zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You are now entering into a new and exciting phase in your life that will prepare you for a career in the medical sciences. You will find that your university education will be vastly different from what you have experienced at school. You will be expected to undertake self-directed and independent learning far more then you have been used with support from dedicated and experienced Faculty members. All of this is to prepare you to enter into the workforce where attributes such as critical and analytical thinking, independence and creativity are sought after. . The courses that you will undertake in the next 4-5 years will prepare you for a career which will prepare you to enter into the healthcare profession whether as a doctor, nurse or pharmacist providing direct patient care or providing essential behind the scenes support by way of working in laboratories or behind technologically advanced diagnostic equipment in clinic or hospitals. The lectures, tutorials and the practical’s that you will be attending in the course of the next few years is however but a foundation and a stepping stone to what we hope will prepare you for a life-long learning experience. In the words of perhaps one of the most accomplished and greatest physicians in recent times, Sir William Osler,

"The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life course,

for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation."

We hope that you will take the opportunity to engage productively not just with your academic lecturers and mentors but also with your fellow students some of whom have come from different parts of the world. We also sincerely hope that your campus life will not be restricted to the pursuit of an academic qualification alone, but that you will use this opportunity to enrich your minds in other worthy pursuit whether it is community service, sports or music and culture.

I wish you all well in your pursuit of an academic degree in the medical sciences and hope that you will emerge from your time at the Faculty of Medicine University of Malaya as a life-long learner with a passion and commitment to your chosen vocation.

DEAN’S MESSAGE 2014/2015

UNDERGRADUATE G U I D E B O O K

Welcome to the Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya.

You have been selected amongst hundreds of applicants from all over the country to enter into one of the programs at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya. The University of Malaya’s Faculty of Medicine is a national leader in medicine and the health sciences with many distinguished academic staff that are nationally and internationally renowned. By joining us you are taking an important first step on the path to becoming part of this distinguished group.

UNDERGRADUATE GUIDEBOOK 2014/2015 | FACULTY OF MEDICINE , UNIVERSITI OF MALAYA | http://medicine.um.edu.my 2

This handbook has been prepared as a guide for you in the faculty. Its content is by no means exhaustive but will be very useful for you especially in your first year in this faculty. Being a student in this faculty will take a good 4- 5 years of your life depending on the programme you enrolled for. To obtain the degree, you have to put in a lot of hard work powered by dedication, sacrifice, unwavering determination, perseverance and commitment to ensure you will become not only a knowledgeable and skilful health care professional but also one who practices holistically. The education in this faculty does not stop upon graduation, but merely acts as a stepping stone to a life-time of learning in your chosen field. Medical education does not only revolve around science, but also involves the art of practising it. We want you to be curious about the programme. Everything that goes on in this institution is a learning opportunity. The skills that you will acquire include good communication skills between you and your colleagues, your patients and their families and also with members of the community. You will find that your teachers, seniors and friends are mentors in your quest to become good and ethical health care professionals, thus providing you the best apprenticeship you could possibly have. The programme in the faculty is also about character building, and, you will need to develop appropriate attitudes that contribute to the qualities necessary of your chosen profession. We hope this guidebook can be fully used to your advantage in better understanding the programme and the people entrusted to run it. The Dean’s Office along with all its support groups will try to make your stay a memorable and a fruitful one. We would like to wish you every success in your programme and hope that the years that you will spend in this faculty will be among the best in your life. Again, I wish you a warm welcome and I look forward to meeting each and every one during the course of your study with us. PROFESSOR DATIN DR HAMIMAH BINTI HJ HASSAN Deputy Dean of Undergraduate

Establishment of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Malaya Up to the 1950’s, the Faculty of Medicine, University of Singapore, which was known previously as King Edward VII College of Medicine had been the only medical school in Malaya and Singapore. The output of doctors at that time was small: 60 per year. Many Malaysians had to go overseas to seek undergraduate medical education. It was not until 1960 that a determined effort was made to double the intake of students to 120 per year in Singapore. In 1960, a board of studies of the University of Malaya was appointed to study the feasibility of establishing a medical school with its own teaching hospital. The board recommended the early establishment of both. To this end, the Government agreed and the Ministries of Education and of Health provided the necessary capital funds. In 1962, a Dean for the Faculty of Medicine was appointed.

The University of Malaya was established on 8 October 1949 as a national institution to serve the higher educational needs of the Federation of Malaya and of Singapore. In 1960, the Government of the Federation of Malaya indicated that the Kuala Lumpur Division of the University of Malaya should become the national University in the Federation with effect from the beginning session 1962/63. Likewise, the Singapore Division should become the national University of Singapore. Steps to achieve the establishment of these two separate universities were finalized during the year 1961 and the University of Malaya was established on 1

st January 1962. The student

population at that time was about 330. Since then, the University has grown and developed rapidly. Today, the student population has grown to almost 30,000.

FIRST BATCH- 1969

UNDERGRADUATE GUIDEBOOK 2014/2015 | FACULTY OF MEDICINE , UNIVERSITI OF MALAYA | http://medicine.um.edu.my 38

The first batch of medical students was admitted to the Faculty in 1964. A year earlier, these students, 40 of them, were placed in the Faculty of Science as pre-medical students. Construction of the faculty building began in July 1963, was completed in 10 months, so that the pioneer students were able to begin their course in May 1964. The building programme continued and the second phase was ready in time for Year II teaching the following May. Throughout this period, planning, building, ordering and receiving of equipment, recruitment of staff, organization of the Faculty, and discussions on the curriculum continued unremittingly. Phase I of the University Malaya Medical Centre consisting of the main block together with podium or “technical box” (operating theatres, radio-diagnostic, accident and emergency, polyclinic, pharmacy, central sterile supply, cafeteria, administration and medical records) was completed in December 1966, and the first wards were opened as on March 1967. Phase II of the Hospital consisting of Paediatric, Maternity and Rehabilitation Units was completed in December 1967, and became functional in March 1968. The total construction period for the Medical Centre consisting of the faculty departments, hospital (740 beds), Hostel for Clinical Students, Nurses Quarters with Nursing School and Central Animal House was three and a half years. Over the past three decades, the medical centre has expanded tremendously, and today it has 900 beds (the number will be increased to 1200 beds after renovation). Philosophy of the Faculty of Medicine The philosophy of the Faculty is to mould students to be competent, highly-skilled and knowledgeable health professionals, who can work with others as a team, who are caring and concerned about their patients and society, and who can emerge as leaders in their community.

understand that most promising results from

laboratory or bench-scale work should be tested

and optimised on a much larger integrated

process, which closely simulates the conditions

that would be experienced on a full commercial

plant in order to provide a high degree of

confidence in the ultimate performance of the

process and product. Our pilot plants are also

providing training to undergraduates of other

local universities and personnel of local and

multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Our Semisolid Dosage Form and Solid Dosage Form pilot plants represent two entities of unique state-of-the-art in teaching and research in pharmaceutical formulation and production. These pilot plants are not only an important step on the road to commercialisation but are also beneficial for undergraduate students as part of their Industrial training.
