STUNICA 2017: Sertijab

The event was held on Monday, March 13th 2017 in RIK UI. It was participated by mainboards of STUNICA BEM IKM FKUI 2016/2017, mainboards and members of STUNICA BEM IKM FKUI 2017/2018, and representatives from PPKM. Representatives from Dekanat and dr. Teddy as the coordinator for the international program were also invited, but they weren’t able to attend the event.

The event was opened by the MC, Vano and Mel. Tante Ida, as the representative from PPKM, gave her welcoming speech, thanking the Mainboards of STUNICA 2016 for doing a marvelous job throughout the whole tenure, and welcoming the new Mainboards of STUNICA 2017.

After that, the President, Sharon Hanmy Angel, along with her Mainboards of STUNICA 2016, presented their LPJ eloquently, with astounding results regarding the various programs they executed during the past tenure. PPKM gave feedbacks regarding the reports that they have presented, especially on what could be improved by the Mainboards of STUNICA 2017. Afterwards, the official ceremony was executed. The president of STUNICA 2016 welcomed the new president, Kelvin Theandro Gotama, along with the whole Mainboards of STUNICA 2017. As a symbol of gratitude, the Mainboards of STUNICA 2017 gave flower bouquets to Tante Ida, Tante Joyce, and the Mainboards of STUNICA 2016. The ceremony went smoothly, and we are very grateful for the enthusiasm from all of the STUNICA members that came that day. Most new members were also overly at joy with the staffing result.

The event finally ended when everyone went to enjoy the buffet provided and finish their meal. Overall the event was a very nice experience especially for the new batch 2016.

Sertijab Serah terima jabatan; an annual hand over ceremony held by STUNICA that marks the transition to new tenure

STUNICA’s Annual Grand Meeting (AGM) was held on March 29, 2017, in Menteng, Central Jakarta.

AGM marks the beginning of the new tenure and welcomes new members from FMUI batch 2016 into STUNICA as active committee of the 2017/2018 tenure.

AGM commenced with the reading of Anggaran Dasar/Anggaran Rumah Tangga (AD/ART). The constitution of STUNICA, AD/ART establishes precedents by which STUNICA and its members should carry out their conducts as well as each members’ prerogatives. During the reading of AD/ART, members were allowed to ask questions for clarification. It was also during AGM that the current tenure could carry amendments to the existing articles of AD/ART. After the ratification of AD/ART, marking the end of AGM, the event proceeded with dinner and team building. As members from all departments were present, AGM also served as an opportunity for FMUI students to gather, bond, and (most importantly) have fun together. After dinner, we had little games, such as “Who AM I?” and “Kiss the Frog”.

We from the Mainboards would like to thank everyone who attended the AGM, and we hope that you all had fun as we did! See ya next year!

Annual Grand Meeting

Sports Day

by Clark Christensen Sports Day is a biannual sporting event for FKUI KKI students, made possible by Dept. Sports and Arts.

On Monday, 1st of May 2017, Sports Day 1 was held.

Sports Day 1 aims to reconnect clinical students with the pre-clinic ones – as it is difficult for one to meet, given the different locations (Salemba vs Depok).

Students from batches 2016 up to 2009 joined the event! From this sports day, international students of FKUI could have a friendly match between students of various batches. Afterwards, they can catch up with familiar faces, and get to know seniors and juniors that they didn’t know before. The type of sports offered in Sports Day 1 are futsal, badminton, basketball, and Zumba. The crowd-favorite of the four are futsal, as the dedicated field for futsal is always jam-packed. Zumba, another crowd favorite since the previous sports day, returns, again with Ms. Witsqa as the instructor. Golly! At the end of the day, we sweat our butts off and had a great time.

A Day Full of Hope

by Daniel Amartya B. This year’s A Day Full of Hope was in Sekolah Kembang, where we invited 30 children from Yayasan Thalasemia Indonesia along with their parents to spend the day. The day started with a ride on a Transjakarta bus from Rumah Sakit Harapan Bunda.

