3 Faculty of MEDICINE AND HEALTH SCIENCES Intellect. Research. Excellence. At UCSI University s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, patient care and the pursuit of knowledge go hand in hand. From community healthcare events to research at Harvard, we empower our students to make a difference in the lives of their patients, now and in the future. At UCSI University s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FOMHS), the standard of our graduates speaks for us. Not only do our students consist of the best and the brightest they are also among the kindest and most professional. We insist on these qualities because our experience shows that among patients and even their peers, competent and compassionate doctors, nurses, and optometrists stand out. Graduates must be experts in their fields and possess well-developed clinical and interpersonal skills. And when it comes to a life-or-death situation, their decisions must be timely and their actions assured. Hands-on and problem-based learning sums up the environment at the Faculty. Instead of mere rote learning, students are groomed to think and base their actions on practices backed by scientific research. This means our graduates doctors, nurses and optometrists alike do not blindly follow instructions. They consider and question every instruction to ensure the health of the patient is placed above all else even tradition. Each curriculum is designed to provide students with as much hands-on experience as possible. Medical and nursing students spend many hours attached to hospitals where they are given the opportunity to serve patients of various ages and experience specialisation in different clinical settings. They also organise charity and community events organ donation drives, breast cancer awareness initiatives and fundraisers to connect and serve both rural and city folks. UCSI s collaboration with a leading optical retailer and in-house optometry centre gives our optometry students an early start in their careers and provide familiarity with the latest optical equipment in the market.

In addition to investigative components in the curriculum, students are guided by lecturers who are esteemed researchers in their own right. On the international front, the Faculty has hosted and supervised research students from the University Medical Centre of Groningen whose medical programme is ranked third best in the Netherlands and UCSI s fourth year medical students have the option of spending an elective posting there as well. We have also sent a medical student for an intercalated research year at Harvard. This is just a microcosm of the culture of excellence at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Your pursuit of knowledge will see you challenging convention and tradition to discover new dimensions in medical, nursing and optometry research. You will learn from and work with some of the brightest minds in healthcare as you contribute to the expansion of knowledge. You will make a difference in the lives of your patients and entire communities. And you will be the best that you can be. 4

4 DOCTOR OF MEDICINE (MQA/FA 4671; 11/2015) Accredited by the Malaysian Medical Council and listed by the World Health Organisation, UCSI s Doctor of Medicine stands out for its graduates who excel in terms of medical knowledge and leadership. International collaborations with global institutions such as Harvard, University Medical Centre of Groningen in the Netherlands, and Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in the UK, ensure that our students are able to compete with their global peers. The programme focuses on five areas basic medical services; clinical and therapeutic methods, procedures, and investigations; community health and family medicine; communication skills and professional competence. The course Behavioural Science, Communication Skills, and Personal Professional Development sees medical students organise community health events that enhance their leadership and communication skills. Students who are interested in careers as clinician-scientists will find tremendous support from the Faculty and UCSI. Fourth year students have the option of spending an elective posting at the University Medical Centre of Groningen, whose medical programme is ranked third best in the Netherlands. Students spend the first two years of study in the UCSI Kuala Lumpur campus where they will strengthen their theoretical knowledge. From the third year onwards, they will be based in the UCSI Terengganu Campus. Unlike hospitals in Kuala Lumpur, there are less medical students in Terengganu hospitals and the students have more opportunities to perform medical procedures instead of just watching in a group. This will subsequently ensure a smoother transition from university student to houseman and finally doctor, as the students are exposed to patient interaction early on instead of just during their senior years. TEACHING For the Doctor of Medicine programme, teaching revolves around giving students a head start in their careers. Unlike mere rote learning, the curriculum is designed around four main thrusts - Student-centred Learning, Problem-based Learning, Integrated Learning and Computer-assisted Learning. The first two approaches encourage proactive behaviour and ownership as well as comprehensive understanding instead of mere memorisation. Integrated Learning focuses on early clinical exposure in the form of numerous hospital visits to enhance the students physical examination, communication and physical examination skills. Under Computer-assisted Learning, multimedia tools are incorporated including a computerised multi-purpose laboratory and 3D cyber anatomy software for anatomy dissection sessions. Web streaming symposiums with the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh (UK) are implemented weekly at the Terengganu Campus lecture hall. This series of symposiums deals with advances in various aspects of medicine and streams directly from Edinburgh. Following successful completion of the medical degree, graduates are eligible for provisional registration with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC). After serving two compulsory housemanship years, they are eligible for full registration in Malaysia, but Malaysian citizens will be required to undertake another two years of compulsory service by the Ministry of Health.

