94 UniKL RCMP Graduates Receive Temporary Certificates

IT was a proud moment for 94 UniKL Royal College of Medicine Perak (UniKL RCMP) graduates as they received their Temporary Certificates in a Special Hippocratic Oath ceremony organized by the Faculty of Medicine.

The Presentation of Temporary Certificates and Oath Taking Ceremony was held at Casuarina@Meru Hotel on Friday (2nd October 2020). The Hippocratic Oath was led by Dr. Yee Min Chun, recipient of the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), Dean List and Primary Care awards.

In his valedictorian speech, Dr Yee said the journey to becoming a doctor was never a bed of roses. However, he is pleased that his hard work paid dividends.

UniKL Pro-Chancellor and Chairman Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr. Sukiman Sarmani, in his keynote address congratulated graduates for their achievement in the Final Professional Examination.

“The university is proud of you and what you have achieved, and together we celebrate this special occasion with you. After this, you will join the medical fraternity and undergo your housemanship,” he said.

“You will face the real challenges that requires high commitment, patience and diligence. Gain as much experience as you can and treat your patients with professionalism and humility as if they are your own family member.”

Meanwhile, Associate Professor Dr. Syed Rahim Syed Hamid, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, advised graduates to treat patients equally and humbly regardless of their status and race.

“I strongly believe that doctors from UniKL RCMP will prevail and prove to be an outstanding breed that will make the institution and nation proud. You will, in due time, be working together with healthcare personnel of different categories. They are all part of the team with one common goal which is the safety and wellbeing of the patient,” said Assoc Prof Dr Syed Rahim.

“Mutual respect is very essential. Being humble does not tarnish your status as a doctor. You will realise soon enough that you may learn a thing

or two from them as well. Believe me, I did during my junior days,” he added.

He reminded the graduates that the medical field is ever evolving and they have to be ready at all time to embrace new knowledge and understand the later technology in the medical field.

The Oath Taking Ceremony continued with the presentation of awards to the outstanding graduates in recognition of their academic and curriculum excellence performance.
