Hello, CIMSA!

As a medical student, research is very important. Research allows us to pursue our interests, to learn something new, to hone our problem solving skills and to challenge ourselves in a new way. Research is part of the foundation skills med students have to learn and have to take with them into their future careers because a doctor is a lifelong learner who is required to to continue learning. The more advanced technology requires an evidence-based practice to support good care and services for patients. To support the success of this evidence-based practice requires understanding of research.

Therefore, SCORE CIMSA UPH is concerned about the importance of providing an education about research to the medical students of Universitas Pelita Harapan. SCORE wants to introduce what is research which is very important to us medical students as we are aspiring to be a doctor.

All the participants were given a pre-event challenge, where they shared posters about how they prefer to do their research. We also invited dr. Petra Octavian Wahjoepramono Sp.Bs to speak at this event, as he had a lot of experience about research. We were given an interactive lecture and an insight about research, including what research is, what we should do and HOW can we do it. Through this event, there were fun activities that were done, such as small group discussion. Participants were divided into 4 groups and were given a case to solve and presented their discussion in a 3 minutes plenary. SCORE CIMSA UPH hopes that this event will be useful for the participants and start doing their research the right way.
