EDITORIAL As our father of medicine once said about the healing power of nature. He believed in promoting the idea of self-healing efforts of the body. Other early physicians were more interested in actively stepping in to correct illness. These two approaches—support versus intervention—were debated for centuries until the scientific revolution of the 19th century. Now in modern times, as a doctor, we still ponder over which decision is correct with the sole purpose of curing the patient.

For the first time in human history, modern life is complicated. Between work, kids, aging and home repairs, your brain is constantly worried about multiple aspects of life. Today, modern life is closely related with alternative medicine.

Believe it or not in China if we have a common cold we will be given the compound formulas of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Looking in that perspective, this topic could give us a new way of thinking on how to cure our patient.

I would like to apologize for the late release of this edition of the Arbor Vitae. However, there is something special about this edition since it is the last one of this tenure. Time has passed by quickly and we are nearing the end. I would like to send an endless amount of thanks to all the loyal Arbor Vitae readers because without you the magazine would have no meaning.

Hopefully this magazine will be able to be very useful for the people of Indonesia especially the members of AMSA-Indonesia.

The plenary session was represented by having one group presenting the result of the discussion, which was then assessed, added upon and corrected at the end.

The students being invited came from different high schools, and we even managed to contact several high school students that just passed SNMPTN selection, this way we hope that this program could be our contribution, not only as a form of propagating knowledge but also that both future and prospective medical students could be more prepared or know what to expect if they enter medical school.

05 NLT 2017 National Leadership Training 2017

By Laksmita Dwana

The most anticipated leadership training

program has finally set into motions on the 28th of April last week. AMSA-USAKTI was blessed and lucky enough to be able to host the National Leadership Training Event of AMSA-INDONESIA this year, making it our second time to be able to be handed such a grand opportunity.

Delegations from all over AMSA-Indonesia packed their bags meticulously (making sure n o e s s e n t i a l s w e r e l e f t b e h i n d ) o n Friday morning and headed straight for the monumental campus of Trisakti University located in the midst of the bustling city of Jakarta.

On the first day, the delegates were brought into the avant garde looking auditorium of Trisakti University; in there, they spent the rest of their Friday evening listening obediently to dr Gita's lecture. Afterwards they were brought to Kota Tua to start off the first leg of their city tour. Meanwhile afterwards the second leg of the city tour was located at the Welcoming Party venue; Bahari Museum. One of the oldest most prestigious museums still standing in Indonesia to this day. They were overwhelmed by the artifacts kept in the Bahari Museum, seeing how delicately intricate some of them were designed. Once the tour was done, they were to be seated at t h e We l c o m i n g P a r t y v e n u e w h e r e conversations and laughter were exchanged over a plate of Indonesia's most scrumptious dishes. With that, the night has come to an end as they reciye their goodnight prayers under a warm tent in Bumi Perkemahan Jakarta.

The day ended with a Farewell party at one of the most beautiful looking venue on the face of Jakarta. So surreal, it left the delegates in awe as they ascend the elegant staircases built to mimic the set aboard the s.s. titanic.

The farewell party went on for hours but we could only wish it had lasted even longer, the food was successfully playing with our taste buds leaving them wholeheartedly satisfied, the shimmering lights hanging upon the drapes as people stand in line to pose at our Photo Booth and the calming ambience to soothe our sore muscles from earlier activities.

Billions of dollars profit and economic damage created each year due to system failure, computer resources wasting, data corrupting, and software-hardware maintenances costs.

There happened health issue regarding common health problem, which is reduced service quality of healthcare, caused by computer virus named "Wanna Cry Virus". This WNCRY (Wanna Cry) Virus spread, are infecting several hospitals' computers in Jakarta [1]. This dangerous virus that affected our healthcare system isn't a biological virus though, but it is a computer virus typed Malware. Malware is a term used to a type of computer virus that forms malicious software. The examples of malware viruses are Computer Worms, Ransomware, Trojan horse, Key loggers, Rootkits, Spyware, Adware, Malicious Browser Helper Object (MBHO), and others. These Malware's affecting the Central Processing Unit (CPU), and then forming errors in any kind of process used to access information. Looking to bigger picture of WNCRY spreading pattern, it actually had spread geographically worldwide. It created a cyber attack across the globe, and it is recorded in lots of website and journals articles, that the cyber attack created by the WNCRY Ransomware Cryptoworm targeted computers running the Microsoft Windows Operating System by encrypting data and demanding random payments in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency began on Friday, 12 May 2017 [2]. Before the end of the day, 230,000 computers in over 150 countries had been infected [3].

Some experts had highlighted NSA’s nondisclosure of the underlying vulnerability and their loss of control over the Eternal Blue attack tool that exploited it. NSA privately disclosed the flaw used to attack hospitals when founded, not when lost, by the opinion of Edward Snowden.

Other than him, Graham Cluley, British cyber security experts also sees culpability on part of U.S. Intelligence services. Despite obvious uses for such tools to spy on people's interest, there's a duty to protect their countries' citizens. This attack shows that the practice of intelligence agencies to stockpile exploits for offensive

purposes rather than disclosing them for defensive purposes is a kind of problematic [4]. Several ways have been actively processed to minimize the impact of this virus, also possibly to fight back and disable this WNCRY malware. PATCH Act, released on 17 May 2017 in the United States, aimed to exploit reviewed independent board to make a balance between the need to disclose vulnerabilities with other national security interests and transparency increasing with public trust accountability during all the process [5]. United Kingdom National Cyber Security Centre had also discovered a "Kill Switch” that globally dispersed security researches collaborated online, developing open source tools, allowing decryption without payment under some circumstances [6]. These are all NSAEnabled ransomware , eating the internet, needs help from researchers, n o t s py a g e n c i e s , s a i d E d wa r d Snowden again [7] .

Political implications and affected Health Care systems across the globe are both main problems focused and criticized by public to researchers as wake-up call for them and also the supporting companies to finally take IT security more seriously. Dangerous matters happened, and other than expecting bigger foreign companies to develop better ways of improvement in within the software of Microsoft, what could healthcare staffs do in health facilities that are affected by this kind of malware? Remember the ethical way of how medical records are being kept confidentially? And how about the recollection of data that had been take c h r o n o l o g i c a l l y, h i s t o r i c a l l y, w i t h a comprehensive measures? Well until now, experts opinion spread in some general forum existed in the net mostly said that "In emergency cases happened to some patients whose medical records were lost because of the WNCRY Virus, make new ones, perform objective measurements directly that are needed." For the lost data, remain the reparation while handling patients with care, because malware cyber attack happened in hospitals means that the attacker is trying to challenge the health care staffs, 'what is your focus? Cure the disease and heal the patient? Or system reparation worth hospitals' profit and loss?’

