26:00.003+08:00

Attention to all students.

I realised when making this announcement, primarily PMS students were present at that time so I shall reiterate it on the batch blog. As you know next week there will be the Academic Council 2011, whereby deans from all the PMS will congregate to discuss on IMU-PMS academic issues. They may or may not ask us for our feedback but our job is to sit there in the Senate Room to be ready in case they require feedback from students (which usually is not the case, or at least not when I attended AC 2010).

Here's the good news! It is a one day gig roughly about 2 hours long and starts at 10.45AM, Monday 21 March 2011 and all those that fully participate will be receiving a CERTIFICATE. I'm guessing that one extra thing on yr ECA report won't hurt any right? Thing is, this is rather limited so I will only accept on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you are interested email me your FULL NAME (as on cert) to medt109@gmail.com. If you receive a confirmation email reply then congratz! Otherwise, assume that you did not get it because it really is very limited.

Thank you.

Eldwin

Mock PMS Matching

2011-03-16T02:33:00.003+08:00

Greetings M109!

This is particularly important to those doing PMS-ing. Recently I put a poll up about whether or not you all want to have a mock PMS matching. ~ 50 responded with a yes and though there are 128 PMS students in total, it's still enough to convince me to organize this Mock PMS matching. Do take note that I'm not even doing PMS so i'm doing this purely to help those that requested for it. For those that didn't even know of such a poll to begin with, it's time to get back up to speed because you are severely outdated. So, what I ask is your simple cooperation. I have created the basic template for me to gather your Top 10 PMS choices in the google documents (link below). All you need to do is click on the link and find the row with your name and fill in your Top 10 choices. Before doing it, here are some ground rules to avoid any mishaps.

1. Non-MANDATORY.

This Mock PMS matching is not done under AAD, it is organized within our batch specifically to cater our batch ONLY. It would be great if we can get as many as possible to do the mock PMS matching, but privacy is my biggest concern so if you do not wish to disclose then don't. However, please be ethical because if you are not willing to disclose what your choices are I hope you are not so selfish as to check out the choices of others. "Do to others what you want done to yourselves". Thanks!

2. Reliability

From the get go you can already see many weaknesses in this Mock PMS matching in terms of reliability. So doing this, to a certain extent I am fully trusting you all to only alter your own choices and not to tinker with other peoples' choices (that is absolutely not going to be tolerated if I find out). Also this is not going to be 100% definitive because these are just preliminary choices, i'm aware people may and probably will change their choices after this and ESPECIALLY after they take note of other people's choices but this is to be taken as a rough gauge for you to help you in whatever small or big way possible. It is totally up to you in terms of how you want to interpret the data, my job is to collect and display for you all.

I hope the Mock PMS matching is at least helpful to those that requested for it.

I also hope for your utmost cooperation and even not participating would be cooperation enough in one sense, however if you do decide to take part then please at least keep those 2 points in your mind while doing it.

Deadline: Friday, 18th March 2011

GP Posting Presentation (Updated)

2011-03-06T12:36:00.004+08:00

Greetings ME109!

Alright, so I have called Dr Verna and confirmed 2 very important details about the GP Posting presentation and report which I will announce tomorrow.

1. If you have any doubts as to which group you are supposed to be in, follow the groupings AFTER SWAPPING. However, if you have already contributed to your group according to the OLD LIST; it's not the end of the world. Make sure that you get your attendance taken by Dr Verna the day of your group's presentation.

2. The report is due after your presentation! Please go to see Miss Rozlin after your presentation and DO NOT DROP IT INTO THE PIGEON HOLE. You must see her personally as she will ask you to sign a piece of paper as proof that you handed up your own report.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused!

Cheers!

PMS Students - Updates

2011-02-25T02:20:00.003+08:00

Greetings Fellow Batchmates!

I have grouped all the most recent updates that pertain especially to the PMS students. This is especially important that I get the message to you all clearly so please tell your friends as well in case they didn't hear my announcement in lectures or read the batch blog.

