IMAM Medical Symposium 2010

2010-03-07T11:09:00.000-08:00

Do you know that...

IMAM Medical Symposium this year is going to be held in THREE different universities in Dublin

Trinity College Dublin

Its four-hundred-year-old tradition of scholarship (the oldest educational institution in Ireland) confirm its position as one of the great universities of the world

It is one of the MUST-VISIT on the itinerary of all visitors to Dublin, where the exhibition of Book of Kells inside the Old Library dating back from the 9th century is located within the compund of the college (if you have a friend studying in TCD, you can get into the Old Library and Book of Kells' exhibition for FREE!!)

Bram Stoker (author of the famous Dracula), Denis Parsons Burkitt (of Burkitts Lymphoma), Ernest Walton (Nobel Laureate in Physics) and Mary McAleese (current President of Ireland) are among the alumni of Trinity College Dublin

Trinity College Front Gate

Long Room, Old Library, TCD

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN

Ireland's version of University Malaya, UM (the buildings, the students' lifestyle, etc) - so say the Malaysian students

Dated from 150 years ago, established in 1854

Has produced graduates of remarkable distinction including famous surgeons, architects, entrepreneurs and five of Ireland’s Taoisigh (Prime Ministers). Perhaps the best known of all its graduates is the writer James Joyce, who completed his Bachelor of Arts at the university in 1902

It used to be located at the heart of the city in St Stephen's Green, however moved to a bigger area in Belfield to accomodate the college's phenomenal growth during the 1960's and 1970's

Its Health Science Complex (which is one of the venue for symposium!!), designed by the Murray O'Laoire Architects, had won awards (the Best Educational Building and Best sustainable Projects) for its modern, time forward and fresh designs!

The Stories before

2010-01-17T08:37:00.000-08:00

Dublin Symposium 2010 will be the seventh symposium following the six successful symposiums. as i browse through imamalaysia.org, i believe priceless experience been gained by the participants from sympo 2009 which been held in Hebdenhey Scout Camp in Halifax , West Yorkshire from the 20th to 22nd March 2009. Eventhough it was just a four day programme but from my point of view, it was a great waste for those who missed this opportunity.
The main theme of the Camp was “What they didn’t teach you in the medical school”. as fabulous as last year's topic, sympo2010 bring up front the topic of “The twisted tales of medicine, unravel the myths creating a legend”. complicated it may sound, couldnt be compare to the lenght of experience and lesson of life this programme will offer you, a life long lesson especially in medicine as well as pharmacy.

Life as a medical student is synonymous with a busy-hectic life and also books. However, that would never be an excuse for medic student to miss this golden opportunity to bring up the quality as a doctor in their inner-self, which will be a great advantage in their career as a doctor in a few years time. competent, innovative and diplomatic medical graduates are the major aim of imamsympo 2010 as all these precious quality is naturally born in one self, but our responsibility is to polish the talent and the quality to be use in the most noble occupation in the world, doctor.

imam sympo 2010 is a well recognized as an international event which will be participated by 200 medical students and practising doctors from Malaysia, Ireland, United Kingdom, Russia and Czech Republic. We really hope that the participants will realize their significant role as the future Muslim professionals thus getting the correct paradigm and not just play their role as an ordinary professionals but beyond than that.

Once Upon A Time..

2010-01-12T07:49:00.000-08:00

Dublin Symposium 2010 is a scientific congress that has been an annual tradition for Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia (IMAM). IMAM was established in 1989 and recognized as one of the largest medical professional organisation in Malaysia. It is comprised of doctors, paramedics and medical students who carry out voluntary work outside the confines of the government and private sectors. IMAM is also an active member of Federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA).

Dublin Symposium 2010 will be the seventh symposium following the six successful symposiums in Dublin Hilton Hotel (2004), Manchester Royal Infirmary Center (2005, 2007), Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (2006,2008) and Hebden Hey Scout Centre, West Yorkshire(2009). The symposiums have maintained a good rapport with Malaysia government and officiated by Malaysia notable figures such as Prime Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Director-General of Health, Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Hj. Mohd. Ismail bin Merican.

Realizing the importance of producing competent, innovative and diplomatic medical graduates, this coming symposium will highlight “The twisted tales of medicine, unravel the myths creating a legend” as the theme. It combines three main slots of the 2 days programme, which are students’ life, the early part of a doctor’s life and the contributions of a doctor, which blend the Islamic values in order to foster human capital in this valuable asset of the nation. This is parallel to the country’s mission which is to generate professionals who are accomplished and capable of contributing not only in local community but also globally.

This international event will be participated by 200 medical students and practising doctors from Malaysia, Ireland, United Kingdom, Russia and Czech Republic. – speakers will take part in this symposium and it will be officiated by ---. We really hope that the participants will realize their significant role as the future Muslim professionals thus getting the correct paradigm and not just play their role as an ordinary professionals but beyond than that.

Myth vs Legends : The Objectives

2010-01-10T16:33:00.000-08:00

Life as a medical student is synonymous with a busy-hectic life and also books. Apart from only a handful of them who managed to break away from these stereotypes, majority of the medical students are still trapped under these stigmas,
thus making them steering away from involvement in societies and voluntary works.

Moreover, some are even taking an advantage to their ‘student’ title as a license to ‘enjoy life to the fullest’, thinking that their life as a doctor in the future will be so demanding and time consuming.

Realizing these issues, we, IMAM EIRE UK student chapter is bringing in the bigger picture of how a doctor’s life really is and how it can be a great life experience as the main ingredient of the 7th symposium.

Our aim is to produce participants that can contribute back to the communities not only as a doctor and also beyond than that!

Thus, our formulated objectives are:

to build up a fundamental understanding of the values of life in each and everyone of the participants based on positive platforms as well as to thrown away the stigmas, myths and clichés in doctors’ world, be it from doctors’ or students’ perspectives.

to assimilate the creative thinking skills, communication and socialization through sharing moments with doctors and facilitators.

to aid the participants in indentifying their own abilities in various ways of contributions in the future.