I’m just an ordinary medical student, until one day I took the chance to serve the people of tomorrow. My name is Ananta Siddhi Prawara and you can call me Dhidhi, I’m from Diponegoro University batch 2014.

It’s been an honor for me to serve AMSA-Indonesia members as Regional Chairperson for this past 1 year.

Honestly, it never crossed my mind to be in this position when I first registered to be a part of AMSAUndip. Until one day, one of my seniors, Claudia Mary

Growing Further, Empowering Together

Josephine, introduced me to AMSA-Indonesia national team’s role. Since then, I started to pursue my dream to be active in AMSA-Indonesia. Long story short, I was very lucky to get the chance of becoming a part of AMSA-Indonesia national team as AMSA Elite Chairperson. Working as a national team gave

REGIONAL CHAIRPERSON ANANTA SIDDHI PRAWARA

me the chance to see

opportunities that could be

developed in AMSA-Indonesia.

In the beginning of 2016, I started to consider running as Regional Chairperson. It was not an easy decision to make, I believe that there is a lot of people who is way better than me, other than that I thought it’s just impossible for me to handle all the job as Regional Chairperson. Despite all my

doubt, the support of

great people around me grows my determination to take the chance. “Chosen or not, I will serve AMSAIndonesia” was the only thing in my mind. I listened to members and learned from one university to another to figure out all the problems that exist and tried to formulate the solution. I completed the bundles and the fit and proper test.

Then, the time for election came in Munas 2016. All I could do was give the very best presentation and answer all the questions given, then I gave in. After a thorough and long discussion, I was very grateful to be trusted as Regional Chairperson 2016/2017 by the members.

that can’t be bought. Saying “good bye and thank you for this one year” would be the hardest part for me to do at the end of this tenure. And because there is too much stories and memories about AMSA, here’s what AMSA means to me.

AMSA is my teacher who is never tired to teach me new lessons every single day. AMSA is my girlfriend whom I spent most of my weekend’s night with. AMSA is my child whom I treat attentively with hope that AMSA will always grow to make bigger impacts. AMSA is my badge of honor, the one that I will always be proud sharing. AMSA is my comfort zone, my home and will always be my family. And all that I know is that AMSA will be in good hands after this.

I would like to give my highest appreciation to t h e E xe c u t i ve B o a rd , Ad v i s o r y B o a rd , Representatives, National Team, Project Officers and all members for what you have done in the name of AMSA. Let us hope that what we’ve done would be beneficial to our members and societies.

Short message to the next generation of AMSA members: Just believe, if you have a virtuous purpose, God will help you in an unexpected way. Be honest to others and maximize the opportunity that is given to you.

Kak Dhidhi dan Kak Erika yang selalu senantiasa fast response setiap kali saya yang masih amateur ini bertanya, Kak Aqil yang selalu menghantui untuk membayar uang kas.

Kak Dipi dengan AEC yang selalu mengajak kami untuk evaluasi, Kak Siti yang selalu membuat kagum dengan video serta poster– poster yang dibuatnya.

Hello everyone, first of all let me introduce

myself, my name is Analia Levina and I am currently on my second year of medical school in Pelita Harapan University. Okay, enough about myself. This time I want to share some of my not-so-great experiences, but maybe it could give you some insights or whatsoever.

I joined AMSA since the beginning of my life as medical students. At first I only wanted to have some fun. Fortunately, it turned out to be

NATIONAL TEAM ANALIA LEVINA

such an amazing experience for me. I was given the opportunity to be one of the steering committee of AMSA-UPH. I found a

story about being in AMSA

new family there, where not only for work but also a real family where we can share our t h o u g h t s , s t u d y t o g e t h e r, s h a r i n g ‘informations’ (if you know what I mean) , and also hanging out together. For me who just moved in to Jakarta, it is such an important opportunity.

Day by day, I was given the chance to join national event whether as a committee or as a delegate. I started to put my interest in AMSAIndonesia, therefore I applied as academic team. Why A-Team? Well it’s because it sounds smart lol and I thought it could give me some new experiences. What I gained was more than just amazing experience, I get to know some amazing people from all over Indonesia and get the chance to work with them online. I also learn how to manage competitions, and discussing when there are troubles. Of course there are mistakes along the way, but my partners (thankfully) help me to correct my mistakes.

Additional Section

  Here we are at the end of my not-so-interesting story. Honestly, I do not regret my decision for joining AMSA at all, and if I am allowed to tell you one advice (I promise you this is the last) I want to say that it is better to regret chances you take rather than the one you did not take.

Thank you!

Dear all the member of AMSA-Indonesia  

family! Perkenalkan saya, Aqil Yuniawan Tasrif angkatan 2014.

Ketika pertama kali gabung di AMSA, menjadi EB itu tidak ada dalam niat sama sekali, tapi seiring waktu berjalan, ada keinginan yang cukup buat mendaftar menjadi calon EB. Awalnya mendaftar buat jadi EB itu dengan modal nekat dan nyoba-nyoba dan awalnya pesimis bakalan keterima. Terus, sebelum mendaftar ngelakuin konsul ke senior-senior

E X E C U T I V E BOARD AQIL YUNIAWAN TASRIF

AMSA-Indonesia. Nanya-nanyain all about AMSA-Indonesia itu sendiri gimana. Kemudian, aku memberanikan diri buat mendaftar menjadi EB. Hal yang paling aku ingat adalah, ketika ikut wawancara, waktu itu berbarengan dengan puasa, jadi aku buru-buru buat balik ke rumah dari kampus dan literally wawancara-ku kepotong dengan waktu berbuka puasa juga karena Aceh itu waktu berbuka puasanya paling lama se-Indonesia. Jadi wawancaranya t e r k e s a n l a m a . Te r u s s e t e l a h s e l e s a i wawancara, aku nungguin pengumumannya itu kira-kira H+3 an setelah wawancara itu.

Alhamdulilah! Ketika aku lihat di milist AMSAIndonesia, aku terpilih menjadi salah satu EB. Berkah ramadhan banget!

Setelah kepilih, kita bertiga (Dhidhi, Erika dan saya) langsung bersiap untuk membuka open recruitment EB-EB lainnya. Tiba pada saat wawancara untuk EB-EB lainnya. Disini aku b e l a j a r, b a g a i m a n a m u l t i t a s k i n g ya n g sebenarnya seperti mengelola chat room skype yang cukup banyak, which is dimana kita bertiga jadi moderatornya di masingmasing chat room tersebut.

Additional Section

  Terus, ada wawancara yang menghabiskan waktu lebih dari 6 jam, jadi harus ekstra tenaga untuk wawancara.

Akhirnya, semua EB sudah terpilih! Kita menjalani hari-hari jadi EB mulai dari RAKERNAS di Palembang, NAE di Aceh, IMSTC di Jakarta, NLT di Jakarta dan gak lama lagi sekitaran 2/3 minggu bakalan ke Makassar buat Munas. Banyak hal yang udah dilaluin barengbareng, segala macam hal udah dialamin.