The bus was filled with sunny smiles and laughter throughout the short ride. At the school, the children were divided into several small groups and each group was led by one facilitator, who were students from years 2015 and 2016. The children were taught how to draw and paint on some bags by instructors from Ganara Art Studio. Meanwhile, the parents stayed behind in the meeting hall where they would attend a short class regarding thalassemia led by dr. Cut Nurul Hafifah.

The class itself was only an hour long followed by a discussion.

After the event finished, we kept them occupied with games in the playground. The children were obsessed with the slide and the kept on running back and forth in a never ending loop.

Once the bus arrived, we all jumped aboard the bus. The ride back was much more quiet, the children along with the facilitators were exhausted after the long day. We arrived at the hospital just as the sun was about to set. This made me smile, as this setting fits perfectly with this year’s slogan, which was “Chasing the Sun, Hope for Tomorrow”. One by one the children went back home, carrying goody bags and a huge smile across their faces.

D’TOUR

by Ando and Heidi

DTOUR 2017 was an event set as a farewell party for our beloved 2014 Batch that’ll be leaving this summer to Melbourne and Newcastle. Not only that, it’s also an event that lets the youngest batch to get to know older batches even better outside of campus through various activities. As this year’s event was held in The Lodge Maribaya Bandung from 6-7 May, there were roughly 70 students who joined this event, NEW DTOUR RECORD YEZ!!

We settled in our cute little orange tents as soon as we arrived. Some were kebo enough to sleep in the afternoon, some played archery and the rest were just chilling in the lounge. Our dinner was accompanied with a live acoustic music performance by the local tante-tante from Lembang. Following dinner, we had games such as “2 Facts 1 Lie”, “Pie Face” and “Speak Out”, which became a time for us to bond as one another’s aib was revealed. We then ended the night by having a sharing session by the bonfire, while eating some snacks and bbq made by the best of the best IA 2017. The next day, after a group photoshoot, we headed back to Jakarta to continue messing our life to save others’.

by Academics

After spending a year studying abroad, you must have gotten many lessons, experience, and connections which will make it easier for you if you want to return and build your life there. However, you also have to consider returning to Indonesia. Why?

izens of Indonesia d for your ucation in FMUI

g a public university, ersity of Indonesia gets ational funding from the rnment. This means that you may have known – e of your education fee are by the country, using the ey collected from taxes h are paid by citizens of nesia. Therefore, it is ortant that we, as students MUI, give back to citizens donesia.

rving those who forgotten

ou may also know, there till many vulnerable le, who are often being otten and neglected, in country. Therefore, rning to Indonesia will you a bigger chance to w these people better and them to improve their in all possible ways.

You were born and bred in Indonesia Remember, this country has protected you and provided your needs for you and your family.

Indonesia needs you Indonesia is a developing country and there are many things that need to be changed here. Having studied for a year abroad, you must have gotten new experience and insights, which opened your mind and widened your knowledge.

Indonesia needs you to improve. You have all it takes to make a difference in Indonesia, making Indonesia a better country.

Those are some reasons of why you should return to Indonesia.

However, to stay or to go, in the end it is your decision.

ISTOCK (MAP), TASTE (GADO-GADO), BBC (TAX), INVESTVINE (VENDOR), BRITANNICA, THECURRENT (INDONESIA)

What to P Before Go 1. Prepare Paperwork in Advance Paperwork can take a lot of time to complete. Be sure to check your passport validity date, and make sure that it stays valid for the whole time you are abroad, so don’t forget to renew it as soon as possible! Your student visa should be taken care of months before going. Go to your destination country’s consulate website to find out more about how to apply your student visa. If you need any more additional paperwork such as travel insurances, TOEFL or IELTS certificates, you should take care of them first above everything else!

2. Take Care of Finances Make a list of things you need for your day-to-day living and research about local prices for your daily necessities.

Search for the best price and values and if needed, set a budget for each month.If you are planning to get a part-time job, you can search for possible part-time jobs from now on. Also set some budget for (but not limited to): housing, transportation, travel on breaks, entertainment, personal needs, and emergencies.