5 BACHELOR OF OPTOMETRY (HONS) (N/726/6/0040; TEACHING UCSI s School of Optometry focuses on a solid curriculum, ample hands-on experience and lecturers who are experienced optometrists themselves. During clinical trainings, students at UCSI learn in a simulated optometric environment, practising on each other before moving on to real patients, under the tutelage of experienced lecturers. This training provides procedural experiences in case history taking, performing eye examinations, employing diagnostic techniques, and applying the necessary communication skills to discuss treatment plans and options with patients. Students also get to practise their business and entrepreneurial skills at the in-house UCSI Optometry Retail Centre. 12/2018) UCSI University s (UCSI) Bachelor of Optometry (Hons) degree is a four-year undergraduate programme conducted at the UCSI Kuala Lumpur campus. In the early years of the optometry degree, students will be taught the basic human sciences. This includes human and ocular anatomy; how the human body, muscles, nerves, eye and other organs are positioned and how they function. In the biochemistry aspect, students will learn about the chemical function of the human body. Upon having a firm grasp of the basics, students will then move on to learning how to use various eye equipments and perform eye examinations. These skills are highly relevant to students who aim to work in the retail aspect of optometry, which involves dispensing spectacles and contact lenses. Students of this degree will be trained in every aspect of ocular health including preventive care, visual therapy and rehabilitation. They will be able to diagnose and manage eye diseases in addition to managing patients with special needs such as low vision and other visual problems. In line with the business and entrepreneurial aspect of an optometry career, UCSI has a purpose-built optometry retail centre and optometry clinic on campus. The UCSI Optometry Retail Centre provides students with first-hand experience in serving patients and conducting different eye tests under the careful guidance of their lecturers who are registered optometrists themselves. Coupled with the latest cutting-edge optometry equipment, these ensure that students are adequately prepared to deliver world-class eye care for their patients. According to the Optical Act 1991, only a person who is registered with the Malaysian Optical Council is allowed to practise Optometry in Malaysia. Optometry Centres need qualified optometrists to prescribe spectacles and contact lenses as well as conduct eye care examinations on the customers. In addition to being a registered health professional, optometrists have the option of being self-employed or a partner of an optometry retail centre. This is ideal for those who have an entrepreneurial attitude as there is no cap to the remuneration from a retail centre it depends on the hard work and initiative of the owner. Optometrists are also in demand in government and private hospitals, manufacturers of ophthalmic products, and as consultants for insurance companies and industrial safety programmes. Besides that, they can also opt for the health officer positions at the Ministry of Health, World Health Organisation office, and community health clinics as well as at the Association for the Blind. A career in academia or research is also an option.

9 ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS (N/720/5/0050, 01/2019) Information Technology (IT) is at the top of the agenda for modernising healthcare systems in Malaysia and all over the world. The Tele-health Project launched in 2000 paved the way for advancing IT in both private and public health sectors. The realisation that healthcare data and information can be effectively managed and communicated using computer systems has catalysed the emergence of Healthcare Informatics. Just as surely as it has reshaped the fields of commerce and industry, IT will change the practice of every healthcare provider/professional and healthcare assistant. It is central to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery. This sees the pressing need for more healthcare professionals who are trained in Healthcare Informatics. This Advanced Diploma in Healthcare Informatics is designed to equip healthcare and IT professionals with the knowledge, skills and understanding required to ensure that the healthcare sector and ultimately, the patients, gets the best out of IT.
