Herm for ur info guys, leadership program has been held today @ Taman Gelora. (Mainboard + 2 subcoms  + I-press itself).  Program was attended by a total of approximately thirty participants. Program began with the ice breaking… each participant must take a few pieces of tissue to describe the benefits they can give to others. Later, various activities have been conducted among them- leadership quality, time management, how to make sponsorship and etc. To be a leader, there are five criteria to be concerned which is very important- Position, Permission, Production, Development, and Personhood. Those criteria is very closely related to the formation of self-potential. And the most important is Persoonhood where here the ability of a leader can be seen when he is capable to change people potential to be better. In addition, priority and goal is very important for a leader who is also a student. We not only need to smooth divides time between  society and learning, but there must be objective. And learn to say  “No”, that we should wisely choose the task and say No to insignificant task. wieeeeeee

I-press wanna share words of wisdom  from Vice President 2, Bro Syamil Zahari, “The internal matter is more important rather than external, concern more on relationships between lecturers-students and seniors-juniors”

A question was asked. How to strengthen the relationship between seniors and juniors among IPhA’s ??

What say u ???

Regarding OSCE

Perception of Pharmacy Students in Malaysia on the Use of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations to Evaluate Competence – Ahmed Awaisu, MPharm (Clin Pharm),^a Mohamad Haniki Nik Mohamed, PharmD,^b and Qais Ahmad Mohammad Al-Efan, MPharm (Clin Pharm)^b

Results

Over 80% of the students found the OSCE to be helpful in highlighting areas of weaknesses in their clinical competencies. Seventy-eight percent agreed that it was comprehensive and 66% believed it was fair. About 46% felt that the 15 minutes allocated per station was inadequate. Most importantly, about half of the students raised concerns that personality, ethnicity, and/or gender, as well as interpatient and interassessor variability were potential sources of bias that could affect their scores. However, an overwhelming proportion of the students (90%) agreed that the OSCE provided a useful and practical learning experience.

Conclusions

Students’ perceptions and acceptance of the new method of assessment were positive. The survey further highlighted for future refinement the strengths and weaknesses associated with the development and implementation of an OSCE in the International Islamic University Malaysia’s pharmacy curriculum.

The OSCE was a useful assessment method. The interrater and interpatient variability were the major weaknesses of our OSCE. Hence, this survey was a vital tool that highlighted the strengths and weaknesses in the development and implementation of an OSCE in a pharmacy curriculum in Malaysia.
