Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences(CUCMS)

i start my journey of medical study in Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences since 1/7/2009,
the journey will take me 6 years of study life including 1 year foundation study + 5 years medical study.
From here,
it all begin with a foundation study in CUCMS, Street Mall Campus;
however,
i now proceed my medical study in CUCMS, Invent Q Jaya Campus.


Just like all others,
i had never hear about CUCMS before in any of my life circumtences since CUCMS is a newly establish medical school, which aged about 6 years.
Yet, i get to learn more about my medical school since then...


I'm still proudly to mention that i'm a CUCMSian, who study in Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences, MBBS course, although there are forest of rumors about my college.
Hence,
i would like to make clear that why im falling in love with my college.


Despite all the other glamour UNIVERSITYs, my college is just simply a simple building standing on the intelligent city and the international image of the selected township of its location, Cyberjaya.


It never been as large as others,
It never been as huge as others,
but it has been as successful as others,
and it has been as established as others.


i would said that CUCMS is an unique college which doesn't aimed to produce just another number of doctors,
but,
WE aimed to produce a holistic and competent medical healthcare profession who are intellectually, emotionally and spiritually-balanced, according to the philosophy of our college.


The Philosophy
"The harnessing of human potentials in a comprehensive manner to produce holistic healthcare professionals who are intellectually, emotionally and spiritually-balanced is based on the principles of Islam and the obedience to the Almighty Allah."


What make CUCMS a unique medical school compare to others??
Firstly, the curriculum is very much student centered with minimum didactic teaching being done. Not only is the widely accepted problem based approach (PBL) being utilised, student centered learning (SCL), structured peer group discussion and presentation and self assessment online learning are also introduced right from the first year of study.


Secondly, students are exposed very early on to the real world practice which they will experience upon completing their training. At CUCMS, the innovative Clinical and Health Exposure and Training (CHET) is introduced to students from the first semester of the course itself. Besides that, clinical skills training (CST) is being included in the credit since first year medical study which aimed to produce healthcare professionals with the passion to care.


All in all, the curriculum is designed to train practitioners of the future to be ready to use the latest of what technology can offer and at the same time, maintain human aspects of medicine in line with the motto “Nurturing the Passion to Care”.


However, 
the most important criteria for what i'm impressed in CUCMS is "WE STUDY AND LIVE AS A BIG FAMILY"!
i would make any other stranger to believe that CUCMSian live as a big family regardless of creek and religion, where all the 3 main races(Malay, Chinese, Indian) live and study together under one big roof, unlike others university where isolation and satellite grouping take place among the students.


Besides that, CUCMS enforced on student welfare,
and that,
mentor-menti  concept is utilised.
* Students are divided into several small group where each group is assisted with specific mentor, who care for the curriculum and co-curriculum of the students. Moreover, reflection section will be held every week in order for the mentor to keep track on the welfare of the student while enhancing the relationship between the mentor and menti.
* All the mentors are make up by our own lectures whom most of them are actually Prof., Assoc. Prof, Senior Dr., and Dr.

I think CUCUMS is the only private UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE who is utilizing such as section/program that care for student welfare, and this make CUCMS a big family rather than an investing private university.


There are plenty more advantages and uniqueness of Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences(CUCMS) which i cannot even describe it in words.
It is a wonderfull experience to study in CUCMS and it is a honor to be a part of the big family.  



I LOVE BEING A MEDICAL STUDENT, AND I LOVE BEING A CUCMSian.
I LOVE CUCMS.
