un Abdullah Rasmi Pejabat ACMS Trent Park, London

ll

Allianze University College of Medical Sciences (AUCMS) kini bertapak teguh di utara kota London dengan perasmian pejabat ACMS Trent Park Limited oleh bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi pada Jumaat.

ACMS Trent Park Limited yang pada diwujudkan 31 Jan 2013 dengan modal berbayar 100,000 pound sterling adalah syarikat yang diwujudkan bagi menguruskan kampus AUCMS London selain menguruskan pembelian bangunan yang kini menjadi kampus kolej universiti itu.

Menurut siaran media AUCMS hari ini, Raja Muda Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail dan Raja Puan Muda Perlis Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil turut berangkat ke majlis perasmian pejabat ACMS Trent Park di London.

Sebelum menjadi kampus AUCMS London, kira-kira 20 bangunan yang terletak di kawasan seluas 21 hektar itu digunakan oleh Middlesex Polytechnic sebelum dinaik taraf sebagai Middlesex University dalam tahun 1992.

Universiti itu kemudiannya berpindah ke kampus baharunya di Hendon dalam tahun 2012 dan hartanah bernilai kira-kira 50 juta pound sterling itu dibeli oleh ACMS Trent Park pada Julai 2013.

Pada Julai tahun ini, ACMS Trent Park mengambil alih Trent Park Campus di bahagian Utara London daripada Middlesex University, yang merupakan kampus luar pesisir pertama untuk AUCMS yang beribu pejabat di Kepala Batas, Pulau Pinang.

Sementara itu Presiden AUCMS Prof Datuk Dr Zainudin Wazir berkata, dalam tempoh terdekat pihaknya merancang untuk melaksanakan program MD-AUCMS di kampus AUCMS London bagi membolehkan para pelajar perubatannya mendapat pendedahan dan pengalaman di luar negara.

Melalui program itu, para pelajar tahun pertama dan dua akan menjalani pengajian praklinikal selama empat bulan manakala pengajian klinikal untuk pelajar tahun tiga hingga lima selama dua bulan di kampus London itu.

Dr Zainuddin juga berkata, perancangan masa depannya ialah untuk menawarkan program-program United Kingdom pada peringkat sarjana muda dan sarjana khususnya dalam jurusan Kewangan Islam, perubatan, pergigian dan pengurusan perniagaan.

Selain itu program penyelidikan dan pembangunan serta perkhidmatan akan turut dilaksanakan supaya para graduannya kelak mudah mendapat pekerjaan dalam pasaran global.

Turut hadir pada majlis perasmian itu ialah isteri Abdullah, Tun Jeanne Abdullah dan Pesuruhjaya Tinggi Malaysia ke United Kingdom Datuk Seri Zakaria Sulong.

For Future Doctors: The Standards of Medical Education in Malaysia

For Future Doctors: The Standards of Medical Education in Malaysia and Its Acceptability by David Quek

November 17, 2011 by Pagalavan Letchumanan

 Since I started blogging in January 2010, I brought up various issues regarding the standards of medical education, commercialisation of medical educations and oversupply of doctors by 2015. Many did not believe what I had said and some even accused me of being selfish, trying to save my rice bowl and preventing people from becoming doctors. The aim of my blog is to educate the public and budding doctors regarding what being a doctor is all about as well as the current and future prospects of doing medicine. You should never do medicine for wrong reasons.
2 days ago, my blog was quoted by a writer in Malaysiakini (http://pagalavan.com/2011/11/15/malaysiakini-storm-is-coming-for-our-medical-profession/) who even borrowed my title. Today, I was quoted again by Dr. David Quek who had given an excellent speech at the Medico-Legal conference in KL http://myhealth-matters.blogspot.com/2011/11/standards-of-medical-education-in.html. I was actually invited to attend this conference but due to work commitments, I could not attend. Dr David Quek is a MMC council member and immediate past president of MMA. He is the best person to tell us  all, that what I have been saying all this while is coming soon………………. Please see the highlighted paragraphs
ON 22/11/2011, I will be interviewed by Astro regarding the prospect in doing medicine in this country. It will be in Tamil to educate the Indian population in this country. It may be hired on air somewhere early next year. Malaysian Nanban will also be writing an article on medical education by quoting my blog.

Glut of Medical Graduates—Too Many, Too Soon…

The past 5 to 10 years have been a watershed period for medical education in the country. During this time, Malaysia has embarked on an ambitious if misguided (in my opinion) approach to rapidly attaining ‘self-sufficiency’ in health care providers for the nation’s perceived needs and demands. For doctors, it was finally announced that there is now a directed plan by the government to try and achieve a doctor-population ratio of 1:400 from the current (2010) 1:903.

 

To achieve this, some 34 medical schools have been now licensed by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), with almost 50 medical programmes (these include public medical schools teaming up with other foreign or local medical schools to form for-profit private joint medical programmes). The objective is to generate the requisite medical graduates to quickly fill in the projected and computed vacancies for the various public sector health facilities. The ultimate goal is to become a country with the so-called ‘recognised’ developed status doctor-population ratio of under 1:400. And we aim to do this in a short span of under 10 years—by 2020!

