In order to maintain the quality of medical education graduates in Indonesia, the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemenristek-Dikti) in collaboration with the Association of Indonesian Medical Education Institutions (AIPKI) will hold the Joint Stage Test (UTB) Phase 1 on June 29, 2019. This UTB is supposed to consist of three stages and each stage is held every 2 years. State and Private Medical Faculties under the auspices of AIPKI also participate in holding this exam, including the FKIK UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. This UTB Phase 1 is intended to measure the achievement of student competencies during their first 2 years of medical education.
