The first batch of young doctors from the Medical Profession Study Program, FKIK UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang has been officially received by Karsa Husada Hospital, Batu City in the Young Doctor Handover event.

The event was held in the Meeting Room on the 3rd Floor of the Outpatient Building of Karsa Husada Hospital, Batu City (26/10/2020).

The handover of young doctors represents a shared responsibility for professional students. Previously the responsibility of the faculty alone, it will now be under the supervision of the faculty and the relevant hospital. In addition to the handover, the young doctors are also briefed on mandatory materials for clinical clerkship students, such as quality assurance in hospitals, patient safety, the learning process, and evaluation of learning in teaching hospitals. This serves as an initial orientation for professional medical students to ensure they can conduct clinical studies in hospitals effectively and smoothly.

“"The handover ceremony for young doctors and the briefing for young doctors is a gateway for medical students to undergo professional learning activities at Karsa Husada Hospital. Hopefully, this event will facilitate students in the transition period between academic learning at the faculty to clinical learning or clinical practice at the teaching hospital," said Dr. Malik as Head of the Medical Professional Program.