By comparison, the United Kingdom has some 32 medical schools for a population of 63 million, producing some 7,500 medical graduates per year. It is good to remember that the UK has had a long hallowed tradition of excellent medical services and education for centuries, with an extensive cohort of ready-made clinical teachers, professors and academicians. We are just about 45 years since we began our first medical programme at the University of Malaya, in 1965.

 

In UK, the annual output of medical graduates is around 7,500 and they are trained in 140 hospitals; in Australia 3,400 graduates are trained in 60 hospitals; in Hong Kong, 350 graduates in 13 hospitals; and in Singapore 150 graduates in 4 hospitals. In Malaysia, 2008, there were 2,274 graduates undergoing training in 38 hospitals and, since then, the number has increased tremendously, so much so that the Ministry of Health has had to increase the number of accredited hospitals for housemanship training, barely scraping by with sometimes just a single clinical specialist for each discipline, at more remote district hospitals.

 

 

And the truth is that we really don’t have a happy history of strong medical educational expertise and consistency of academicians; most of our senior and experienced medical specialists and professionals are in the private sector, or they would have migrated overseas. (It is estimated that as many as 40-50% of Singapore’s health service personnel are manned by Malaysian medical graduates!)

 

A few dedicated senior doctors are in our medical schools, but most are driven and run by relatively ‘young’ post-graduates or even specialist in training, whose ability to impart and inculcate ethical healthcare values and inspiration for compassionate care may be untutored, wanting or uninspired.

 

(I would at this juncture like to apologise to our younger colleagues out there, that this is not a disparaging remark to belittle their efforts at medical education or their skills—age and seniority are not requisites for medical excellence, for sure. Indeed when we are young, hungry, and foolish even, we tend to have the best and most aggressive approach to learning and hopefully teaching special skills—“see one, do one, teach one”.<!–[if !supportFootnotes]–>[1]<!–[endif]–> I began as a lecturer at the age of 29 years, and I fully recognise that we can all be good dedicated teachers, when we choose to become one—yet there is no denying that experience and seniority helps create a sense of stability and perhaps more importantly, ethical balance and professional equipoise, particularly in the field of medical education and the hugely important responsibility and privilege of training medical professionals!)

 

Yet by 2020, we are targeted to produce some 5000 medical graduates every year for our projected population of 35 million, excluding those others who might be returning from foreign medical colleges. This is by any measure a humongous number of new medical graduates, which any middle-income country can ill afford to sustain or worse to develop a sensible program at accommodating the requisite progressive training of young interns or even to provide a quality health service!

Academic medicine must deal with the clash of business and professional values.

Academic medicine must deal with the clash of business and professional values.

Abstract

Academic medicine faces unprecedented challenges, especially the impact of the changing and more business-oriented health care system on medical education. There is an inherent clash of values between business and medicine: among key business values are profit and competition, while among the traditional values of the medical profession are service, advocacy, and altruism. Business interests have already gained a central place in medicine, so the challenge has become how to utilize the positive elements of the entrepreneurial spirit to enhance professional values and advance academic medicine's central enterprise. The author maintains that to achieve that synthesis, the leaders of academic medicine must continue to engage in a dialogue with the broader academic community, the government, the public, and the health care industry. The dialogue must emphasize
(1) managing change rather than resisting it (such as focusing on the positive aspects of change, keeping sight of the fundamental professional values of medicine and medical education, and maintaining cool, rational judgment in the face of challenges);

(2) making academic medicine's case with many constituencies, such as the health care industry, government, and the public; and

(3) fostering professionalism by increasing medical schools' emphasis on this task, by ensuring that schools keep an appropriate balance between the science and the art of medicine, and by having faculty model appropriate professional values for their students. The author concludes that while change inevitably brings challenge and a sense of loss, it also brings the opportunity to help reshape medical education to meet the needs of society.

Abstract

Leadership in improving the education of doctors, while impressive, is not happening fast enough. While there are many obstacles, there is no time to waste in restructuring medical education to repair its present deficiencies, for otherwise outside forces could overwhelm today's education leaders with imperatives to make improvements on their own terms.

The first step in addressing present shortcomings is to establish measurable objectives for the education of doctors that are aligned with the legitimate expectations of society and the enduring precepts of the medical profession. To provide guidance in establishing these objectives, the AAMC launched the Medical School Objectives Project (MSOP) two years ago.

 This project is now close to completing its initial phase, which is to define the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values every medical student must demonstrate before graduating. Phase Two will be concerned with implementation (e.g., establishing assessment methods; improving faculty development; etc.).

As for aligning the outcomes of medical education with the precepts of the profession, nothing is more important: if doctors do not have high standards of professionalism--altruism, respect, compassion, honesty, integrity, and others--medicine's very survival is threatened. Medical educators must insist that their graduates demonstrate these attributes, through more careful admission criteria, more attention to medical professionalism in the curriculum and in the evaluation of students, more community service for students, and improved role modeling by faculty.

