Hilltop Carpark Tarring
We are currently negotiating with the administration to have our hilltop carpark tarred. It will be properly painted to maximize space. However, it will not be sheltered. We have put up a poll on our blog ( imusrc.blogspot.com) to find out how much students are willing to pay for it per day. The closing date for the poll is 24th of July 2009. We will use the results from the poll to discuss with the administration. Should you have any suggestions/comments, kindly head over to imucampus.com.

Dear Batchreps,
I am the newly appointed Newsletter Manager of the IMU Buddhist Society and as my first task, I had to start-up a blog to publish the newsletters online and also to promote our society to all batches. Our committee has decided to publish our updates in all batch blogs, preferably at the sidebar with the following preferences:

• URL: http://imubuddhistsociety.blogspot.com/
  

• Icon
• Title of most recent item
• Thumbnail of most recent item
• Date of last update

We also hope that you can help promote our activites to your fellow batchmates to take part in our future activities.
On behalf of the IMU Buddhist Society, I would like to thank you very much for your cooperation.

May You Be Well And Happy :)

USMLE

1)

Dear Jodie,
The attached files are available in the I-drive.

It was really nice to meet you recently at IMU. I hope you are well.



During the meeting, we were asked to put together a proposal for our Kaplan Medical online course for your students. Please find this proposal attached with further details and pricing. You will see that we are offering a very significant discount for your students (a discount of $1100), but please note that this is a one-off offer, mainly due to the fact that the students have a very short window to enroll in the course (they must enroll before 28th July). Also, this course is currently being edited, but the new version will not be available until November, which is too late for your current batch of students.



Webinar

For your students to learn more about this course, we would like to host a special Webinar on Wednesday 15th July. The webinar will be at 8am US Eastern time, which is 8pm in Kuala Lumpur. If students can attend this session, I’m sure they will find it useful; they will not only learn about the course and how to enroll, but we will show them how to tackle USMLE-style questions. To attend, students can click the following link: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/944951330. All they need is a decent internet connection on a computer with speakers. Please note that I will also send you a separate invitation for the event that can be forwarded directly to your students.



I look forward to hearing from you, receiving feedback and answering any questions that you may have about this - I know that we are working to a very short time frame seeing as this particular batch of students need to sit the exam in November!



Best regards,

Vic

Hi all,

So sorry for flooding your emails. Here are some updates about the temperature screening that we've just gotten from Dr. Ranjit. Please take note of the changes and announce it to your batch okay. Thanks so much!

Volunteers for Screening of Students
from Vice Presidents (Medicine & Pharmacy)

Due to the large number of students coming in next week (coinciding with the new pharmacy, health sciences & medical sciences batches), there will be a temperature screening at every entrance point for all staff and students from 7.45am to 4.30pm on Monday 13 July. We will need about 50 volunteers to help screen the temperatures in different shifts and would appreciate it if all batches can send at least 5 volunteers each. For those who would like to volunteer, please give your names to your respective batch representatives. Thank you.

Batch reps, please collect the names and send it to imusrc@gmail.com by Thursday (9 July) okay? Thanks loads for your help :)

SRC 09/10

Hi all,

Could you spread the word please? Thanks so much :)

Next MCEC Issue - AIR Topic

The next Medical Curriculum & Examination Committee (MCEC) Meeting will be in August and I think it would be apt to bring up the issue of AIR Topic to the Faculty & Deans, seeing as many students seem unhappy with it. For this, I need all your views about the current AIR Topic structure, so that I can put together a cohesive proposal that would accurately represent the views of the Medicine majority. Therefore, for all those who feel strongly about AIR and/or who have suggestions on how to improve it, please sent your suggetions to imusrc@gmail.com (with subject 'AIR Topic (Jodie)'), or post it on www.imucampus.com, or alternatively, write it down on the SRC feedback board on ground floor notice board. Please include "How we can improve AIR Topic:" and "Why:" (or something to that extend).

Thank you.

Warmest regards,
Jodie
Vice President (Medicine)
