The Faculty of Medicine (FK) at the Indonesian Muslim University (UMI) conducted health examinations for prospective new students (Camaba) admitted through the Academic Excellence and Hafidz Invitation Tracks at the FK-UMI Rezky Clinic on Tuesday, July 2, 2024.
The checkups were attended by 53 prospective students and were presided over by UMI Rector Prof. Dr. H. Sufirman Rahman, SH., MH., along with FK-UMI Dean Dr. dr. Nasruddin A. Mappaware, Sp.OG(K)., MARS., M.Sc., as well as the Vice Deans of the UMI Faculty of Medicine.
UMI Rector Prof. Dr. H. Sufirman Rahman, SH., MH., stated that these medical examinations were conducted to ensure that prospective students meet the criteria and requirements necessary to become doctors. “There are certain standards that must be met to become a doctor, such as not being colorblind, because this can affect the accurate diagnosis of patients,” he explained.
These medical examinations are mandatory, and prospective students admitted through the Academic Excellence and Hafidz tracks who pass the medical tests will be accepted, explained the UMI Faculty of Law alumnus.
The Dean of the UMI Faculty of Medicine, Dr. dr. Nasruddin A. Mappaware, Sp.OG(K)., MARS., M.Sc., expressed his gratitude that the medical examinations—which include physical exams, color blindness tests, and drug screenings—were personally monitored by the UMI Rector. “Health examinations for prospective FK-UMI students are an integral part of the initial admission process for new students through the Academic Excellence and Hafidz invitation tracks,” he said.
The Obstetrics and Gynecology specialist also added that the UMI Faculty of Medicine has admitted 53 prospective students through this pathway. If all health requirements are met, they will be admitted as FK-UMI students in 2024. “A thorough admissions process is crucial for producing outstanding and professional doctors,” he concluded.