Bahkan senang sedih juga bareng-bareng dan juga bingung bareng-bareng juga udah dirasain.

Banyak ilmu dan pengalaman yang saya dapatkan selama menjadi EB. Pengalamanpengalaman ini bener-bener berharga banget buat kedepannya. Walaupun saya menjadi treasurer, pengalaman-pengalaman gak cuman stuck di bidang itu aja. Bahkan setelah menjadi EB, saya juga mengerti mengenai bidangbidang EB lainnya. Semoga apa yang telah saya b e r i ka n ke p a d a s e m u a m e m b e r, d a p at bermanfaat untuk semuanya kedepannya.

Harapan saya untuk AMSA-Indonesia adalah semoga semakin menjadi organisasi mahasiswa kedokteran yang menjadi garda terdepan dalam memajukan kesehatan di Indonesia.

Selain itu, AMSA-Indonesia tetap memberikan kesempatan-kesempatan yang banyak untuk pengembangan seluruh anggota AMSAIndonesia dan juga tetap menjunjung tinggi nilai kekeluargaan di AMSA-Indonesia. “They Call It Organization, We Call It Family�

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, you gain strength,

courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. I’m not saying that my experience in being a national team is fearsome, but it really taught me plenty of positive things.

At first, I joined AMSA-Undip without any plans on being a staff, let alone National Team. My first National Event was Rakernas in Palembang, last year.

Truthfully, I had no idea about the things they discussed during the meeting. I was more interested

An Opportunity Not to be Missed

in meeting new friends and overwhelmed in meeting lots of new faces – even though I had quite a hard time in remembering their names. On the last day, one of my friend asked me about joining AMSAIndonesia National Team. I remembered saying “Why not?” although I had close to no idea about it. From there, my journey begins.

Luckily, I had a few days before the opening of the recruitment. I used it for asking to my seniors about their experience in being a National Team – from the selection process until their regeneration. At that time, I only had a few experience in organizational stuff and no academic achievement whatsoever. I occasionally worry about my motivation letter and my CV but I still went with it anyway.

Fast forward until the interview day where I was extremely nervous and worried. I kept wondering for the next few days whether I did good and whether I got accepted or not. On the announcement day, I stayed online waiting for the announcement itself. I waited for around an hour and saw one by one, my friends got accepted. Community Outreach’s announcement came last, but thankfully I got accepted.

This is a whole new experience and a great opportunity for me since I can apply all of AMSA’s principle – knowledge, action, and friendship. It will require a lot more pages if you want to know my full story in being a CO Team (Community Outreach Team), or you if you want to know more you can contact me personally or maybe your district’s CO Team .

People frequently asked me, as a CO Team, are you busy? Yes. Is it possible to handle both A M SA’s re s p o n s i b i l i t y a s we l l a s yo u r academics? Of course. Do you think being a National Team worth all the struggle?

Absolutely yes!

This writing is for those who still hesitates in applying for National Team and my fellow National Team. For those of you who hesitates, please don’t. You have a big opportunity waiting for you to take, a wide range of knowledge waiting for you to discover, a lot of friends waiting for you to know, and most importantly a family waiting for you to love. For my fellow National Team, congratulation for completing your duty. You have done an excellent job for this tenure and now it is time for you to take the next big step towards success. I don’t know which path you’re taking, but I believe that we will meet and work together again soon in the future.

Pengalaman saya yang tidak pernah terlupakan  

adalah pada saat menghadiri NAE 2016 di Aceh yang dilaksanakan oleh AMSA-Unsyiah. Pada saat saya mendaftarkan menjadi delegasi NAE, saya tidak berpikir akan bertepatan dengan ujian SOCA. Setelah saya berdiskusi dengan delegasi lain dari MCU kita simpulkan akan pergi dari Bandara Soekarno Hatta pada hari Jumat. Pada saat itu saya tidak mau kalau saya dimajukan menjadi sesi awal karena biasanya saya ujian di sesi-sesi akhir.

E X E C U T I V E BOARD E D W I N SETYAWAN

Setelah saya ujian SOCA saya langsung berlari menuju kos dan langsung mengambil koper dan saya masih mengenakan pakaian ujian. Tanpa berpikir lama-lama saya dan delegasi lain langsung pergi ke travel yang jaraknya tidak jauh dari kampus. Setelah kita semua pergi ternyata mulailah timbul masalah. Di perjalanan hari itu bertepatan dengan adanya DWP dan kebetulan juga sedang ada perbaikan jalan tol dan total perjalan saya dari Bandung ke Bandara Soekarno Hatta bisa dihitung sekitar 7 jam lamanya.

Waktu flight saya ke Aceh pukul 16.30 tetapi saya dan delegasi lain sampai di bandara pukul 16.45 dan pada saat itu sudah dikatakan kalau kami sudah terlambat. Saat diberitahu bahwa kami sudah terlambat saya dan delegasi lain berusaha untuk tetap pergi ke NAE. Akhirnya kami tetap tidak bisa mendapatkan jadwal baru dan pilihannya itu adalah berangkat hari Sabtu dengan jam penerbangan yang sama. Setelah itu kami sangat bingung harus bagaimana karena tiket kami sudah hangus dan kebanyakan dari kami sudah tidak diizinkan oleh orangtuanya.

  Pada saat itu saya telpon ke Erika bahwa saya telat dan tidak bisa pergi ke NAE. Setelah mendengar kabar itu Erika dan EB yang lain langsung membujuk saya untuk tetap datang karena akan memberikan dampak yang negatif jika saya tidak datang. Awalnya saya sudah putus asa karena saya tidak bisa datang ke NAE, tapi hanya teman-teman EB lah yang membuat saya tidak putus asa dan senantiasa mendukung saya disaat saya dengan d a l a m ke a d a a n b u r u k . S e t e l a h b e r u s a h a semaksimal mungkin akhirnya saya bisa pergi ke NAE pada hari sabtu siang dan kondisinya saya pergi sendiri.

Sesampainya saya di NAE saya hanya hadir pada saat farewell party dan setelah itu langsung lanjut RTM. Selesai RTM itu pukul 04.00 dimana saya tidak bisa tidur dan langsung melanjutkan kegiatan selanjutnya. Di NAE saya banyak sekali mendapat kritik bahwa saya tidak bekerja dengan baik dan saya sadar kalau saya memang masih harus banyak belajar dari kesalahan saya.

Setelah NAE selesai saya dan teman-teman EB melanjutkan direct meeting kedua. Di DM kedua saya mengungkapkan semua kesalahan saya kepada teman-teman EB. Awalnya saya takut jika teman-teman EB akan marah kepada saya tetapi mereka justru sangat mendukung saat saya dalam masalah dan saya merasa menjadi orang yang beruntung mendapatkan teman-teman seperjuangan seperti mereka. Pengalaman ini sangat membuat saya belajar bahwa betapa berartinya suatu pertemanan dalam kehidupan kita sebagai makhluk yang tidak bisa berdiri sendiri.

