Quick Announcements‏

Dear all,

Here are a few quick announcements!

New printers have arrived! You can collect your personal pin number for the printer from MPH 6 or you can ask the IT Department where to collect it from. These printers are outsourced (to outsource means to obtain goods or services from an outside supplier; to contract work out.) and because it is a MYR 2 million ringgit project meant for both BJ and Seremban it had taken a while to get everything settled. I will be emailing soon about what students can get from the printers and the official pricing of printing.

There are now two more PCs in the Student Lounge for students to use. Just a reminder: please switch off the PC once you are done and no one else is using it. Please make sure that even the switches are off because otherwise they are left on overnight and it is a waste of electricity.

We are working on fixing the gym equipment with the assistance of the Gym Club and SSD. We hope students can be slightly patient with us on this as we need to evaluate which equipment is not working and then get it fixed.

The Welfare meeting is on the 15th of December (next Tuesday). If you have any concerns about facilities or student welfare you would like to voice out feel free to let us know. You can contact me or Nirmal or email imusrc@gmail.com. Here are the issues we are bringing up:
Soundproofing the music room
Hill-top carpark
Lockers to place valuables in for MDLs
Extending student lounge hours
Printers
More places to eat around IMU
Problems with teaching venues

Description
A workshop on e-book collections and how to maximize your usage. Three main bundles which are subscribed by IMU:

1. Access Medicine is an innovative online resource that provides students, residents, clinicians, researchers, and all health professionals with access to more than 60 medical titles from the best minds in medicine, updated content, thousands of images and illustrations, interactive self-assessment, case files, diagnostic tools, a comprehensive search platform, and the ability to download content to a mobile device.

Updated frequently and expanded continuously by world-renowned physicians, AccessMedicine provides fast, direct access to the information necessary for completing evaluations, diagnoses, and case management decisions, as well as for pursuing research, medical education, or self-assessment and board review.

Canteen Committee‏

Dear all,

As some students have requested to know more on what SRC are doing for the students we will be emailing you the summary of the meetings we attend. Alternatively, all these and more (for example, the previous minutes) can be found at http://imusrc.blogspot.com as well.


Meeting discussing results from Canteen Satisfaction Survey

De Brio 3rd floor got the best reviews from canteen satisfaction survey. We will investigate the claims that the auntie is rude and will ask for more variety in the food selection.

De Brio LG We will request for more variety in the food selection.

Sri Emas The pricing of the food is fixed at RM4.00 except for additional request for Chicken Rice. They might bring in Chinese vegetarian food. They too will be asked for more variety in the food selection.

Jumbo We will work with Jumbo to come up with solutions to fix the long queue problem. Pricing is by the scoop so it should no longer be inconsistent. However, we will propose that Jumbo create two different sections, to indicate different price ranges ie. one section for the individual price per item/portion while the other would cover the fixed pricing. We will ask Jumbo to clarify this to students by putting up a paper sign indicating which is which. We will ask them to include more vegetable dishes and ensure all workers serving food wear gloves.

The suggestions for items to be added for tea time will be given to all vendors.

Regarding the stench in the air-conditioned area the Facilities and Management department is working on solutions for this problem.

Also, a reminder to all students that if you buy the outside food please do not use the utensils of the canteen operators, it is an unfair cost to them. Also to maximize the space of the canteen students are requested to avoid placing their bags on the chairs so that other students can use the chairs.

Very Important: Security Issues‏

Dear All,

Recently we have had issues with outsiders coming into IMU and using student facilities. For the security of the student body outsiders are not allowed to do so. Some have even troubled our students.

Security guards often complain that they are unable to tell the difference between outsiders and students because lots of students come into IMU out of dress code and without their IMU Student IDs. There is also the issue of students being unnecessarily rude and crass with the guards when they are informed that they are not in dress code.

Students must realize that it is for their own safety and well-being that they are to follow the dress code. On a side-note, it is also the expected attire of health professionals.

Therefore it is imperative that all students:

Comply to the Dress Code from 6 AM to 6 PM (even if you are on study break).
Wear their IDs visibly at all times, even after 6 PM.
If you see any suspicious people around at anytime please do email us at imusrc@gmail.com or call us at our extension line 6601.

This is something IMU takes very seriously, and remember - please be vigilant!

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

Wednesday's Lunch-time Educational E-learning Session‏

The title for next Wednesday's learning session is Social Bookmarking scheduled for
21 October 2009, 12.15 -1.15pm and is opened to all faculty and students.

Description:
Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks (URLs) of web resources.

Appeal for organized behaviour at Medical Museum‏

Dear all,

Please take note of this matter and please take it seriously. This is for everyone's knowledge, even if you don't use the medical museum. Please spread the word to your batchmates at lectures and put it up on your respective batch blogs :


--------------------------------


IMU has been purchasing expensive models for many years in significant numbers so that the students can have a good learning experience. The students should also reciprocate by helping in up-keep of these models.
Recently it has been found that the students are taking away model parts or are not keeping the models properly after the study. I found some students telling that re-assembing the parts of a model, after they have finished the study, is the job of museum staff. I am sorry to say that it does not reflect a professional behaviour. If a student has dismantled a model to study, it is his or her obligation to re-assemble the parts. In case he or she is not able to do that , help of museum staff should be taken.
As Medical Science students are mostly using the models intensively for study, the SRC representatives of Medical Sciences are requested to look into the matter and appeal to the students for more organized and professional behaviour in Medical Museum.

In case, the problem is continued, as museum coordinator I would have no other option but to keep few models in cupboards under lock & key and allow the students to use few models only for study.

Best wishes
With sincere hope for Co-operation
AP Dr Nilesh Kumar
Museum Coordinator
International Medical University

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear SRC

I really urge students to please be more responsible when handling the models. I can still tolerate it when some students don't put models back and leave them scattered around, making it likely that parts can go missing or broken (as this has happened before) and make it difficult for others to use but I find it really irresponsible when they unscrew the models, eg the skeleton and never bother where they put the screw and just leave the detached part on the table and the screw is nowhere to be found.

I have high expectations especially for medical students and these students use the museum more than the others so it's really disappointing to observe such irresponsible behaviour.

For students who have been good and responsible ..I thank you all so much because it's cool to be nice.

Regards,
Maria
Medical Museum Staff

Dear All,

I'm sure that you are already aware of the recent disasters in Manila and Padang. Mercy Malaysia has sent a team to each location for initial assessment, and they anticipate that there is a great need for both locations to be assisted, especially with more bad weather forecasted.

In view of the recent disasters, we would be grateful if you could highlight the urgency of funds to be raised for their response to Manila and Padang.

At the moment, all donations are still channeled to MERCY Malaysia, or MERCY Humanitarian Fund. I have attached a donation form for those who are interested in making a donation.

Their donor management officer, Ms.Suhaila, will be able to assist you further, and she is contactable at suhaila@mercy.org.my or 603-2273 3999.
The SRC would like help from batchreps to collect funds as a batch by passing around a box or alternatively students can come directly to SRC to donate. All funds collected by SRC will be given under one donation form from the students of IMU.
