MASTERPIECE
(Medical Students Paper and Speech Competition)
SCOPE&SCORE CIMSA FK UNS
MASTERPIECE 2021 is a scientific paper (in this case, essay and public poster) and English speech competition for medical fields students in Java, held by SCORE, SCOME, and SCOPE CIMSA FK UNS. The competition itself started from first wave submission on December 16th -- 31st 2020, the second wave in first – 15th January 2021, extended wave on 16th—24th January 2021, final rounds on February 28th, 2021, and closing ceremony on March 6th, 2021. Java island was chosen as our participation scope because MASTERPIECE 2021 was the first competition held jointly by three SCOs of CIMSA FK UNS. Regarding the Covid-19 Pandemic and its impact on immune and psychological status, we chose psychoneuroimmunology as MASTERPIECE 2021's theme.
In the future, we believe scientific skills and awareness of things surrounding our fields will be stapled to answer the ever-changing and ever-coming problem as inspiring medical professionals. With this realization, MASTERPIECE 2021 was held to help the students develop their scientific interest – the stem of scientific skills – and the awareness outside the college classroom through a competition.
The series of events started in late August 2020 with the committee's organization which participants come from the three SCOs, followed by 3,5 months of preparation. According to the mentioned timeline, we opened submissions for three branches of competition: scientific paper -- consists of a scientific essay and public poster – and English speech. At the end of the submission, 22 teams of public posters, 11 participants from the scientific essay, and 20 participants from English speech were gathered across Java Island.
Works of participants were reviewed by our judges, which consists of 3 for public poster, 1 for essay, and 2 for English speech—all from UNS lecturers. We took 6 participants and a team from each branch as finalists. Before the final rounds, we held a technical meeting for finalists and a bioethical training session for English speech finalists.
The culmination, final rounds were held on February 28th, 2021, for all branches and were closed with winners announced in the closing ceremony. Gladfully, the final rounds, and closing ceremony run smoothly with participants who seemed to enjoy their time.
We hope MASTERPIECE 2021 gives a foundation so the next MASTERPIECE can be an inspiring legacy for CIMSA FK UNS and medical fields students around Indonesia.