AMSA is one of the biggest organizations for medical students in Indonesia. Not an ordinary one, but it is place where you can show the real you. Joining AMSA back then at 2016, I just thought it was an ordinary organization just like what I joined back in high school. But beyond it, AMSA really opened my eyes that this world is not that small. Learning how to be organized, punctual, responsible, humble, etc. But the best part is how to manage time and money hahaha^^ Joining AMSA is one of my best decisions and experiences.

One of them is to be a small little tiny part of National Team, FnP team of AMSA-Indonesia. Being a part of this family is beyond amazing. I’ve learned so much about professionalism, how to work under pressure, communication, solve problems and many more. I wont be saying that all I’ve got is the happy moment, sometimes it is happy, tiring, funny, sad, etc. But it is how life goes isn’t it? Overall being part of AMSA is beyond extraordinary. While writing this article, I realize how much experience and life lessons I’ve got from AMSA. Be so busy loving your life that you have no time for hate, regret or fear –Unknown. You can be anything you want; it is your choice.

To our beloved members, People of Tomorrow, don’t be afraid to do and contribute more. Because sometimes what we fear of doing most is what we need to do the most. Last but not least, Thank you AMSA for the opportunities!

year ago was absolutely one of the best I’ve made. By being an Executive Board I’ve learned to appreciate more, learn more, and have more confident in myself. Those are the things AMSA has given me and thankful of.

One of my best memories in AMSA was when I was able to meet and discuss directly with the founders of AMSA, both university and Indonesia who has been successful in their own field. All of them agreed that the benefit of being active in an organization can only be felt in the future. The time you invested now in making networks and pulling off hard decisions will improve your skill and quality as a future doctor. I believe AMSAIndonesia has a lot of potential and undiscovered gems in their member. It is our duty as people of tomorrow to make AMSA a dynamic organization that will aid both the members and the needs of the society throughout the time.

Finally to all the Representatives, Advisory Board and Executive Board AMSA-Indonesia 2016/2017, thank you for all the memories and giving me the chance to serve you all. I hope the friendship we’ve made will last for a lifetime and together create a better society around us. See you on top!

Hi AMSA-Indonesia!

It hasn’t been that long since I get to know a lot more about AMSA-Indonesia and the only thing I wish right now is that I follow AMSAIndonesia’s development in this tenure from the very beginning!

It always amazes me to see people so committed to something that they are willing to

sacrifice their time and energy for what they love and watch it grow into something beyond everyone’s expectation. I see that commitment in the People of Tomorrow. I see people who would go over great lengths to develop AMSAIndonesia and make it a better, bigger, more impactful organization. It is in my greatest desire to see that spirit continues to lead the path to AMSA-Indonesia’s even brighter future, and it has become my responsibility to keep the fire ablaze.

My greatest gratitude and appreciation should also be sent to the Executive Board of AMSAIndonesia for a year of dedication and contribution. I hope that you continue your participation in AMSA even after you’ve become alumni to continue achieving our goal as one big AMSA-Indonesia family.

I always believe that everything happens for a reason. It was approximately two years ago

E X E C U T I V E BOARD F A D I Y A NADHILAH

when I decided to apply for being an AMSAUnpad member. That time, I were only a kid, joined AMSA because the closest friends of mine were also joined it. As the time passed by, I had an opportunity to join Munas AMSAIndonesia 2015 in Unair, Surabaya as a general delegates. There, I saw how AMSA-Indonesia regenerated. I saw many cool people (in my opinion) that change my point of view about AMSA. I became curious to know AMSA better and decided to apply myself for Community Outreach Team 2015/2016.

The day I saw my name listed as the chosen Community Outreach Team for district 3, was one of the history which made my passion to become active in AMSA was getting bigger.

With Ka Arham as the Secretary of Community Outreach, I gained a lot of new experiences, a lot of new lessons, and a lot of new friends. I fell in love with AMSA, which was also the reason why I decided to apply for Secretary of C o m m u n i t y O u t re a c h A M S A- I n d o n e s i a 2016/2017 position the next year.

Can you change someone’s habits?

How? Sometimes we easily got our nerves on someone because of their habits that don’t meet us. I suggest you to ask why he being likes that don’t ever hope he will change. Better to understand them and think about what can we do to make situations better for us and for them. You don’t need to waste your time with your temper. Calm it down.

Do you prefer to stay with your

temper and be enemies with other or calm your temper? Is it beautiful if every human can understand each other and forgive? Don’t ever let fire burn your soul.

I want you to reflect on yourself, what kind of person you are, have you appreciate and say thank you for what others have done for you before you curse on other?

You don’t have to be perfect but all you need to do is be a better person for you and people surround you. Don’t ever hope everyone will know what you have been sacrifice and appreciate you. Do your best and be good to people surround you; learn to ask why this and that happened before you take an action and before you curse on others.

Organisasi menjadi sebuah bagian yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam kehidupan mahasiswa.

Ada begitu banyak pilihan yang dapat dipilih, namun dalam tulisan ini organisasi yang akan diulas adalah Asian Medical Students' Asscosiation atau akrab disebut dengan AMSA. Bagi saya, adalah sebuah kehormatan untuk bisa menyandang sebuah titel National Team, yaitu Research Team. Melalui tulisan singkat ini, saya ingin membagikan pengalaman saya yang sayang bila tidak diabadikan dalam majalah AMSA-Indonesia, Arbor Vitae.

NATIONAL TEAM JOUE ABRAHAM

Hal utama yang saya dapatkan dengan menjadi seorang Research Team adalah sebuah ilmu.

Knowledge merupakan salah satu dari tiga filosofi AMSA. Saya percaya sejatinya kita sebagai seorang manusia entah mahasiswa fakultas kedokteran atau bukan akan selalu belajar. Hari–hari yang kita jalani merupakan proses pembelajaran. Dalam konteks ini belajar yang saya maksud adalah menulis. Salah satu kegiatan yang paling saya sukai di muka bumi ini selain pergi ke bandara dan stasiun adalah menulis. Dengan terjun langsung dalam AMSAIndonesia, saya semakin belajar dalam dunia penulisan. Baik menulis esai ilmiah, tinjauan pustaka, atau tulisan sederhana untuk dimuat dalam Arbor Vitae seperti tulisan ini. Perubahan iklim dan keselamatan kerja merupakan isu kesehatan yang diusung oleh AMSA-Indonesia selama satu tahun ini. Selama satu tahun pula berbagai macam tulisan tentang kedua isu tersebut menjadi makanan saya sehari–hari.

