In the rapidly evolving landscape of global healthcare, possessing a comprehensive and international medical education is becoming increasingly valuable.
Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) stands at the forefront of providing such an education, offering a unique blend of global exposure, rigorous academic training and enriching cultural experience.
Located in Johor, it is a beacon for aspiring medical professionals seeking to gain a global perspective and robust medical training.
As a branch campus of Newcastle University in the UK, NUMed offers students the same world-renowned medical curriculum, ensuring that graduates are equipped with knowledge and skills that are globally recognised.
Opportunities to study at the UK campus give students wide exposure to an international campus on a larger scale.
According to NUMed’s clinical affairs dean Prof Dr Harinarayan Radhakrishna, students can appreciate the same core values, vision, quality and research robustness that is shared across the global campuses.
“They are taught and supervised by a very dedicated team of academic staff and exchange knowledge, learn and interact with people from multiple cultures and backgrounds,” he said.
One of the key aspects of a successful medical career is the ability to adapt and thrive in diverse and challenging environments. NUMed fosters resilience by providing students with extensive clinical exposure, both locally and internationally.
Prof Harinarayan shared,” Students find it a great learning opportunity to be placed in general and district hospitals and Primary Care Clinics, organise and participate in health camps, learn via mobile clinics, conduct audits and participate in research.
“They get to compare and contrast the healthcare systems of both the UK and Malaysia and develop resilience as part of their training,” he added.
Students receive ample training and exposure to hone their clinical skills.
NUMed’s commitment to empowering its students is evident in the wide array of opportunities such as student exchange programmes, research opportunities and internships which are designed to broaden their horizons, enhance their understanding of global health issues and equip them with the skills needed to make a significant impact in the medical field.
“For example, studying in the UK during the final year of the Biomedical Sciences programme provides students with the opportunity to build international networks and collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds,” said NUMed’s Associate Prof and Biomedical Sciences dean Dr Madihah Rushaidhi.
“This exposure to a global academic community fosters cross-cultural understanding and collaboration, preparing students for international careers in biomedical sciences.”
