UNS — The Faculty of Medical Science (FK) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), Surakarta, inaugurates and takes the oath of nine new physicians for the Batch 219. This time the inauguration ceremony was held at the FK UNS Auditorium and broadcasted through Zoom Cloud Meetings on Tuesday (19/4/2022). Of the nine new physicians, there are two candidates from Vietnam. The Vice-Dean for Academic, Research, and Student Affairs FK UNS, Paramasari Dirgahayu, dr., Ph.D., said that the nine physicians had passed the Competency Test for Physicians Professional Program Students (UKMPPD) in February 2022.
Nevertheless, only seven inaugural participants attended in person, while two other physicians from Vietnam took part in the procession virtually. In this period, the highest GPA was achieved by dr. Ramadaningtyas Maghfirotul Fajriani with a GPA of 3.75. With the appointment of nine new doctors, FK UNS has inaugurated 6,682 physicians since 1976. UNS Vice-Rector for Management and Human Resources Affairs, Prof. Dr. Bandi, M.Si., Ak., directly congratulated the new doctors. Prof. Bandi reminded the graduates that FK UNS is fairly renowned as a Faculty of Medical Science in Indonesia. Hence, graduates are expected to pursue a new career steadily. “Congratulations to the new doctors. We are proud to inaugurate you, students, who graduated as a certified physician,” he said.
The Dean of FK UNS, Prof. Dr. dr. Reviono, Sp.P(K)., reminded the graduates that this momentum is the beginning of their new careers as a physician. This momentum is not the end of their challenges over the years. He also stated that there are many flights of stairs in the physicians’ career to be crossed by the inaugurated physicians. They can choose career ladders in the form of a specialized career path or further study. Prof. Reviono also told the new physicians that clinical ability was not enough. It needs to be supported by honesty and entertainment. Additionally, Prof. Reviono also urges new doctors to expand and strengthen their network.
These hopes were confirmed by the Chairman of the FK UNS Alumni Association (IKA), Dr. Sri Pratomo, Sp.B., FINACS, FICS., who attended the inauguration on site. He reminded the new physicians of the 3K standard that should be implemented by the new physicians, humility, politeness, and fellowship. Furthermore, the Director of Regional General Hospital (RSUD), Dr. Moewardi Surakarta, Dr.dr. Cahyono Hadi, Sp.OG., who also attended the inaugural ceremony, urged the new physicians to determine their life objectives, which are important to determine which steps to take.
Representing the inaugurated physicians’, dr. Trisandi Adi Pamungkas implored prayers to the attendees for ease in their future endeavors. They also wish to be able to promote FK UNS honor in their respective careers. “We appealed for your prayer because our journey as new physicians did not just end here. Hopefully, we can continue our journey, both in Indonesia and Vietnam, to improve our competency and be an example in contributing to FK UNS’s reputation,” he concluded. Humas UNS