Kedua, saya mendapatkan sebuah pengalaman berharga yang mungkin tidak semua mahasiswa mendapatkan hal ini, yaitu kerja sama tim.

Hi Arbor Vitaers!

I put this quote as my personal motto, and also to describe how much I love this organization.

First, let me introduce myself. I’m Karina Jesslyn and you could simply call me as my first name, currently serving as Executive Board of AMSA-Indonesia. I would like to tell you a story, a story about a girl who fell deeply in love without any reason. This story began when she applied to join a family she knew nothing about. Yet she still innocently

EXECUTIVE BOARD K A R I N A JESSLYN SUNG

participated actively in local and international events. A little by little, piece by piece in her heart, she started to feel so happy by doing this and finally, in the end she realize that she loves this family more than she planned to.

Yes, you are right! This love story is about myself, and how I was “trapped” in AMSA and having no way out. It’s a little exaggerated I admit, but I guess AMSA deserve it. This family gave a lot of things to learn, how to be a critical-thinker, how to perfectly solve a problem practically, lead me to meet a lot of extraordinary people who always inspire me to do my best. AMSA showed me that this world is bigger than I expected. That there are a lot of interested things that always brings up my curiosity to learn, as a medical student but especially as a human being.

Of course, no good things come easy. I remember the days I have to follow several step of selection to join AMSA, the day I was interviewed to be national team, the days I struggling to learn a lot of things related to exchange in order to get this position.

Additional Section

I have to say it not always went the way I want it to be, problems come and go. I have to give my heart, my energy, and my soul doing everything I have done this past couple years.

But this is the things that make me the way I am. Diamond is made under the weight of mountains, isn’t it?

One thing that I hold onto all this time, that I believe that a great family is someone who will correct you when you are wrong, taking care of you when you are weak, loving you when you are lonely, and do the best they can to let you discover the best version of yourself.

And this is what I found here, my homeorganization AMSA fulfill what I need.

There always an end to a story, and I guess mine is about to be over. I have to let new generation take care of AMSA. And now, I will let you to gently take my position. But before that, I want you to know that AMSA is family, a strong and big one that could bring big impact to our society, or even globally. It’s neither only about finishing some work plan and achieve the highest score, nor to gain popularity among others. But to build and develop yourself, working hand by hand, giving the best with each other and believe me, someday people will remember you as AMSA’s history maker.

Truthfully yours, Karina

now. In the opposite, I’m going to elaborate our conditions in a different perspective. I would like to appreciate those members of AMSAIndonesia that have given out their contribution in the field of research, either it is R-Ticles2, RProject, and every single competition out there.

I’m aware that as a medical student, we all have our busy schedule. While here you are sparing your time, submitting those research data, reading essays and doing quizzes. I would like to state that you are really an Extraordinary person.

On the other side, I never meant to underestimate or disparage those who might not give out their contribution at all. For I know those who have ever become member of AMSA, have potentials hidden in them and are meant to be great doctors in the future. Those of you might have not discovered your hidden potentials yet, and the other parties might have discovered their potentials, which is just not in this field. I appreciate the diversity we all have that has built AMSA-Indonesia as it is in the current time.

What makes it

great is that when we met up during a national event, our conversation picks up where we left it online. But in the end, friendship isn't the only thing that I gained by joining national team.

My job as an AMSEP officer is to inform AMSA member in my university about any exchange program that is currently open. Aside from that, If there is an opportunity to host an exchange, on behalf of the AMSA-university, I will prepare a n eve n t p ro p o s a l to b i d t h a t h o st i n g opportunity. Bidding is the moment in which I learn a lot of things. In order to bid, I prepared a team consisting of around 10-15 people as a committee with me as the project officer. Well in the end, we didn't win the bidding, but I believe it is more important to appreciate the process rather than the result. I learn to communicate effectively with my team with a very tight schedule.

If i have the opportunity to repeat the year again as an AMSEP officer, I would definitely take it again. No regrets! It was fun to work with my team and also to get to know other officers from other university. Lastly, I would also like to thank everyone who helped me throughout the year! Cheers!

EXECUTIVE BOARD M . D I P I ABDALLAH

different positions; member of academic AMSAUnsyiah, chief of PnP AMSA-Unsyiah, AMSA-Elite Chairperson District 1 AMSA-Indonesia, and Secretary of Membership and Development AMSAIndonesia.

Back in 2014, when I joined AMSA-Unsyiah, I was starting my first year of being a super innocent medical student. I didn’t have much knowledge about AMSA. But as I know for sure, I have to join the organization to stay active during college. My thoughts at that time was still academically oriented, I wanted to join AMSA-Unsyiah because I wanted to enjoy the facilities it offered to me like study group, tutoring, competition, and everything that could support my academic. But during the time I was in Academic Division of AMSA-Unsyiah, after I got what I wanted, it turned out I fell to deep in this organization. I never felt enough with the knowledge and experience that I got.

The results was freaking real, in the first year of my innocent medical student life, I got the chance to be an assistant circumcision operator, projects manager, multiple head division. AMSA has taught me to become a more sensitive, open minded, positive thinking, risk taking, visionary, insightful, Additional Section

empathetic, realistic, decisive, actionoriented, accountable, trust worthy, and   authentic person than before. I would never be the person I am now if I never treated AMSA as my family in college. AMSA treated me like a family did, lead by amazing leaders like Sri Delima, Javier Arrazi, and Iswan Ramdhana, they gave me strength to do everything in AMSA and to become a helpful person toward others.

In 2015, I got the chance to become Chief of P n P A M S A- U n s y i a h a n d A M S A- E l i t e Chairperson District 1 AMSA-Indonesia. Yes, two different positions at the same time. That was pretty challenging. Since AMSA is a platform, and it is providing opportunities for people who are willing to challenge themselves, I decided that I could still improve working with people and that I would really like to see the combination of organizing people, making sure that they are satisfied, and having them in the right place for organization, so I applied for AMSA-Elite Chairperson who directly worked under Sec Of MnD and that time, Safara Nurul Laela Wairoy. I was working with 4 universities and I was responsible for their development and experiences. I was actually working with people who were there to develop themselves through developing others.

Afterwards, I decided that I was challenging myself, two years in same area and working in the same district where I’ve known them professionally and personally was starting to become my comfort zone. I’ve met amazing people and through their progress in the organization and their stories, I was very happy to also see my personal progress. I

I applied for a completely different area in 2016, a different position, with a big trusteeship. I wanted to challenge myself once again and to see what my contribution would be there, how I could develop others and what I could lear about others and myself. And here I a m n o w.

To learn, but to learn with real resources, real people, real time. To learn from others and to develop them. I have the incredible privilege to work in a team with AMSAUnsyiah, EB AMSA-Unsyiah 15/16, District 1 AMSA-Indonesia, EB AMSAIndonesia 16/17, and AMSA-Indonesia, to learn together with them and to develop them and myself on our journey as a family.

