MENTION
(Medical Education)
SCOME CIMSA Unimal
Adaptation to a new environment can make new students experience stress that can have a negative impact on the learning process, academic and non-academic values and even interfere with the achievements to be achieved. As a new student in medicine, of course, at first, there will be a feeling of confusion about what steps to take done for the future. Like thinking about what kind of learning method is good to be applied, what books should be read also what medical devices are needed to be owned, and of course this is the basic thing that needs to be known. Not only that, but the cost of tuition is also a factor that must be considered to be able to support education to the end. One way to be able to meet the costs of education in a study is by participating in a scholarship program. With the scholarship, you can help ease the burden of expenses. From the scholarship, the motivation in learning can improve and encourage them to become outstanding students. Because it takes some debriefing before entering the realm of college for new students.
On September 12th, 2021, SCOME CIMSA Unimal held an introduction to books, medical devices, learning systems, and Scholarship seminar at the Faculty of Medicine. This activity is named MENTION (Medical Education) which is aimed at new students of the Malikussaleh University Medical Faculty. As a yearly event, 2021 MENTION held the event by online because of the pandemic, so we can not meet at the campus to share about this activity, and everything was online, as well as disseminating information on this activity using the publication media Instagram and conveying information to all new students through the 2021 batch Whatsapp group. This is routinely carried out every year at the beginning of new student lectures. The MENTION event invited several presenters who were none other than students of the Malikussaleh University medical students, batch 2020 and 2019, including Mazaya Putri (2019) and Muthia Verza (2020) as presenters of medical books, Daffa Ananda Azhar (2019) and Muthia Verza (2020) as presenters of medical devices. Also, we invited dr. Fury Maulina as presenter of scholarship seminar. As the presenters well known have more insight into books, medical devices, known to be superior in the academic field, has a lot of best experience and have good public speaking so that the material presented by the speaker can be well received and easily understood by the participants
In addition to the introduction of books, medical devices, learning systems, and scholarship seminar at the Faculty of Medicine, this MENTION event is also intended so that students between generations get to know each other to create a close friendship between students of the Unimal Faculty of Medicine wherein one of the sessions at the MENTION event, SCOME CIMSA Unimal held a learning sharing session filled with previous batches, other SCO members and also SCOME CIMSA Unimal also invited alumni or batches who were undergoing co-ass to share their learning experiences at the medical school with new students.
During the pre-MENTION activity, there were around 90 students who registered, but because some of them were doing journey to Lhokseumawe due to the college will be held face to face, so only about 60 new students attended. The MENTION event was also attended by CIMSA Unimal Officials. New students were very enthusiastic during the material and when asking the presenters, it was seen that the new students had a strong enthusiasm for learning. SCOME CIMSA Unimal hopes that with this MENTION activity, new students can be more enthusiastic about studying because they have prepared a lecture carefully. Welcome to the jungle and have a good study time!