Leadership for the changes that are needed will not come from a once-in-a-lifetime leader of heroic proportions but from everyone within academic medicine leading the profession to its promising future through quality education.

Jom bekerjasama bukan bersaing - Prof Muhaya AUCMS

Dalam kehidupan ini, baik dalam suasana kekeluargaan di rumah atau pekerjaan di sesebuah institusi atau pejabat, sikap bekerjasama amat diperlukan. Orang yang bekerja dengan konsep bekerjasama akan memikirkan apakah yang boleh diberikan olehnya kepada majikan atau organisasi bukan mengharapkan apakah atau berapa banyakkah yang boleh diperolehnya. Hentikan sikap tidak mahu memberi tetapi hanya hendak menerima.

Sangat memenatkan hidup dalam keadaan bersaing ini berbanding bekerjasama. Penat dan tertekan kerana sentiasa tidak berpuas hati dan hendak membuktikan kehebatan. Sebenarnya hakikat kehidupan ini, lagi kita hendak tunjuk kita bagus, kita hebat dan kita yang terbaik lagi orang tidak suka. Oleh itu belajarlah menghargai orang dan jangan membeza-bezakan pekerja-pekerja; pandang semua orang bagus serta puji jangan keji mereka. Selalu sebut kebaikan pekerja dan elakkan berlaku sekali pekerja membuat kesilapan diungkit-ungkit berulang kali hingga terhapus kebaikannya sepanjang dia bekerja dengan kita.

Apabila kita bekerja kita mesti tahu apakah tujuan kita bekerja. Kalau kita bekerja tanpa tujuan atau tujuan kita hanya untuk mencapai kepuasan manusia, kita akan penat, tertekan dan akan kecewa. Bagi mengelakkan kekecewaan ini amalkan tiga perkara. Pertama, amalkan sikap bekerjasama bukan bersaing. Kedua, jangan mengharapkan apa-apa balasan atau penghargaan. Ketiga, jangan berasa diri kita terlalu penting, kalau kita tidak ada semua perancangan kerja akan gagal, sebaliknya semua orang penting dan saling lengkap melengkapkan.

Orang yang tenang dan bahagia akan sentiasa bersyukur dan dia tentukan tujuan dia bekerja untuk mencari nafkah yang halal untuk keluarga dan mencari reda Allah, agar mendapat kebahagiaan hidup di dunia dan akhirat.

Bayangkan ada tiga orang pekerja yang membuat kerja yang sama dan situasi yang sama tetapi dalam emosi dan perasaan yang berbeza. Contohnya pekerja kontrak membina masjid. Pekerja pertama, banyak mengeluh kerana terasa panas dan penat dengan kerja yang berat. Pekerja kedua, dia bekerja dengan kesedaran dia bekerja dengan tujuan mencari rezeki untuk isteri dan anaknya di rumah, dan kerana memikirkan tanggungjawabnya kepada keluarganya, masih mampu tersenyum walaupun dia letih dengan kerja itu.

Pekerja ketiga, bekerja dengan kesedaran dia bekerja selain dengan tujuan untuk mencari rezeki untuk keluarga, dia juga sedar tujuan dia bekerja untuk mendapat reda Allah. Kerana masjid yang dibinanya itu tempat beribadah dan dia mengharapkan pahala sebagai amalan jariahnya, "pencen kubur" apabila dia meninggal dunia nanti.

Pekerja ketiga, dia bukan nampak keletihannya sahaja tetapi dia sudah nampak kebahagiaan yang bakal menanti, ertinya biarpun fizikalnya meletihkan tetapi rohnya kuat. Kita hendak hidup dengan hati yang bersih dan hanya orang yang bekerjasama yang berhati bersih. Tidak ada orang yang memberi tidak mendapat. Orang yang mencari kebahagiaan akan mendapat kebahagiaan.

Lapan cara mencari kebahagiaan dalam hidup. Pertama, tidak membiarkan situasi buruk melemahkan semangat diri. Kedua, bersemangat dengan setiap apa-apa yang kita lakukan. Ketiga, yakin alam ini menyeronokkan dan kita perlu memburu keseronokan itu dengan cara yang betul dan dalam reda Allah.

Keempat, sentiasa melihat kepada pengajaran di sebalik apa-apa yang berlaku. Kelima, tidak merungut dan mengeluh. Keenam, fikiran negatif tidak mempengaruhi diri. Ketujuh, sentiasa bersyukur. Kelapan, tertarik kepada perkara yang lebih hebat daripada diri sendiri bukan dengan tujuan untuk bersaing tetapi untuk menghargai orang lain dan mengakui kebesaran Allah. Tidak ada orang yang bersaing akan tenang dan bahagia.

Kita hanya akan lihat apa yang ada dalam diri kita. Apa yang kita percaya itu yang kita akan lihat dan dapat. Kalau kita banyak kebaikan dalam diri, kita akan dapat melihat kebaikan dalam diri orang. Seterusnya, kalau kita percaya semua orang baik, kita akan dapat melihat kebaikan dalam diri orang "Jom jaga diri, jaga akidah, ibadah dan akhlak".
