Guide to register for Malaysian Housemanship

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 23:24:00 +0000

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone. ;)

Hari ini, saya ingin berkongsi langkah2 yang perlu dilakukan oleh bakal2 doktor yang berhajat untuk melakukan latihan siswazah (housemanship) mereka di Malaysia. Hopefully panduan ni sedikit sebanyak akan dapat memudahkan urusan masing2. :)

Ada 3 agensi yang kita perlu pergi untuk mendaftar – SPA > MMC > KKM

Sebelum pergi mendaftar, sediakan salinan dokumen2 ni: (satu utk setiap agensi)

1)   3 salinan K/P

2)   3 salinan surat beranak

3)   3 salinan SIJIL SPM (slip tak boleh pakai)

4)   3 salinan sijil ijazah

5)   3 salinan transkrip result

6)   1 salinan sijil nikah (bagi yang dah berkahwin shj – kena hantar sekali dgn borang KKM)

*semua salinan perlu disahkan oleh Pegawai Kerajaan gred A, atau pesuruhjaya sumpah dsb

Step 1 (SPA) – isi borang SPA8i kat sini http://www.spa.gov.my/Portal/ . Lepas dah isi dengan lengkap, tunggu dalam 3 hari bekerja dan call mana2 nombor ni utk book tarikh temuduga dengan SPA: 03-88856339, 03-88856372, 03-88856313. Kelentong je cakap dah daftar dgn MMC, tapi make sure dah daftar dengan mmc SEBELUM tarikh temuduga. 

Step 2 (MMC) – Isi dengan lengkap borang 4 (http://efenem.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/mmc-daftar.pdf) utk pendaftaran sementara MMC. Sertakan sekali benda2 ni:

1)   1 salinan KP

2)   1 salinan sijil SPM

3)   1 salinan surat beranak

4)   1 salinan sijil ijazah

5)   1 salinan transkrip result

6)   bank draf/wang pos bernilai RM 20 atas nama “Pendaftar Pengamal Perubatan”

-       pejabat MMC ni kat BLOK B, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, Jalan Cenderasari, KL (area masjid Negara). Kalau hantar pagi dlm kol 10, dalam kol 2pm dah siap sijil sementara kita. Ade yang tunggu sejam je, tengok rezeki masing2 hari tu ramai orang yang gi mendaftar atau tak.

-       Lepas dah dapat sijil sementara MMC, buat dalam 3 salinan dan make sure sahkan juga. Satu sijil kena bagi masa submit borang KKM, satu bagi masa interview SPA, satu lagi masa induction kalau tak silap.

Step 3 (KKM) – ni paling senang, boleh buat sebelum atau selepas interview. Just isi borang maklumat diri (BMD) on the spot kat pejabat KKM and sertakan sekali semua dokumen yang dorang mintak. Nak dload and isi siap2 pun boleh. Pejabat KKM kat Putrajaya. http://www.moh.gov.my/forms?search=Borang+Maklumat+Diri+(BMD)

Step 4 – pergi interview SPA.

Step 5 – lepas interview, call balik nombor SPA yang korang call masa nak book tarikh interview and tanya status, berjaya atau tak. Kalau berjaya, dorg akan post Surat Pelantikan SPA lepas seminggu macam tu.

Step 6 – lepas dah dapat surat pelantikan, call KKM (nombor ada kat borang yg kita isi) utk tau tarikh induksi :)

Just as a heads up, I know that some of us fresh medical graduates, prefer to take some time off before beginning our journey as HOs. However, I would suggest you guys complete your registration first because the waiting list is LONG. 

I myself am still waiting for my interview with the SPA, which will be held on the 28th November. Nearly TWO whole months of waiting after submitting my application to them. And then after the interview, I heard that we will have to wait for at least 1-2 months before receiving our induction letter. I don't know about you guys, but I believe the longer you delay, the longer you'll be leaving your brain to rot.

Apa2 pun, harap2 post ni sedikit sebanyak berguna untuk rakan2 seperjuangan saya. Feel free to direct any questions to me. I'll try to answer if I can. 

Graduation

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:27:00 +0000

Well, this is awkward. After leaving this blog for ages to rot by itself, suddenly I feel like reviving it again. Lol.

Anyway, I would like to share with all of you who are reading this (if any), the joy of my graduation. Yay!

After six long and hard years of studying in the Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, about 200 of us have reached the end of our Medical Degree education. This batch of graduates (we call our group Alexmed 06/12 btw) have given all our effort to reach this day.

I've not received the official photos of our graduation ceremony, so I'll leave the details of the ceremony for later, after I've received the photos from our official photographer, whom we've flown from KL, ChotTouch Photography. For now, I'll just leave you guys with this "amateur" photo. ;)

Till the next post. :P

That first step

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 17:15:00 +0000

When we were babies, taking that first step bring cheers of joy to our parents. That special occasion was cherished and celebrated, marking an important milestone in our growth.

However, long after that first step, as we venture into life, more first steps were taken, sometimes even without us realizing them. But when it really matters, we tend to stumble.

