Hello! I’m Refika Salsabila one of the MBBS student from Indonesia, which is exactly at university of Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (UMSU) in Medan. I’m a third year of MBBS student who selected to go to SRMC for approximately 3 months. I’m going tell you about my experience in SRMC for the last 3 months here.
SRMC in my first impression is a big university and clean. I really surprised and amazed at the same time by seeing 2 hospitals in the same area. It is really nice. At the first day we got here, we came to the hostel which is ladies hostel-2 for MBBS students. It is more than expected, each people get their own room with the AC and fan, 1 window, 1 table for study, 1 bed. This more than enough for me.
The regulation of the hostel was really nice too. They have people to clean the room every day, the change the bed sheet once a week. Which really feel nice be experience that for washing clothes, they have a laundry storing which is near the hostel.
In the morning we went to the class, and meet the lecturers. All of the lecturers were very nice and kind. At first, I’m afraid about the English accent here which is very fast. But, all of the lectures understand about this and they will talk slower and clearer. They don’t mind to repeat all of the things that they taught if we weren’t understand.
We also have gone to each department, I was amazed by all of department with their museum especially anatomy museum, it is a very huge museum, with a lot of human organs which arrange neatly and beautifully.
The entire museum really amazed me, and I really want to visit it for a long time. It is a very nice experience to get a clinical posting here, which we won’t experience at the 3rd year in our university.
The MBBS student for our country need to be seven years, so that’s why we never experienced at clinical posting for the 3rd year student.
For the clinical posting is very nice, we went to operation theaters, seen a patients, doing rounds, talk to the patient and saw a lot of cases. For all of the rounds and it will be like, we will ask questions to the patient of the chief complaints and try being diagnose the patient. All of the doctor will be teaching as with question the activity with the doctor and patients.
