INJECTION
(International Journal Dissection)
SCOPE CIMSA-BEM KM FK UNAND
According to research from Central Connecticut State University regarding the “World’s Most Literate Nations Rankings” in March 2016, Indonesia was ranked 60th out of 61 countries regarding reading interest. Followed with UNESCO data in 2016, the interest in reading of Indonesians was a concern, which was only 0.001%. This means that out of 1,000 Indonesians, only 1 person is an active reader. Apart from low reading interest, English proficiency is currently quite urgent, considering the wide range of exchanges in various scientific fields from various countries makes us as the millennial generation have to master English well so that we are not left behind with other countries. According to data from the EF English Proficiency Index, Indonesia only achieved an average score of 50.06 for English proficiency, so it was ranked 61 out of 100 countries in the world and ranked 13 out of 25 countries in Asia. From these data, it can be concluded that English proficiency in Indonesia is still low.
Thus, SCOPE CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand promoted a Community Development called “INJECTION” to provide information and dissemination of international medical journals to Unand’s medical students to initiate a change in perspective on global health issues and improve English language skills which will be explained by English language course institutions and lecturer of FK Unand.

This activity is in accordance with the 4th SDGs, that is "Ensuring Inclusive Education and Encouraging Long-Life Learning Opportunities for All People". This activity also supports the CIMSA Program: “Human Resources for Health”.
On 12-13th September 2020, SCOPE CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand has conducted pre-intervention of INJECTION. In this pre-intervention, SCOPE members received material on "How to Review an International Medical Journals" which the topic was focused on "the Danger of Using e-Cigarettes" by FK Unand lecturer, dr. Ilmiawati, PhD, so that we do not only understand how to review an international medical journals, we are also aware of the global health issues that are still happening around us. We also received material on “How to Write an Article” by LBPP LIA’s speaker which was delivered very interactively. The speaker was not only teaching us on how to make articles in English, but also taught us on how to teach another members about how to write an articles in English and how to choose the right grammar in an interesting and easiest way to understand.

We hope that all the preparation and learning that we have undertaken during the pre-intervention can be utilized for the next interventions, so that INJECTION can be implemented well and be useful, especially for FK Unand students batch 2018-2019.
