PERISAI 5th INTERVENTION

(Persiapan Ujian Bersama CIMSA)

CIMSA USU

On Friday, 30th April 2021, CIMSA USU conducted the fifth intervention of the Community Development Project called PERISAI (Persiapan Ujian Bersama CIMSA). This intervention was held online using Zoom. We discussed the 2nd Metabolic System block's problem on this intervention. We began at 7.00 pm and ended at 9.22 pm.
PERISAI is the first community development project by CIMSA USU. This community development project aims to assist Universitas Sumatera Utara's first-year medical students in preparing for their midterm examination. Besides that, we also hope that doing this project can improve the quality of hospital workers, especially doctors, in the future.

Sixty-eight participants joined this intervention. At 7.00 pm, the intervention began with an introduction from the MC, followed by greetings from the Local Coordinator CIMSA USU, Community Development Coordinator, and Community Development Officer. After the greetings, we took a photo together led by the Documentation Committee.

Then, the participants were put to the breakout room according to their groups, then did a pretest to assess their knowledge before the discussion began. After that, the mentor will help them to answer 30 questions that the committee had prepared about the block. They took the post-test after the discussion and then returned to the zoom's main room. Finally, MC asked several participants' opinions before ending the event at 9.22 pm. 
From this intervention, most of the participants' scores improved after the discussion. According to from pretest and post-test results, the average score before the coaching was 61,03. However, after the intervention, the average score for the post-test increased by 31,08 points. The average score for the post-test was 92,9. Based on the satisfaction questionnaire, the average score from participants were around 99%
After the intervention, we are happy to see that the participants actively answered and asked during the discussion with the mentors. From this event, we hope that this intervention would help the first-year medical students of Universitas Sumatera Utara in their preparation for the 2nd Metabolic System block's midterm examination. We also hope that after joining the fifth intervention of PERISAI, the participants will have more confidence in answering the exam's questions and eventually better understand this exam.