1. PMS Students' - Contact List

I understand that there are some of you who sometimes face a problem with lack of notification of some important updates (eg. tuition fees, fee deadlines, etc.). Miss Imelda has sent me the contact list of those doing PMS, so what I ask for your cooperation for is to check your own details in the list and to make sure there are no mistakes. It will be good if AAD can contact you easily especially during this important time nearing PMS matching. If there ARE mistakes, please send the updated/correct details to Mrs. Imelda at:

imelda_bartolome@imu.edu.my

Person to Contact:

Imelda Bartolome

Deadline for Contact Detail Updates:

PMS Students' Contacts List

2. Mock PMS Matching

Another thing that has come up to my attention was that the previous M208 batch had actually organised a mock PMS matching for the PMS students. This allowed a data presentation of the PMS students' top few choices so that you can see the "competition" among the various PMS options. This would then be expected to help you make a more informed ordering of your PMS choices. I understand there are some limitations as well, such as the truthfulness of the respondents' answers and also the fact that some irregardless will still choose the universities they have set out to choose. So, it prompted me to take a poll whether or not you all do want to have this mock PMS matching. It definitely will require a considerable amount of effort to compile this information, so if the majority DOES want then I will carry forward to do it. So please do vote in the poll on the right-hand side of the screen.

Deadline for Polling:

9AM

CSU Cases & Answers

2011-02-22T00:26:00.002+08:00

Greeting MEDT109!

Well, our awesome ex-SRC President, Zia has taken the effort to send us some mock CSU cases as well as their corresponding answers. OSCE is not going to be easy seeing it is semester 5, so we need every edge we can get so I hope that more people will step forth to share the resources with the batch. :) You can download the respective files at the links below:

Zia's Sem 5 Cases

Zia's Sem 5 Answers

If you want to share it with the batch, how do you go about it? Well, it's simple. Attach the file and send it over to our batch email and state whether or not you want us to credit your name or leave it as anonymous. We could always just keep these kind of things to ourselves, but I believe our batch is a batch that is not selfish and if presented with the chance would help their peers. We've all made it into med school already, let's do this small part and perhaps even somehow help each other through it. A happy batch is one that learns together! :-)

Let's do it MEDT109! Let's gun for EOS5 and show it no mercy. :-P

Eldwin

Important Announcements (Feb)

2011-02-19T22:19:00.004+08:00

Greetings fellow batch mates! :)

I know this past Thurs and Fri has been really busy with everyone running around conducting com med surveys and keying in data, etc. So, it made it somewhat difficult for me to announce anything so I shall make full use of our batch blog to do so. Here are some important announcements to take note of:

1) ME/DT109 Prom King and Prom Queen Contest

As some of you may have known, last week I opened up nominations for a prom king and prom queen rep from our batch for IMU Ball 2011. These top voted nominees are listed in the poll to your right, so do check it and vote for who you think should be the prom king and queen from our batch. Here are just a few ground rules, I separated the nominees because the IMU Ball committee has asked for it to be done individually rather than paired up, so to avoid any confusion I have separated the names. Also, I can't control who votes so please only vote once to keep things fair and also my friendly request for non-ME/DT109 people, please do not interfere with the polling so it is more accurate. :)

DEADLINE: 25 Feb 2011, 9AM

2) Selective Results Released

Yes, that's right our semester 4 selectives results are ready for collection at AAD. So do make your way over to AAD to find out how you did!

3) CPR Certs

Okay, I know there are still a few of you all who have not received your CPR certificates. I am not sure if it is still of much help for you all seeing as it expires in 2011. But, if the PMS school requires it and/or you just want it because you did pay to sit for the CPR exam and HAVE NOT gotten your cert please follow the instructions below:

a) Write an email to medt109@gmail.com

b) subject title: "CPR Cert" and make sure you have your NAME exactly as you want the certificate to say.

This shall be my final call, because I do not want to leave it lingering on any longer. I apologize for some who I didn't get to hand your CPR certs to because my bag was robbed October last year, and with it several certs were stolen as well. So yes, my apologies for any inconvenience caused.