Every time I felt comfortable, a new opportunity popped up, and I decided to take it. I thanked everyone in AMSA for giving me so many opportunities and because of that I never worried too much, because the things I did for AMSA, it meant the more I care about my family (re: AMSA) and the things I did with AMSA, I did it with the support of my family (re: AMSA).

Pengalaman saya di AMSA, dimulai saat saya bergabung dan mendaftar di AMSA-Unsyiah, saya merasakan ikatan kekeluargaan yang kuat di AMSA, keakraban terjalin erat antara senior d a n j u n i o r. D i A M S A l a h s a ya b a n ya k

Selain itu di beberapa event nasional saya juga turut berhadir, event nasional pertama saya adalah Munas AMSA- Indonesia di Surabaya, awalnya memang agak awkward karena belum kenal siapa-siapa, tapi setelah kenal ternyata mudah akrab karena anak AMSA itu seru-seru, selain Munas AMSA di Surabaya ada beberapa event nasional yang saya ikuti seperti NLT Bandung, Rakernas Palembang, dan Gathering District 1 Palembang.

Bertukar fikirian dan

Layaknya sebuah organisasi pada umumnya dengan mengusung visi misi dan tujuan jelas nan terstruktur didalamnya, begitulah AMSA bagi segelintir orang, bukan? Saya rasa, tidaklah mudah membangun sebuah organisasi yang turun-temurun dari pengurus sebelumnya untuk terus dilanjutkan dan dikembangkan. Apalagi, baik pengembangan pribadi bagi setiap member atau bagi keseluruhan organisasi, harus tetap berjalan bersamaan.

Mau ngasih kesan pesan nih, sekalian harapan b u a t A M S A- I n d o n e s i a k e d e p a n n y a .

Sebelumnya gak pernah terbayang jadi member AMSA-Indonesia, apalagi jadi representative AMSA-UPR. Pertama kali jadi anggota, semua apapun tugas ya gua berusaha buat jalanin, sambil bergaul juga dengan teman-teman lainnya. Atas kepercayaan teman-teman,

REPRESENTATIVE N A U FA L D I A N FAJARIANTO

gua pun berani

mencalonkan representative. Terpilih pada saat Musyawarah Besar AMSA-UPR, tentu kesan pertama ya kaget, gak nyangka, ada senangnya, tapi karna gua dipercaya sama teman-teman, tentu gua harus menjalani tugas dengan baik.

Dari awal sampai sekarang, kesan yang gua dapat sih baik-baik aja, senang, karena teman-teman lainnya juga saling bantu. Ada masalah pun, pasti diselesaikan dengan baik baik. Intinya ikhlas aja, pasti semua berjalan dengan baik deh. Gak sembarang milih partner buat bekerja sama, karna partner juga berperan dalam suksesnya kinerja. Kesan ketemu pertama kali dengan teman-teman Executive Board AMSA-indonesia tenure ini dan representative lainnya juga baik, gua senang bergaul dengan mereka, orangnya pada welcome semua. Program kerja dan kinerja mereka juga pada bagus. Pesan dari gua sih, untuk tenure sesudah ini, dapat menjalankan dan mengembangkan lebih baik AMSA-Indonesia. Apa yang sudah baik dipertahankan, apa yang kiranya bisa lebih menunjang AMSA-Indonesia, bisa diprogramkan dan dijalankan.

  Harapan gua buat AMSA-Indonesia, singkat aja. Yang pasti lebih baik, lebih eksis, lebih segala-galanya dalam hal positif. Karna suatu o rg a n i s a s i b i s a te rce r m i n b a g u s a t a u enggaknya dari member, semoga member AMSA-Indonesia kelak bukan cuma banyak, tapi benar-benar lebih bisa mewujudkan AMSA-Indonesia sebagai organisasi non-profit yang lebih berfilosofi. Selain itu, jabatan pasti pada akhirnya, tapi semoga kebersamaan tetap bertahan sepanjang masa, karna kita sejawat. Itu aja yang bisa gua sampaikan, sukses selalu buat kita. VIVA AMSA!

NATIONAL TEAM RICHARD HOLMAN MANTANTA

masih bingung untuk memilih organisasi yang akan saya tekuni. Sebagai seorang mahasiswa kedokteran, kita semua tentu saja punya alasan dan tujuan pribadi jika suatu saat menjadi seorang dokter, dan untuk itu mencari organisasi yang bisa mengembangkan kita menjadi selangkah lebih dekat pada tujuan itu. Dari awal, saya memutuskan untuk masuk ke AMSA karena saya yakin AMSA bisa menjadikan saya dokter yang bukan hanya cerdas dan terampil, tetapi juga menyenangkan dan keren.

Pada saat itu, tiba-tiba saja EB External dari AMSA-Unhas, menghubungi saya dan memberitahukan tentang Open Recruitment dari National Team AMSA-Indonesia.

Meskipun awalnya sempat ragu, saya kemudian mendaftarkan diri sebagai Ambassador of Public Health. Menurut saya, menjadi APH akan membantu saya menjadi lebih percaya diri, tahu banyak hal, dan tentu saja akan menjadi peluang besar bagi saya untu membagikan ilmu kepada masyarakat.

Greetings People of Tomorrow AMSA-Indonesia,

My name is Sarah Annisa Hasanah, you can call me Sarah. I am currently a 2nd year student of Medical Faculty Syiah Kuala University and a proud member of AMSA-Unsyiah.

I take this opportunity to write everything about AMSA, what AMSA means to me, and it is with a great pleasure that I enhance my journey and

NATIONAL TEAM SARAH ANNISA HASANAH

experience in AMSA as well.

My very first step joining AMSA was about two years ago when I first enroll my medical school. I joined AMSA because i see my other home lies in AMSA. That time on my first year in AMSA, I was a member of Community Outreach division in AMSA-Unsyiah, I feel that it’s the best place for me to contribute myself such as my medical skills and knowledge to wider community and society. Since that time i was always on the go, I’ve taken so many opportunities to be a committee in every AMSA-Unsyiah events and i am so honored for that.

Leaving my local experiences, my first national event in AMSA was ARHE/ADP and Gathering District 1 hosted by AMSA-Unsri. It was my first time realizing that to make friends and relatives as much as i can is so vital in AMSA. That was my first chance to meet more inspiring people, to get to know them one by one, to chit chat with them as it’s the perfect bonding time. I was outstandingly happy that

I promise myself to

contribute and join more and more national events by AMSA-Indonesia.

Additional Section

  My first year in AMSA went very intriguing and AMSA has built me to be a better person. On my second year in AMSA, I have become more and more into AMSA until one day, my representative asks me to put something on the line as i have been so dedicated for AMSA, he asks me to apply for AEC (AMSA Elite Chairperson) position. Being an AEC was never on my list, but since my representative has a good head on his shoulders and i think i should go out of my comfort zone, i applied for that position and it turns out great that i succeeded.