3. Research Living Plans, Surrounding Area & Local Culture Before you’re going to practically live in a new country, make sure to do some research beforehand. Find out essential things such as: Where will I live? What will the weather be like? What are the culture and customs in my destination country? Which will aid you in settling down later on. Familiarize yourself with your study aboard country and learn more about the do’s and dont’s over there. You can also talk to others which have undergone the same experience to gain more information.

4. Do Some Research About Your School Find out about some possible information that your school offers.

Some can be very beneficial for you, such as travel benefits that can cut your cost drastically, how to get around campus, and what things to do around campus. It won’t hurt to get to know your future school beforehand!

Prepare oing Abroad

by PR

5. Visit Travel Doctor and Prepare Health Insurance The last thing you want while you’re abroad is to get sick. Check possible endemics in your destination area and get a vaccine if needed. You can also bring emergency medicine with you while you travel, and get plenty of rest before you go. You may also prepare a reliable health and accident insurance policy to cover for emergency situations.

6. Arrange Phone Plans It’s 2017, and no one can live without their phone, can they? Look for local service providers and prepare your phone plans before hopping on the plane. You wouldn’t want to waste your time once you arrive just because you haven’t decided on phone plans yet.

7. Packing Your Things (That You Actually Need) Leave behind unnecessary things, and leave some space in your luggage for things you really need. Bring needed toiletries, personal care stuff, clothes

enough for ±3 weeks (including everyday clothes, winter attire, formal attire, nightwear, undergarment), 3-4 pairs of shoes and socks, and other necessary things (including some personal ornaments like pictures or decorations for when you miss home!). Leave behind things that you can purchase once you get there to minimize luggage space. You can also prepare a foldable travel bag.

8. Creat A Bucket List!

Remember that you are going to live there for one year… So don’t forget to HAVE FUN! Create a bucket list for things you want to do while you’re there. Creating a bucket list of things you want to do can also help you feel motivated while you’re going through tough times, keep you focused, train you to save your income and as a reminder to enjoy yourself on your time off :)

PROS & CONS:

Melbourne and Newcas

stle Upon Tyne

by Sabrina Tan

NEWCASTLE Pros :

1. Affordable living 2. Best city with the best student nightlife 3. Rich in history, arts and culture – free art galleries and other cultural hotspots 4. Economical and easy travel to Europe 5. Cheap internet and mobile plans

Cons : 1. It’s a long way from the rest of the country 2. Trains to London and other cities are very expensive 3. Restaurants with suggestively tasty meals are costly 4. Not enough sunshine 5. Many drunks in town centers at night (be careful seniors!)

BMedSc? BMedSc( MRes? Bachelor of Medical Science/ with Honours

Which degree is right for me?

The majority of you applied to FMUI’s international program probably for these extra abbreviations to come after your name. The reason for that is that you might want to have a head start if you are planning to continue your studies abroad. Whatever it might be, it sure is rather confusing to pick which one to go for. What do they really mean? Where can these degrees lead you to? Which one do I need? Bear with me on this one, and hopefully, be ever so slightly enlightened.

So here’s how it works in the UK/Australia, if you are to become a doctor. First you take a 3-4 year undergraduate programme, e.g.

Bachelor of Biomedicine, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts (not quite sure on how this one works though), etc. And then you go on and study for another 4 or so more years for the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, which is equivalent to “dr.” in Indonesia, a degree which allows you to do practice.

So it’s quite safe to say that Bachelor of Medical Science is in some ways similar to “S.Ked” in Indonesia.

Master of Research Usually abbreviated as MRes. Yes, it does sound rather nice at the back of your name. This degree is an advanced postgraduate research degree.

?

(Hons)?

by David Calvin Compared to the other Masters degrees, attaining this degree requires you to independently (you’ll still have guidance) conduct a research of unrestricted topics with an emphasis on research expertise to train or prepare researchers to progress for a PhD or professional work.

