Trip to UKM Biomedicine Symposium 2009







21 March 2009 - The most talked about event among students in Biomedicine, the UKM Biomedicine Symposium was our stepping stone in Biomedicine UPM to initiate inter university relationship. Among the universities which attended this event were UKM (the organizer), UPM, UM and UIAM.

The symposium kicks off with thesis presentation competition, where final year students of UKM present their hard work in research, to everyone attended that competition. It was truly an event for those of high intellect.

Next, a talk was held by representative from the Malaysian National Biomedicine Society, who spoke on the importance of this society establishment. He encouraged Biomedicine graduates to join as a member and be part of the national body, where rights and future of Biomedicine graduates are addressed. And with the help from numerous clubs from different universities, this would ensure that this strong aspiration would be a reality in the near future.

Later on, a forum was held and presidents from 4 universities spoke on issues that arised and suggestion of ideas for a joint activity between 4 universities. It was a heated discussion, opinions and critics were given among club presidents and also other EXCO who were there as audience. In conclusion, 4 universities came to an agreement that all 4 universities would work together, to organize Malaysia's First Ever National Biomedicine Symposium in 2010. And we from UPM are greatly honoured to be the venue organizer.

The whole event ended with a photography session and we bid good bye to UKM. May our relationship with UKM, UM and UIAM stay strong for many years to come.
