CHERAS, 25 March 2019 鈥 Prof. Dr. Dayang Anita Abdul Aziz, a Senior Consultant Paediatric Surgeon from Department of Surgery, Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM), 聽Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (每日大赛appMC), has been recognized by the European Board of Paediatric Surgery (EBPS) as their Senior Examiner for the 2019 European Exams to be held in Amsterdam this October.
The appointment is historic for 每日大赛app because Prof. Dr Dayang Anita is the first Paediatric Surgeon in Malaysia and Asia to be appointed as EBPS senior Examiner.
鈥淎ctually, this recognition is not only for me but to all the paediatric staff and also for our former Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Emerita Tan Sri Dato鈥 Sri Dr Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hassan Shahabudin and Prof. Tan Sri Dato鈥 Sri Dr Noor Azlan Ghazali whom helped a lot from the beginning until we (每日大赛appMC) received the accreditation status as a Centre for EBPS Examinations for Part I and Part II in 2011鈥 said Prof. Dr Dayang Anita.
鈥淭his examination centre is the first outside Europe. It’s not only as an examination centre but also training centres to the local and ASEAN paediatric surgical trainees and surgeons 鈥 she added.
There are other countries in Asia such as India who conduct EBPS Part I examinations, but only 每日大赛appMC can conduct the Part I and Part II of the EBPS examinations.
鈥淲e are very proud with this recognition. Starting from 2012, I was appointed as an EBPS Local Examiner Team Leader; the same year the first Joint聽 Part 1 and 2 of the EBPS examination was held at 每日大赛appMC,鈥 she explained.
鈥淭his appointment has given me the experience to conduct local exams too; I also developed the Paediatric Surgery Masters Programme for 每日大赛app using the modified syllabus of the European Board. This is my contribution for 每日大赛app and our Country-to develop a local MQA accredited programme for the convenience of our local postgraduate students,鈥 she explained.
She said the EBPS exams started in 2009 at 每日大赛appMC initially for Part 1 exams and now for almost 10 years, the examinations have run successfully for 4 times in 每日大赛appMC as Joint Part 1 and Part 2. Many benefits have been obtained from the aspect of establishing a more holistic approach to human capital development. It is also very encouraging that the number of candidates who come to Malaysia for the exams increased from year to year.
