FOREWORD

The Regional Chairperson

Our strength lies within the core philosophy that we have always been upholding: Knowledge, Action, and Friendship. In knowledge, we open our eyes to the global medical knowledge across Asia Pacific and beyond. In action, we are keen on giving positive impact through both medical or non medical interventions to the society while also aiming for increasing their health quality. The last, in friendship, we enthusiastically look forward to expanding our network by building a vast familial environment in which we feel comfortable. They all coalesce into a rigid foundation serving as the basis for our activities.

Professionalism based on familial environment is our principle.

Furthermore, in order to increase our professionalism and bolster our position as an international organization, we are currently improving our international-standard organization skills.

AMSA Indonesia has a tremendous amount of passion to give positive impact to the members, the societies, the nations, and

other chapters under the membership of AMSA International. The embodiment of this passion resulted in the Shave for Hope event, when MURI (Museum Rekor Indonesia) recorded AMSA Indonesia thriving on producing the biggest donation to YPKAI (Yayasan Pita Kuning Anak Indonesia) by cutting hair to help children who suffered from cancer. We are expecting to give more positive impact to the society in the near future.

I wish this booklet would give you the information needed in regard to AMSEP Indonesia. Please feel free to contact the respective person or myself if you urge to acknowledge any further information.

Thank you, Nathania Sheryl Sutisna Third Year, Faculty of Medicine - Universitas Pelita Harapan Regional Chairperson of AMSA Indonesia 2012/2013

FOREWORD

The Director of AMSEP

Dear People of Tomorrow, As a member of Asian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA), we have the opportunity and the obligation to explore Knowldege, to make impact through Action, and to spread Friendship as far and wide as we can.

Asian Medical Students’ Exchange Program (AMSEP) is the official exchange program provided by AMSA. Since the beginning of my journey in AMSA, AMSEP has always been one of my interests and my pride. I have both hosted and been an AMSEP delegate several times and I can confidently say that I will never get tired of AMSEP. There are always new experiences, new knowledge, and new friends that you will get in AMSEP. Academic, Social, Culture, and City Tour are the components of AMSEP that will give you a complete package of the Knowledge, Action, and Friendship experience.

Indonesia has been participating in AMSEP since it is first started and has always been a very contributive chapter, with more than 6 exchanges made in the last 2 years. Indonesia has established exchanges with Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and Japan.

Indonesia, a tropical archipelago country located between Asia and Australia, is a multicultural country and rich of historical as well as cultural heritage, so there is always something new you can explore in Indonesia. With more than 10 universities spread from Sabang to Merauke, we are always ready to host AMSEP. Join AMSEP and feel the EUFORIA (Extraordinary Unforgettable Friendship Opportunity in AMSEP Indonesia)!

Kevin Mozes Third Year, Faculty of Medicine - Universitas Indonesia Director of AMSEP AMSA Indonesia 2012/2013

There

are around 300 distinct native ethnic groups in

Indonesia, and 742 dierent languages and dialects. Most Indonesians are descended from Austronesian-speaking peoples whose languages can be traced to ProtoAustronesian (PAn), which possibly originated in Taiwan.

Another major grouping are Melanesians, who inhabit eastern Indonesia. The largest ethnic group is the Javanese, who comprise 42% of the population, and are politically and culturally dominant. The Sundanese, ethnic Malays, and Madurese are the largest non-Javanese groups. A sense of Indonesian nationhood exists alongside strong regional identities.

Indonesia has about 300 ethnic groups, each with cultural identities developed over centuries, and influenced by Indian, Arabic, Chinese, and European sources. Traditional Javanese and Balinese dances, for example, contain aspects of Hindu culture and mythology, as do wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performances. Textiles such as batik, ikat, ulos and songket are created across Indonesia in styles that vary by region. The most dominant influences on Indonesian architecture have traditionally been Indian; however, Chinese, Arab, and European architectural influences have been significant.

Indonesian cuisine varies by region and is based on Chinese, European, Middle Eastern, and Indian precedents. Rice is the main staple food and is served with side dishes of meat and vegetables. Spices (notably chili), coconut milk, fish and chicken are fundamental ingredients. Indonesian traditional music includes gamelan and keroncong.
