Eka opened the talk show. He said that being a doctor is not easy. Besides the high cost, students must experience added length of education time. ?The main key to be a good doctor is having a heart to serve,? he said firmly. In addition, ?a doctor is not only smart, but also skillful, patient, knowledgeable, friendly, open minded, and down to earth,? said him again. Eka also said that having a lot of money is not the right purpose for taking this subject. ?Don?t let money be the driving factor in your decision, as it will not sustain you. There are other careers in which you can make more money without the responsibility and effort it takes to be a physician,? he said. ?If you put patient first, money will come along. But, if you put money first, you will lose both,? he add. |
| On the other side, Anila said ?we are here to serve, not to be served.? Anila also explained more about Faculty of Medicine programs. The curriculum is designed to produce medical doctors with broad perspective in medical world. To support the professionalism development, UPH Faculty of Medicine collaborates with Siloam Hospital Group (SHG), Community Health Centre (Puskesmas), Affiliate Satellite Hospitals, as well as Mochtar Riady Institute for Nanotechnology Research Centre (MRIN). |  |

Melissa also said that currently there was Rumah Sakit Umum Siloam that was being constructed. ?This hospital will focus on providing healthcare for the low economic class without compromising the service quality. And quality healthcare should also be supported with continuous education and research,? she said. ?This hospital will also be dedicated to UPH medical students? clinical practices,? said her again. |
