The administration of Crimea State Medical University (CSMU) of Ukraine has made a re-appeal on the 9th of October 2013 to the Health Minister, Dato Seri Dr S. Subramaniam upon receiving the Malaysian Medical Council’s (MMC) report recently. On the 8th of October 2013, CSMU received a fax from MMC highlighting several areas of concern to be addressed before re-appealing for its recognition.
Among the several highlighted concerns is for CSMU to increase the number of clinical hours for future Malaysian students and emphasis is to be given to Tropical Medicine. Besides the above, the medical council has also furnished the university with the Malaysian entry requirement.
In a written reply to Dr.S.Subramaniam, the chancellor of CSMU, Prof A.A Babanin has ensured that all compliance suggested will be met for Malaysian students. CSMU went a step further by ensuring Dr. Subra that they would employ Malaysian based lectures for several critical clinical key areas for the Malaysian students apart from the suggested increase in clinical hours. CSMU will also send several of its lectures to Malaysian public and private universities for exposure on the Malaysian system where the medical council will be updated on the process.
According to Prof Babanin, CSMU intends to find a permanent long term solution for Malaysian students hence resolving any future concerns. In order for the said mechanism to be put into practice, CSMU requires the Malaysian recognition and hopes Dr Subra will expedite his delivery.
All suggested changes is to be done without affecting the Ukrainian accreditation and MMC is welcomed to inspect CSMU at any time in future upon recognition.
It has been now over three weeks since the proposal has been brought to Dr Subra and we are awaiting for his prompt response as there is no further reason for any delay.
In another development, about 2800 medical students from Egypt have been given an offer to join 29 local public and private institutions with the aid of PTPTN. The only concerns raised by a MMC council member, Datuk Dr Abdul Razak is that the curriculum in Egypt and Malaysia are not the same. “In the local institutions, students enroll in the medical programme after foundation studies whereas students normally leave for medical schools in Egypt after finishing the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination”.
A check by Keadilan with the MMC entry requirement for local medical schools revealed that foundation is a compulsory requirement for entry into a medical program. The following regulation has been put into practice to ensure the highest quality and competence of the medical profession.
