Pre Matching III

Ok, I've emailed everyone who is Matching the results.

Er, I apologise but the if your name is on the first half of the name list, you have the SLIGHTLY older version with one person less (103 instead of 104 people) as I only discovered a new email halfway through sending. But it shouldn't majorly affect the results. If you really HAVE to get the updated one, sms me identifying yourself and your email address and I'll email you.

If you did not receive it in your email, check the SPAM folder first before SMS-sing me.

If you are one of the 6 people who have not given me your choices despite my SMSes, there's still time to do it. (I'll just leave the "Shame on you"s to other people)

Whatever the case, physical copies of the most recent results tomorrow.

For those who have not read the announcement below : the deadline for Matching is now WEDNESDAY 15th October 2008.

Matching Deadline EXTENDED

AAD has just informed me that the Matching deadline has been extended to Wednesday, 15th of October 2008.

Please take note.

The Dean's Office is in contact with the University of Nottingham and any info I receive will be posted here.

If you would like to know anything else, do SMS me.

edit : Pre-Matching will be out Monday due to new memorandums by a certain government department.

Lecture on Inflammatory Arthritis

Dr Vijay Singh has apparently been on medical leave for the last 3 days and did not inform anyone to replace him to give the lecture. This was all just realised today and unfortunately, no notes can be uploaded for the lecture tomorrow at this juncture in time.

Rather than cancel the lecture as per the option given by the administration ( I am not going to name names ), Dr Thani has informed me that he will be giving the lecture in Dr Vijay's place tomorrow morning and the notes will be uploaded after that.

I realise that there are a set of Inflammatory Arthritis notes in the I:Drive by Dr Esha Das Gupta but it is unlikely the lecture to be given by Dr Thani tomorrow.

This is the best I can do at this point in time.

Please be informed.

ECA Matching Form

Please be reminded that you are supposed to send a soft copy of the ECA Form that has been approved by the SAD to the email addresses that they are supposed to be sent to. The email addresses are in the form itself.

PMS Fees

The PMS fees list given out today has a few things which need to be corrected, I have already confirmed this with Ms Haslinda from AAD.

All the end dates for the UK universities from Dundee downwards should be one year later. So, Dundee should end in 2011 while Edinburgh, Glasgow, Keele, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester, Queen's, Southampton and St George's should end in 2012.

Dundee has changed its course to a 2 and a 1/2 year programme so the duration and fees should be different from what is listed to reflect the additional time. It is expected to be from Feb-09 to Jul-11. I will post and announce details of this when I get the update.

Nottingham is included in our Matching. Details will be forthcoming before the 13th of October. I will also announce and post details of this when I get them from AAD.

Do come and ask me if you have any other questions.

IT Representative

The SRC has requested that every batch elect an IT Representative whom will apparently be in charge of electronic equipment in the lecture theatre and forward IT complaints to the IT Representative of the SRC, Geowin Solomon.

I realise that there is only one semester left and all those stated duties above are already handled by Evelyn and I but I suppose we should probably try to accede to the SRC's request.

I will be holding elections most likely on Wednesday or Thursday, formality or not.

Do not forget your ECA forms need handing in. Those who do not live in KL, remember to bring any certificates or proofs from home so that your form can be certified by May Kuan.

Do enjoy the rest of the holidays.

eCa mEeTiNg

Dear all,

The details for the scheduled ECA meeting with May Kuan are as follows:

Date & Time: 3 Sept, Wednesday, 2-4 pm
4 Sept, Thursday, 10.30-12.45 pm
5 Sept, Friday, 11.30-12.30 pm
Venue : PBL 32 & 33

Our timetable for the first week is rather hectic, so it is rather difficult to find a suitable time that can accomodate everyone. So, for students who have CSU scheduled on Thursday, please try to make it for the Wednesday or Friday sessions instead, okay?=)

Just a reminder, it is COMPULSORY for ALL students, PMS and Seremban to meet up with May Kuan and hand in your ECA forms. Please be reminded to print out the ECA form from the I Drive, fill it in and bring along the ORIGINAL copy of your certificates. The due date for handing up the ECA form will be on 5 September, 2008.

Thanks! Meanwhile, happy hols=)

GP Posting

Ok, for those who did not attend the Briefing on GP Posting lecture and people who attended but have totally forgotten what it was about, this is what everyone's supposed to do :

1. You need to write up a portfolio which contains 4 things :

• A student log of patients which contains at least 25 presenting complaints/problems that bring patients to a GP and record basic sciences learning issue(s) from each presentation.

• Health promoting activities you have seen in the clinic. For example, Seen : 40 y/o patient with bronchial asthma; Activity : Observed smoking cessation counselling given to the patient

• Construct a genogram of a patient, preferably one with HPT/DM. Refer to pictures below.
  

• I'm too blah-ed out to type it out, i'm just going to paste the slide.

This portfolio is to be handed in to the AAD after the debriefing session for your group.



In addition to your portfolios, I think everyone is supposed to prepare and additional topic, according to your groups :


Slides obtained from Dr Nurjahan's lecture. You can download the full lecture off the I:Drive somewhere in the Timetables folder, I'm sure you can find it. Any other questions, comment or tag.