Why?

Because we think too much.

Note to self - Cast away any doubts. Take the initiative. Grab life by its collar. Get the upper hand. Make the first step.

The so-called holiday

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 05:49:00 +0000

For a week starting from yesterday, the Faculty's on a holiday for the coming Eid il-Adha. Last year, during the same festivities, I was busy with the Qorban and also travelling to Dahab, Sharm el Sheikh and climbing Mt Sinat.

This time around? Studying for my Obygn and Neuropsychiatry OSCE and midterms which are around the corner. Sigh.

Ps. I'm definitely going back to Dahab next year. With who tho? ;)

Tribute to our SR :P

"Jangan kacau weh, aku nak siapkan handouts lecture tadi ni."

"Ok fine, one shot. Aku caring ngan dak2 lecture aku~"

Victoria Concordia Crescit

Arsenal won against West Ham today with a late late goal from Alexandre Song. And guess what I did?

End of Obgyn Rounds

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 04:25:00 +0000

Without realizing, it has already been four weeks. Such a long time it may seem but why do I feel that I've only gained "that" much? I've got to reflect on my actions, definitely.

I'll come back for more vaginal deliveries, that's for sure.

Raya kat Alex!

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 16:44:00 +0000

Walaupun tak seberapa, cukup memadailah untuk mereka2 yang tidak kembali pulang ke Malaysia. :P

Syawal dah habis. Adakah ini bermaksud tiada lagi bermaaf-maafan?

Selamat Hari Raya

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 09:49:00 +0000

This year's Raya came with such great expectations. And it certainly lived up to that expectation. I must say, I just celebrated the best Raya yet :) Next year, will only be that much better with it being my last one celebrating "alone" ;)

Selamat Hari Raya everyone. :) Maaf zahir dan batin.

Journey home

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 08:32:00 +0000

This is what a 10-hour transit will do to you.

Was it worth it for me to change my flight to an earlier date? Totally.

WC 2010 Final at Cafe Premier

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:29:00 +0000

World Cup Finals don't come that often in a lifetime. Moreover, it is not easy to get both of your teams playing against each other in the finals. So I took the night off and joined a few friends at a local cafe to enjoy the occasion. :D

Exam, exam jugak. Bola tetap bola. ;)

Stressed

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:21:00 +0000

Have you had a day when it feels that you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?

Somehow, I feel its today.

Hyperbolic, I know.

Night of Reflection

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 03:59:00 +0000

Hello everyone. :)

This post is old-news but I'm only posting it now cause of the time constrain I'm having due to the upcoming exams. Anyway, last Friday, 4th of June, our 2006-2012 batch had a get-together event named "Night of Reflection" carrying the theme of "Reawakening the Inner You". It was nice to be able to sit together, discuss certain issues and eat good food. :D

Ten bucks for guessing who's in charge. :P Haha. Just a note, this program wasn't my idea btw, I'm just helping out our dearest Student Rep, right boss? ;)

So, what's with the theme, "Reawakening the Inner You"? It sounds MAY-JOH (Australian accent?) doesn't it? It's like every single one of us had lost the light which spurred us on in our studies. Well, truth-being told, most of us felt the need to rekindle our spirits because of our unsatisfying results for the Internal Medicine and Surgical rounds. Hence the brilliant idea from those who care for others. :)

Enough of that. What's a photoblog without photos right? ;) These were not taken by me, but they are photos of ME, so they rightfully deserve a place here. :P Credits have to be given to our batch's photographer, Izyan. More of the nights' photos can be seen from his blog.

Note: I'm the one giving the token of gratitude to our walid, Ust Ishak, and not vice versa. :P

Congratulations btw to my Surgical section. :D We're already the best group in my opinion and we cemented it by scoring the best overall marks for Surgery. Keep it up everyone. :)

Ps.
Why am I sitting on the floor? Choose one.
a) No one else wanted to.
b) Most front, utmost attention. :P
c) I like sitting on the floor.

Dinner at the Coffee Roastery

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:40:00 +0000

A dialog between two people who are supposed to be on a diet. :P

"**, kau baru gi bank kan tadi?"

"A'ah. Asal?"

"Jom melantak kat Roastery malam ni."

"Cam menarik. Ajak ar **** ngan sape2 lagi yang nak gi."

Kat Roastery, sambil nak tunggu order kitorang siap, dak2 ni gi borak pasal kisah silam kat asrama masing-masing. Sebab aku tak pernah ade pengalaman belajar kat asrama, tumpang gelak je laa semalam. Ape yang diborakkan sampai kitorang tergelak? Biarlah rahsia. :D

Mulut lelaki tengah bergosip. Kalah perempuan. Hehehe.

Eh? Tajuk post cakap "dinner", tapi mana gambar makanannye? Tak sempat la nak snap gambar steak semalam, lapar sangat. :P

Ps. Sorry Awe. Aku baru perasan aku tak amik gambar ko semalam. Yg ade pun dua gambar yg ade siku ko. Hehehehe. Lain kali jangan la dok kat penjuru yer. :D

Wake up! Rise up!

