UNIVERSITAS DIPONEGORO DELEGATION INTERMEDICAL SCHOOL PHYSIOLOGY QUIZ UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA

Delegation Report to the 9th InterMedical School Physiology Quiz

Fadel Muhammad Garishah, Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University

Physiology is one branch of

biomedical science. The Greeks

around 600bc used Physiology to

describe the philosophical inquiry

into the nature of things used the

term “Physiology”.

The science covers the

functions of living systems. It

comprehensively discusses from Fadel Muhammad Garishah at UMMC

the smallest molecular cell functions to the complicated homeostasis.

A. The Inter Medical School Physiology Quiz

Professor Dr. Cheng Hwee Ming is a notable Physiologist from Department of

Physiology, Faculty of Medicine University of Malaya. He initiated his idea about

bringing an inter Medical School Quiz for the medical subject, Physiology.

The IMSPQ proposes the Prof. A. Raman Challenged Trophy for the winner,

and also a packet of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine from McGraw Hill

Medical Publishing Malaysia.

B. Universitas Diponegoro Delegation to IMSPQ

Faculty of Medicine Universitas Diponegoro sent its first delegation in 2010.

The delegation passed the first round. In 2011, Dr. Hardian from Department of

Physiology initiated the first delegation by the students idea about sending the

delegation of UNDIP to the 8th IMSPQ.

The second delegation was represented by Fadel Muhammad Garishah, Eriel

Sandika, Fitria Prabandari, Nida Nur Hanifah and Christie Ayudiatama. The

delegation also passed the first round, but then didn’t enter the next round.


C. The Competition

The first step was the multiple

choices questions. The questions are 100

physiological questions true and false also

suitable answers. It was an amazing test I

ever experienced. We were all nervous

since we somehow not really sure of our

answers.

The team failed to pass the first round directly from the multiple choices questions

step. At the pre-‐eliminary round we passed to the first round, but then we did not

pass the next round again.

The questions are basic physiology, covered from the Cell and Muscle

Physiology, Renal Physiology, Pulmorespiratory Physiology and Cardiovascular

Physiology, also Physiology of Reproductive System and Endocrinology.

Prof Cheng was the master of quiz. He read the oral questions, and each

team (consisted of the 3 students) had to answer the questions alternately.

The competition was won by Chulalongkorn University, followed by the NUS

and All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences.

Eriel Sandika, Nida Nur Hanifa, Prof Dr. Cheng Hwee Ming, Fadel Muhammad Garishah

and Fitria Prabandari

In the end of competition, the UNDIP team gave a gift from our Dean of

Medicine Dr. Endang Ambarwati, and took picture together.


D. Experiences in Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia is the first country I visited. The group took flight via Semarang

Jakarta Soekarno-‐Hatta and landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Dr. Noor

Wijayahadi (Department of Pharmacology) and his wife had already picked us, since

he was having a Pharmacological Research in Kuala Lumpur.

After we arrived at the College (Students’ Apartment) we get prepared the

next competition. At the competition day we followed the competitions included the

cultural night where all the students brought their country performance. And

honestly I didn’t feel the tight tension between Indonesia and Malaysia. All the

medical students there are very respectful to us.

We also visited some places like the PETRONAS Twin towers and also the

Central Market. We were guided by the UM Medical Student Christabel David

Mojiun and Jenny Lam.

E. Faculty of Medicine UM and Medical Students Life in KL

The atmosphere is of course not different from Indonesia. But the education

and students atmosphere somehow seemed to be different. The students in

Malaysia have to live in the college within the campus, and they are only permitted

to go home at the weekend.

Every morning they get prepared and begin the class in the morning, while in

the afternoon they do some sports, and gather together playing around.

I experienced a very different atmosphere somehow, maybe because of the

new place or the different education management.

F. Lessons I Learned

Through this competition I experienced the different way of thinking and

study. As the medical students, we must study comprehensively, and it will be better

if we know even the single detail of a physiological mechanism, so we can analyze

the pathological basis of disease even better.

And for you who wants to join IMSPQ you must prepare your basic

physiology with strength, and fundamentally.