And now, i am currently working and take on the responsibility as an AMSA Elite Chairperson for District 1.

During almost the past one tenure being an AEC, it was extremely tiring and pleasant at the same time. I learnt so much on how to do personal approaching, how to pursue other people to work, how to manage my time between studying my medical papers/books which is very stressful and running the online meeting or working on evaluation reports as well. The moment i found out very hectic being an AEC was when AMSA International Day

in

IMSTC, as the AEC, i am the one who coordinate both district booth and district performance. But, again, it turns out fun because we (me and people from my district) done it amazingly. Despite, been working with and monitoring my AMSA-Universities in District 1 had given me a lot of valuable lessons i could take.

Lastly, i just want to express that AMSA and all that it has in it mean everything to me They Call it Organization, We Call it Family Viva AMSA!!!

All the experiences makes me know every individuals in AMSA-University deeper and that triggers me to love this family even more.

Following the journey of different tenures in AMSA-Indonesia every year really amazes me. I see how AMSA develop year by year, getting bigger and better. Lots and lots of new useful programs and new universities that joined AMSAIndonesia family We can’t deny it that working wholeheartedly in an organization is not easy. Sometimes we lose our spirit in running an organization due to pressure on program deadline, external factors, and so on. Sometimes, we just want it all to finish, do our job in minimum effort. I felt that too. But come on, this is AMSA, family that always reminds us to look forward, that always backs us, that always makes us to be awesome. I always remember what my friend told me to motivate me: “don’t just think what can AMSA give to you, but what you can give to AMSA.” Always remember your love to AMSA-Indonesia and your confidence that you can and you want to make AMSA better.

and NGO) AMSA-Indonesia 2016/2017.

“They call it an organization, but for us we are family,” for me this is the right phrase when describing AMSA. My life as a medical student made me want to have an organization that could give me experiences, relationships, and "family.” And in the end I decided AMSA as the organization I was in. At first, i love AMSA because i contributed as the committee for a National Event which was hosted by AMSAUnhas and I was given the chance to become an academic delegate and also the winner in one of the competitions in AMSA. Since that time, i was actively participating in AMSA and i was honored to be chosen as delegate to join AMSEP Thailand. After all that, i got motivated to improve my self to become part of the Executive Board of External Affair AMSAUnhas 2015/2016, where I got more lessons about AMSA and improving my work in AMSA. Becoming an EB of External Affair in AMSAUnhas made me have a chance to work with AMSA in my own university, and this makes me decide to continue my work in AMSA to become LO for GO and NGO.

Hello people of tomorrow,  

Most of you are familiar with the phrase, "People of Tomorrow," which is used to describe AMSA members. This is because we are part of the future that has the ability to create change nationally. I believe that many of us will become successful in the near future, we just have to believe in ourselves.

EXECUTIVE BOARD SITI ZAKIATURRAHMAH

AMSA isn't just a place that helps us become doctors, but it also trains us on how to become leaders as well. An organization has its own goals, but there is a special essence to it once a certain comfort level is reached. Take falling in love as an example. I don't believe in the phrase, "love at first sight," because falling in love takes time and there is a process that comes with it.

This "process" helps develop the feeling of love for one another and this analogy can be applied to being in an organization. For me, AMSA is a place where I was reborn again because it has changed my life in many ways.

My first year in AMSA was almost like a year of rejection. I was not chosen to be the representative of my university and my applications to AMSEP, AMSC, EAMSC, and even the National Team were not accepted.

However when I looked at this from another perspective, I could see that this whole process was an enjoyable one. From all of those rejected applications I learned a few lessons that not everything comes easy. Also, I was blessed to have been given advice from my seniors within the organization to help guide me through these failures. I am very grateful to have their support.

Additional Section

  In my second year in AMSA my life began to change. One night around 11pm, I was anxiously waiting for the announcement of the new Executive Board members for AMSA-Indonesia.

All of the sudden a few minutes before the announcements were supposed to be released, my phone rang with a call from a number I had not seen before. It was a call from "kak Auk." At that moment, I had just been introduced into my new family, the Executive Board of AMSA-Indonesia 2016/2017.

Throughout this past year we have been through happy, sad, and even times of sorrow; but life is about being faced with new obstacles, fighting battles that are meant to be won, and feeling thankful for what we have.

Remember that in the end, wherever we might be, we all experienced these moments together.

Thank you for the memories.

Sincerely, Siti Zakiaturrahmah An extra special thank you to Publication and Promotion Team (Agra, Gavi, Jasmine, Ridzky, Verrell, Dhika, Ezra, and Fuad) all of you who took a little time out of your busy schedules to make this magazine the Arbor Vitae because without you this magazine would be nothing. Hopefully, this magazine will bring benefits to all members of AMSA-Indonesia and beyond.

JOHN MAYER - COMEBACK

by Sindy Irenewati




This Year John Mayer, a singer from Your Body Is A Wonderland track, back with his first fulllength album The Search for Everything in more than three years, and make it to the 2nd rank on Billboard 200 Album Chart.

This 12-track set

was a warm welcome from his brief hiatus and was dropped at midnight on April 14th 2017.

Well known for his genre of music that adopting elements of rock, blues, and soul, this 29-yearold singer said “These songs represent literally hundreds of hours of living inside of these worlds.” on twitter when he explain the methodology about his new album. However, eight of the 12 songs were not new to the public.

Mayer, who won his first Grammy Award on 2 0 0 3 w i t h h i s s i n g l e Yo u r B o d y I s A Wonderland, released his album in “waves” that came at an almost-monthly pace; the first wave dropped on January 2017, and the second wave was released on February 2017. Mayer choose to release the album in this unconventional format because he said there were too many songs to release them all at once.

Mayer have been busy for his concert The Search For Everything World Tour. He has been succeded his first tour at New York City last month. He brought a few surprises out for the new tour with what he calls a “dream screen, dream team and a dream scheme” where the show is completed by the comeback of the legendary JM3 trio with Steve Jordan and Pino Paladino. At the end, Mayer said that “The Trio was a huge part of my musical career, it’s a chemistry class. Every time I play guitar with Steve and Pino, I come face to face with the music and spirit that I loved as a kid, and I always knew the trio would come back when it

was time.”

THE AUDITORY M

MAGIC IN MOVIES

The Auditory Magic in Movies 01

What stands out when you watch a movie? Is it that it as a great story? Great characters? Is it that the cinematography is beautiful? Is it that each actor is giving a great performance? Or perhaps is it that the soundtrack is amazing? Well, the last one is distinctive, at least for me personally. But it is not quite accurate though. A film ‘score’ is what actually draws my attention.

