Dear all,
I am pleased to announce that our Pharmacy students got 2nd Runner Up for the 1st IIUM National Pharmacy Quiz 2009. Congratulations to them!
Here is an article from one of the participants:
Just last month on the 3rd and 4th of October 2009, the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) had organised and hosted its first ever National Pharmacy Quiz in its very own campus in Kuantan, Pahang. The 2-day Quiz, by the theme “Gearing young pharmacists towards knowledge”, was taken part by 14 teams of participants representing 9 pharmacy schools across the country. IMU, too, had taken up the challenge and 8 of us from B106 had represented our university in 2 teams of 4 individuals.
The competition was fun and exciting, nothing less. Participating in the quiz had reminded all of us, especially myself, that as pharmacy students, we should tirelessly recollect all that we have learnt and always strive to learn beyond those that were taught. At the same time, the competition had indirectly provided us a platform to get to know and interact with other pharmacy students from around Malaysia. This, in my humble opinion, had greater significance than the actual competition itself as such interactions would promote a sense of goodwill, respect and unity amongst future pharmacists in Malaysia.
The entire journey had certainly been a valuable learning experience for myself and I do hope that there will be more of such events in the future that will bring benefit to the healthcare community.
