Adhwa as a biomedical student at IHS
Describe your life as a biomedical science student.
I studied health sciences together with Medicine Cohort 4 throughout my first year, and then studied modules specialised in biomedical sciences such Clinical Microbiology (Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology and Parasitology), Histopathology, Medical Genetics, Clinical Immunology and more for the next two years. Also, as partial GenNext undergaduates, I also took external modules (which are usually our time to clear our minds from health sciences) such as Children’s Literature and Maths & Technology. Then being in a special first cohort, we did our academic final year in the third year, allowing us to do our Research Projects (my most heavy-reading and time-spent module!) throughout the year. Then in the final year, we will be heading for our Discovery Year. Not forgetting, my cohort only has 11 people, and being a small group makes us close to each other as family.

What do you think about IHS?
IHS has taught me so many things, academically and personally. It is a place where I really learnt independence. The admin and teaching staffs, also the technicians are very friendly and approachable, making my university life worth it.

What is your favourite subject(s)?
Firstly, I like Anatomy in my first year because it is my opportunity to draw stuffs on my notes and even on the whiteboards (and trust me, I even drew on my exam paper too!) Apart from that, I like it for the sessions that we have practically, which involved organ dissections. And then also, recently I am in love with Research Project as we were given the chance to perform our experiments by ourselves. It is the hardest module I ever had so far as a biomedical scientist, but we survived impressively!

Describe your happiest moment in IHS.
My cohort has this tradition that we started in the first semester – we went out for movies, ambuyat, or beach on the exact day of our final exam paper. It’s like our run of freedom. It’s funny that during the exam week, we seemed to be more excited about the tradition outing than to worry about our final paper! In addition, there is another tradition involving the whole faculty in which the juniors must perform during the seniors’ graduation night – I performed for two senior cohorts! The dance rehearsals and performances were memorable and full of laughter. I never qualified myself as a dance expert, but I had fun anyway!

How do you define love?
Hard question. I’ll say it’s indescribable.
What do you look for in an ideal guy?
Beckham’s well built height and shoulders, Niel Caffrey’s jawline, McSteamy’s voice, Gong Yoo’s hiding eyes… opst! Did I go overboard? Haha! Just kidding!
Do you have any celebrity crushes?

Which area of biomedical sciences would you like to purse?
To be honest, I am not yet sure. I might go for Public Health or even, Experimental Research. But you may never know, since I will be going to a Neuroscience based institute, I might eventually choosing that path. My wildest dream would be to be a designer for the Anatomy models and research experiments – if it ever exists!

Thursday, July 21, 2011
SIX medical students from Japan's Kagawa University yesterday began a five-week course at the Pengiran Anak Puteri Rashidah Sa'adatul Bolkiah (PAPRSB) Institute of Health Science, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD).
The students are participating in the Fifth International Summer Medical School Programme 2011, an annual exchange programme between PAPRSB Institute of Health Science and Kagawa University's Faculty of Medicine.
Dr Suwarni Hj Mohd Diah, the programme chairperson, said the participants will attend lectures, problem-based learning sessions, clinical and communication skills, laboratory sessions and tutorials during the course.
"Participants will also have a chance to gain knowledge and hands-on experiences from clinical placements in health centres and hospitals throughout Brunei," she said.
She went on to say that all sessions will be conducted in English as this will provide the opportunity for Japanese students to enhance their English language proficiency as well as their communications skills.
In addition, the participants may also have the opportunity to learn about Brunei's way of life and culture through staying with foster family and visits to various cultural and heritage places such as Kampong Ayer and the Royal Regalia building.
They will also visit the Belait district and experience Brunei's unspoiled natural heritage by going to the Kuala Belalong Field Study Centre in the remote area of Temburong.
"This year, participants will have the unique opportunity to experience the special, spiritual and social atmosphere of the holy month of Ramadhan," said Dr Suwarni.
She hoped that all Japanese students in the programme would enjoy their stay and bring a lot of good memories from their experiences in Brunei.
At the end of the course, participants will be assessed by a written examination and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
The students are also assessed on their presentations and report-writing skills.
Present at the launch of the programme yesterday was Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Corporate and Administration at UBD Hjh Anis Faudzulani Hj Dzulkiflee and Dean of PAPRSB Institute of Health Sciences Dr Hjh Maslina Hj Mohsin. — Sally Piri
