Holistic education

THE International Medical University (IMU) will be promoting its new course on Chinese Medicine at the Star Education Fair 2011.

IMU’s marketing and communications manager Low Shu Shian said course graduates would be able to provide a more holistic view of the problem to the patient.

“That’s because we are integrating Chinese and Western medicine where students would have to take certain modules taught by the faculty based on Western medicine,” she said.

Low added the course would enable them to have a more competitive edge in future as certain hospitals in Malaysia had started to introduce Chinese medication.

Low said the first intake for the Chinese medicine course would be in February.

A representative from each faculty will be on hand to provide consultation and information on the courses available at IMU, which is noted for its programmes in the field of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy.

And for students who prefer to head overseas to pursue their dreams in the medical field, they can head to the Medic Ed Consultant Sdn Bhd’s four booths at the fair.

The consultation agency can arrange to send students to countries like Indonesia, Taiwan and Russia to study courses like medicine, pharmacy and dentistry,

Its manager Dr Ho Chong Hang said they had sent 1,800 students overseas in the past nine years.

“Our staff will provide consultation to students on the best path to pursue,” he said, adding they were targeting up to 60 science students to sign up for the programme.