First of all, let’s differentiate a score with a soundtrack. A film score is the music composed specifically for the movie to serve and enhance the story and is usually instrumental only. On the other hand, the soundtrack usually refers to the entirety of the music in the film, encompassing score, and songs that were either licensed or written for the film. Confusingly enough, often times record companies release a soundtrack from a movie which does not include any of the score.

Generally, that’s because people are more interested in listening to songs from the movie that were written to stand alone, as opposed to score which was written to be part of the whole movie. In short, the term soundtrack can refer to only the songs in a movie, excluding the score.

What makes a film score very interesting to me is mainly the fact that it is often the reason we become bound to the movie emotionally. With every frame, filmmakers and videographers are trying to convey a specific emotion and of all the artistic tools at a filmmaker’s disposal, it can be argued that music is among the most vital – and certainly one of the most powerful.

Here are some popular opinions about film scores: Music adds to the emotional quality of the film. There is some empirical evidence to support this: fast and loud music arouses, slow and soft music calms. Motion and emotion are often entwined.

Music, used skillfully, can cover up otherwise weak directing and/or cinematography.

Arbor vitaenya keren, isinya pas dan menarik, ilustrasinya juga bagus-bagus. Tapi menurutku beberapa fontnya masih kurang pas sih (kesannya yang kayak di convert ke default jadi ga pas gitu (?) walaupun ga mengganggu banget sih jadi masih bagus dan enak diliat hehe.

Arbor Vitae 17th edition "HEARING: They Change in the Pressure Of the Surrounding Medium Through Time".

W o w w, s a y a h a r a p b i s a mendengar banyak banyak dan banyak lagi pujian untuk Arbor Vitae's 17th edition dan Arbor Vitae edisi selanjutnya sampai lewat masa pun:). Arbor Vitae dengan "Hearing.." ini berisi banyak konten yang tidak monoton, baru dan informatif khususnya Medical Affairs dan Technology. Ohhiya, konten "At the Peak of AMSEP" sangat motivatif dan mengesankan.

Sebagai member AMSA, CV dan interview pada konten ini membuat saya lebih semangat untuk aktif berAMSA. Intinya, edisi ini sangat menarik sebagai bahan bacaan. Bukan hanya kontennya, desainnya yang ringan dan kreatif juga menjadi poin penting untuk majalah yang menarik.

Kesannya, desain yang kece itu tidak susah, yang penting kreatif.

Tiap majalah pasti punya ciri k h a s n ya m a s i n g - m a s i n g .

Karena saya cinta banget sama majalah jadi suka untuk 'menilik' hingga ke sudut majalah.

Yang paling disukai dari majalah Arbor Vitae adalah konsistensi dari tiap edisi.

Pembahasannya selalu keren.

D a n te m a nya j u g a ke ce.

U n t u k l a yo u t , y a n g j a d i perhatian saya adalah ciri khasnya majalah Arbor Vitae. ( M a a f j i k a k e l i r u h e h e) , majalah ini punya ciri khas tersendiri dalam penggunaan warna dalam layout. Selalu menggunakan beberapa warna dasar dalam layout majalah. Kalau di edisi ini kayaknya hitam, putih, abuabu dan biru jadi kayak warna dasar di perwajahan halaman.

Keren kok, penggunaan warna2 yg minimalis ini jadi ciri khas majalah ini sedikit usulan mungkin lebih ke pengaturan kolom, baris dan layout untuk tulisan/ artikelnya. Mungkin ke depannya bisa dibikin lebih rapi biar makin mirip sama majalah-majalah komersil heheh.

Tapi selebihnya udah keren kok. Good job redaksi Majalah Arbor Vitae.

Sukses terus untuk Arbor Vitae edisi-edisi lainnya, VIVA AMSA!

AMSA-UNHAS // Suandih Zulkarnain A r b o r V i t a e o f A M S AIndonesia is currently at 17th edition. The 17th edition emerges with “Hearing: They Change in the Pressure of the Surrounding Medium Through Time” theme, which is creative and one of the worldwide issue we rarely see being discussed nowadays. By taking a look at the content, it features 7 unique contents, consisting Medical Affairs, Interview, AMSA Event, Technology, City Guide, Music, and Photography, which is 1 content fewer than the 16th edition. Despite on every contents’ magnificence, the contents more likely began to look repetitive, and starts providing something notnew to all the loving reader, including me. If we take a look at some previous editions, Culinary section was once came up, supplying an extraordinary content, and a bit more interesting to be read. As one of Arbor Vitae’s huge fans, I really expect much on the next edition of Arbor Vitae, and expecting some ideas for new contents. Even so, Arbor Vitae is still one of a splendor artwork by the Editor team, or the PnP team of AMSA-Indonesia 2 0 1 6 / 2 0 1 7. R e a l l y l o o k forward on the next edition!

Salam kenal saya Andry mewakili AMSA-Undip, pertama-tama kami dari AMSA-Undip ingin mengucapkan terimakasih banyak kepada Kak Siti dan PnP team karena beberapa artikel yang kami submit dimuat dalam Arbor Vitae edisi 17 kemarin!

Teman-teman dari AMSA-Undip sendiri sangat antusias untuk menulis di majalah Arbor Vitae saat mereka mengetahui kalau ternyata ada banyak sekali pilihan rubrik yang bisa mereka pilih. Awalnya beberapa dari mereka mengira untuk menulis di Arbor Vitae mereka wajib menuliskan artikel kesehatan haha. Ternyata beberapa dari teman kami ada yang sangat tertarik untik menuliskan a r t i ke l t e r u t a m a u n t u k r u b r i k "Interview", "Music" dan "City Guide"

AMSA-Airlangga M Dwiky Subagya Konten dari arbor vitae ini cukup menarik dan sudah bagus. Saya suka.

Arbor Vitae selalu menjadi salah satu majalah favorit saya karena desainnya yang simpel namun elegan, dan selalu memuat artikel-artikel yang ringan namun berisi. Saya sendiri selalu menunggununggu rubrik "Interview" dan "Medical Affairs" di tiap edisinya, karena artikel yang dimuat kreatif banget dan kadang ada ilustrasi yang keren banget, tapi tidak pernah melenceng dari tema utama.

Publikasi dari Arbor Vitae edisi 17 kemarin sendiri menurut saya sudah sangat meningkat pesat, karena sudah banyak sekali member baru AMSA-Undip yang tidak sabar untuk menulis di edisi selanjutnya. Saran dari saya mungkin bisa ditambahkan lebih banyak ilustrasi di halaman-halaman kosong karena ilustrasinya lucu dan kreatif banget! Saya sendiri sangat senang jika bisa mendapatkan versi cetak dari Arbor Vitae selanjutnya haha. Sedih banget ini bakal jadi edisi terakhir tenure ini. Thankyou buat Kak Siti dan PnP team, Keep up the good work! Viva AMSA!