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 04:02:00 +0000

In less than 2 months, I'll be finishing my fourth year of Med School. "How fast time flies" seems to be my favorite quote these days. Yet, every single time I ask myself, how much of it have been of quality? How much of it have I used wisely? With regret, I'll say, not much.

During my last usrah, our naqib, Ust Fairuz said to us, "Ramai orang cakap, masa berlalu dengan cepat. Tapi banyak manakah berkat masa yang berlalu itu?"

After hearing that, I felt like a huge anvil just dropped on my head. Seriously. I started to relate it right away with my daily activities.

A perfect example would be my three-times-a-week four hours clinical rounds. Last week, I used to complain, four hours is just too long for us to be in the ward with patients. But this week, although I'm still elated when my Professor released us early, I made sure to make full use of the time I have at the wards. I try not to complain, even when the resident repeat the same things. I try not to complain, even when two different Professors gave a lecture on the same topic.

I am a student, and my knowledge is like a drop of water in the ocean.

So I hope my fellow colleagues who might stumble upon this post, to wake up, to rise up. We may have our complains, but complains are not meant to be reflected on our attitude in class. Save them for later, cause we will never get any benefit from complaining.

We've only got two years left before all eyes will be on us. We will be judged for our actions, not only by our future patients but also by Him. Two years, what will we get if we keep on complaining?

Be enthusiastic. Avoid complaining.

Reach for it!

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Sat, 22 May 2010 05:11:00 +0000

Everyone's got different goals that they want in life. But sometimes they just seem too far.

Well, you can't always get what you want. Fact. But if you think its something you deserve, reach for it. You may be surprised by what you'll get just by trying. ;)

Today is our day.

Crazy, much?

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Tue, 18 May 2010 20:29:00 +0000

Its 11.30 pm and I just took a butt-load of coffee.

Lol, a butt-load. Can I use that phrase to describe the intake of coffee? I don't think I can. Or can I? Isn't it better used to describe pills rather than drinks? No? Yes? God, make up your mind. -.-

The effects are kicking in.

Crazy, much?

Rationale behind all this? Obstetrics and Gynecology Midterms tomorrow. I'm shaking bro. I'm shaking.

Ok, gila dah.

Pediatric Rounds

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:18:00 +0000

Exam midterms ngan OSCE Pediatrics dah settle.

Comel gila kan? Rasa nak cubit je pipi dorang ni. Fresh gila baby2 ni. :P

Tapi..

Cuba try jawab soalan exam tadi. Tambah lak ngan nasib tak baik dapat case yang tak pernah nak belajar kat kelas masa OSCE. Dah buat dua2 tu, baru jawab balik soalan ni.

Suka Pediatrics?

Orang mungkin akan cakap, "Takde rezeki la tu. " Tapi, aku rasa.. Lagi elok kalau kita cakap, "Rezeki yang kita dapat, memadai dengan usaha yang diberi."

Lesson learnt. Jangan percaya cakap tutor kat rounds yang cakap, "You will be examined about the heart next year, not this year." And "For now its only important for you to identify the Xrays. Details on how to comment on them will be taught next year."

Next year? Asal keluar lak time OSCE semalam? Is it next year already?

Its okay. Finals ada lagi kan? :)

Midterms Obgyn lak next.

Kantoi

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Thu, 06 May 2010 14:40:00 +0000

Hi semua.

Mesti korang ingat lagi en lagu "Kantoi" yg Zee Avi nyanyi? Haa, since Zee Avi ni PEREMPUAN, lagu ni pun macam back-up PEREMPUAN lah kan? Dengar balik sat.

Kan? Macam LELAKI yang jahat betul tak? Ni kita dengar versi LELAKI pulak. Afdlin nyanyi. :D

Lawak kann? Hehehe. Good luck for the coming exam dear friends and my fourth year colleagues. :)

KSPCI 2010 melabuhkan tirainya

noreply@blogger.com (Johannas) — Sun, 02 May 2010 04:22:00 +0000

Setelah dua bulan bertungkus lumus dan berhempas pulas bermandikan keringat tatkala bersukan untuk menaikkan nama batch, Karnival Sukan PERUBATAN Cawangan Iskandariah(KSPCI) kini telah berakhir. Kenangan dan memori bersama yang diperoleh pasti akan terukir di dalam hati ini, dan insyaAllah akan berkekalan abadi.

Amacam? Leh jadi reporter tak aku? :P

Anyway, seperti yang dijangkakan, Batch 06/12 aka Tahun 4 aka Rumah Merah aka The Red Dragons, menang gaya dengan jayanya. Baca betul2 ya kawan2. Menang gaya, bukan menang bergaya. :D

Berikut merupakan sekeping dua gambar(ok, lebih dari dua) yang diambil di sekitar hari kemuncak KSPCI 2010. Check it outtt! Hahahahaha.

Naga bersiap

Nampak daaaah

Aummmm! :D

Cubaan provokasi first year yang tak menjadi..
