Residents of Vista Komanwel: Beware of Con Man!!!

To ALL,

Recently I have 2 students reporting to student services that they have been cheated on rental money at vista komanwel.


The scenario would be a girl (by the name of Sharon, claiming to be IMU student but now is no longer our student, with HP no: 016 884 3802) sending out an advert to say there is a room available. The room looks very good, therefore the potential student will like it and will be asked to bank in their rental to:

Yong Kah Tung

Public Bank

Acc no: 47 1696 0117

Hp no: 017 331 5356

One student was asked to bank in 6 months rental. Therefore, she lost all her money. This girl moved in to the room already and 1 week later, the owner came to ask her to leave.

Please disseminate this information to all students for them to be careful. I think students should be alerted that if the other party asking for so much money, they should be starting to query the person. Ask all students to take note of this account number. Please see me if you need any more clarification.

Thank you.

Clarification on the abstract for CPIV Integrated Seminar

To ALL,

As I have mentioned this before, "Now keeping the plenary topic as TITLE, those 3 students can produce a single abstract having background, objectives (preferably 3 individual objectives of those 3 students), methods."

OPTION 1: (I gave this option for the following reason)
3 students can choose a plenary topic and have different aim and objectives for each student. In that way you can produce only one abstract to the lecturer. (since plenary topic will be same for all the 3 students). I announced this way since I received call from students stating that it is difficult for them to communicate with their group members because they are in different hospitals. So, by this way anyone among the group of 3 can prepare the abstract.

OPTION 2:
Each student in a group of 3 can prepare their own plenary. For example:

Main topic: Eczema

Plenary:
Student 1: Probiotics in the management of atopic eczema
Student 2: Epidemiology of hand eczema in an industrial city
Student 3: Topical corticosteroid phobia in patients with atopic eczema
In this case, students have to prepare abstract individually for their plenary.


For background, it means the past occurring of the topic you are going to discuss. In other words it can be introduction of the topic. If you are presenting a case still you can write method, because you will be integrating it with your plenary (if possible). If it is so difficult OR if you all do not understand it, give a summary about what you are going to present in 200 words.

Still you have issues, feel free to mail me at any time. (kingston_rajiah@imu.edu.my)

Thank you.

Mr. Kingston

Clinical Pharmacy IV Integrated Seminar Presentation

To ALL,

The sub-topics of the Clinical Pharmacy IV Integrated Seminar Presentation would be the ‘a’ and ‘b’ subtopics provided on grouping lists in the elearning. Students are to contact lecturer in charge if they are not clear. Mr. Kingston said for the 2 subtopics under each large topic, the initial 3 students of a main topic will do ‘a’ part and the next 3 will do ‘b’ part under the main topic. Now those 3 students will divide among themselves the plenary topic. For example, the plenary topic is ‘management of upper urinary tract infection’ 3 students can divide this topic into different objectives according to disease conditions OR drugs OR in any other aspects.

Now keeping the plenary topic as TITLE, those 3 students can produce a single abstract having background, objectives (preferably 3 individual objectives of those 3 students), methods. Please liaise with the lecturers assigned for the topics to know whether hard/soft copy. The abstract is a small write up of description of the learning objective/outcome of the presentation. Tips: everyone can look at Sem 8 manual -there are plenty of learning outcomes there as guidance. This is to be sent earlier to lecturer together with the plenary question to allow lecturer to have better idea of coverage and to give ideas of modification needed for plenary/presentation. For students presenting at 1st two weeks, they should really start communicating with lecturer in charge of integrated seminar now.

To every one of you, please communicate with lecturer in charge of presentation for advice as the topics are different each group. Lecturer emails should be in student manual. Different lecturer may have slightly different ideas although there is a general guide. If you have any questions, please post directly in the forum of the e-learning portal or refer to your respective lecturers. No need to go through Jun Yan then he will email to me all the time, and sometimes I’m also not sure who’s he referring to because I really can’t remember all the names of the class. I urge everyone to take initiative to cooperate with your respective lecturers about this seminar since you all are in Sem 8, who are graduating soon as a working pharmacists.

Please give us the feedback (both positive and negative) about the hospital attachments that you all have gone through by filling the student evaluation forms, so that we can improve further in the future for your junior batch. I hope that I have made myself clear to everyone.

Thank you.

Regards,

Ms Wong Pei Se

Clinical Pharmacy II Selective Presentation

To ALL,

There is no specific requirement for the format of selective presentation. Students can propose and check with lecturer in charge if assurance is needed. One presentation based on the selective chosen using an illustrative case study. Student should give a short introduction, proceeding to a detailed discussion on their chosen case with emphasis on the identified pharmaceutical care issues (TPN, CDR, Retail Pharmacy) or any other relevant issues (Industrial).

Example - for those doing OPD, the presentation can be based on description of all drugs, issues identified if any, review of medication and discussion of important counselling and monitoring.

Those doing TPN and CDR - presentation can be based on a case - overview of patient and condition, how regimen is planned, calculation involved and monitoring needed for the patient. If case is not available or not suitable, student may present short description of why TPN/CDR is given, how TPN/CDR are prepared, precautions on storage etc.

As these are selective and exposure can be different in different hospital, some students may able to see cases and some may not. As such, there would not be a standard structure of presentation format. Assessment shall be flexible in the sense that students need to show understanding of the area e.g. OPD, CDR, TPN etc that they are attached but based on the context of presentation.

Thank you.

Regards,

Ms Wong Pei Se