Once you are accepted to the program, there is a wide range of programmes to choose from. Here are some of them: Ageing and Health Animal Behaviour Biosciences Biotechnology and Business Enterprise Cancer Cardiovascular Science in Health and Disease Diabetes Epidemiology Evolution and Human Behaviour Immunobiology Medical Molecular Biosciences Medical genetics Neuroscience Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine

Neuromuscular Diseases Systems Biology Toxicology Translational Medicine and Therapeutics Transplantation

Where can you use these degrees?

It is more applicable in Commonwealth countries. You can try applying with these degrees in other countries, but it would be one way or the other be more complicated.

Commonwealth countries are countries that used to be a part of the British Empire, if you are wondering, and some popular countries are: the UK, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, etc.

These degrees that you get as a medical student in the International Programme of FMUI does have weight to it. It opens more doors to go through once you graduate as “dr.”. So please do consider putting these degrees that you get to good use.

Local products you will miss...

by Sports and Arts

Local Food Food in Indonesia is like a medical journal , before we finish them, they already make a new one. Food in Indonesia is also considered cheap. 3 pounds or around 4 Australian Dollar could be used to buy a meal with two or three protein + drinks here while it’s equivalent to approximately one Newcastle’s Fish and Chips.

INDOMIE

seleraku... this is one of Indonesia’s most famous products, nationally and internationally. It has won Guinness Book of World Recordws, been a sponsor of the Premier League, and been in our heart and bloodflow ever since we first taste it.

Chili sauce(s) In Mexico they got Salsa, in Thailand they got Sriracha, in USA they gor Red Hot Chili Peppers, and in Indonesia we got Terasi, Dabu-dabu, Sambal Kecap, Balado, Matah, andthe list goes on.

Foreign products you must look for...

Cereal Killer You may have known this cafe from your instagram or any of the Buzzfeed or Tastemade or any similar video. It may have located in London which is around 8 hours train from Newcastle, but hey it is the cost of a bowl of sweets and an awesome insta feeds right?

Acai Bowl

Before, the things that were mentioned is either only exist in Australia or England only but not this one. This delicious bowl of fruits, nuts, and oatmeal is abundant in Melbourne and Newcastle that they make a Top 10 Acai Bowl list in both of those city.

The Corner You maybe unfamiliar with this one, this is the place where McDonalds test out their products. It is loacted in Sydney which is an 8-hour drive from Melbourne or 11 hours by train or 188 hours by foot.

Don’t Forget Home:

About Indonesia Article by IA

Sweet Martabak It is an Indonesian version of pancake that is sold only in the evening. Originally, the fillings include chocolate, cheese, and peanuts. But nowadays, martabak vendors are offering new varieties of toppings. They range from classic to voguish to outlandish, for instance, martabak Japanese Greentea Kitkat and martabak Red Velvet

Speaking Bahasa You might find this weird, but true. Back at home, you can always speak Bahasa Indonesia casually with everyone, with all its slang word that only you and your friends will understand. But when you go overseas, you would be forced to talk mostly with another language, particularly English.

Sambal You might find spicy food all around the world, but none of them is the same as the sambal from Indonesia. The various and unique taste of Indonesia’s sambal will surely be missed when you go overseas. Whether the classical sambal bawang, sambal kecap, and sambal terasi, or the unconventional sambal matah, and sambal mangga.

Indomie Who does not love Indomie? Costs only around Rp. 3000, yet you can get a quick and satisfying food to eat. With so many flavours to choose from, you’ll be left with more than enough choices.

Komodo Dragon Found in NTT, Indonesia, komodo dragon is the only living ancient dragon. Be proud since it is found only in Indonesia!

GOJEK+++ When you left something behind at home and need it to be send immediately, or when you need to go somewhere but no one will take you there, or when you need someone to clean your apartment since summative is coming, or when you’re simply too lazy to buy your own food, just GOJEK. Losing this convenience might be too heavy of a burden for us hectic medical students.
