Held at the Medical faculty of UiTM Sungai Buloh, the Medic Olympiad 2015 brings medical students from among Malaysia’s top universities together to vie for the prestigious champion’s award. It is also a form of informal learning that helps enrich their knowledge and thinking skills in medicine. Most importantly it provides the platform for undergraduates to interact and establish network very early in the career as a healthcare professional. The event was open to pre-clinical medical students from both public and private universities in Malaysia. “We are honoured to be able to contribute to IMU”, said Brandon.
Congratulations to the team! IMU is proud of you.