DEADLINE: 1 MARCH 2011

4) ECA Briefing

For PMS students especially, your ECA report will be important as it will be sent to the PMS schools in your file. So, do keep checking back on the batch blog regularly and I will also make the announcement considering the DETAILS of the ECA report briefing.

5) MOCK PMS Matching

I heard the previous batch did something really helpful which is a mock PMS matching. Doing so will let you know the competition for the various universities in PMS according to popularity in our batch. This may or may not help you re-decide the sequence of your PMS choices, however this is still in progress I shall speak to SRC about how to get this done for you all.

If there are any questions or any suggestions you would like to share, please send them to the batch email. I would be more than happy to comply if it is sensible and is in our batch's best interest. :)

Cheers,

Eldwin

Okay! So, I know probably a lot of you will be interested in this. But i'm equally aware that no one will be around that time because we are all busy running around kampungs conducting surveys for com med. So at least you are informed and if you do have any questions you would like to ask, perhaps some of your juniors might be going and you can ask them? :)

Cheers,

Student Power

2011-02-09T12:13:00.003+08:00

Have you always been the kind of pro-active person that believes in the power of the student voice as a body? Well, if you are interested then this is just the talk for you!

Back in Sixties, it was the golden age of the student movement in Malaysia. However, the young generation nowadys seem have forgotten about the history behind - the struggle that has rocked the campus and the national politics nearly half a century ago.

Fahmi Reza, a filmaker, will be the speaker of the lecture. His documentary "10 Years Before Independence" had won the "Most Outstanding Human Rights Film’ in festival filem Freedom Film Fest in 2007. He will unveil the true story of the rise time of the struggle of students in the era '60an throughpublic lectures. The lecture will be delivered through multimedia presentation, by using images, photos, videos, newspaper articles, archival material and interviews to IMU students.

The FB event link is here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=192115920817923
Invite your friends that might be intersted!!

This is the promoting video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBbsQ0hSIKk

Please spread this around!!

GP Posting Report

2011-02-07T17:11:00.002+08:00

Greetings M109! I really hope every1 has been enjoying their holidays to the max and a Happy Chinese New Year to you all. :)

A few people have asked me about the GP Posting Report and when the deadline is, so here are the answers below:

1) When is the debriefing session?

The debriefing session will be slotted into the semester 5 timetable, so when the timetable is released (which should be very soon!) then you will know when.

2) When is the deadline for the GP posting report?

After the debriefing session, i'm told we will have a short presentation of our reports and then hand it up personally to AAD and for it to be confirmed by signature. The details are sketchy, but shall keep ya'll posted as I get the news. For now, let's just make it a really safe bet to finish your GP posting report before starting sem 5. :)

3) What format do we follow for the GP posting report?

Do hold on to your GP Posting booklets! The format and requirements are listed out in detail for you to follow.

That's all for now. Any more questions do not hesitate to FB me, SMS me or in fact use any form of modern communication to get in touch with me. I always welcome it.

Cheers!

This would include your lectures, PBLs, MMS,lab sessions, Exams(Theory and OSCE), and feedback sessions for the exams.All things academic really.It doesnt have to be detailed but i need a general idea. I know some of you have already finished, but I would really appreciate it if you could give us a few suggestions as you guys probably know the most. It would be amazing if i could get feedback from you guys by say, Wednesday or Thrusday. Thank you very much for all your help.

********************************

So above was the email I recently received from Mahen. Being that we are the most senior batch in medicine now, I'm sure we have more than our share of input we would like to make in terms of improvements in the academic curriculum. Yes, you're right we won't be seeing the changes - but I reckon it is the very least we can do to try to help our current/future juniors. So if you have ANY FEEDBACK at all or any constructive criticism about IMU Medicine Curriculum, do send it to the batch email and I will compile it all and send it in a single email to SRC. Let your voice be heard! :-)

Regards,

Eldwin
