Prof. Yodi explained that there are 2 programs in the Medical Study Program, namely regular and international. The international program is designed with the aim of producing doctors with a global outlook. Prof. Yodi also shared that currently the Faculty is implementing one of the directives from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, namely increasing the quota of students in the Medical Study Program. “This is our challenge because the quality must remain the same or even increase with the increasing number of students,” he explained.

FK-KMK UGM and Erasmus MC have collaborated for a long time through MGH (Minor Global Health) which is included in the Incoming Elective Program of FK-KMK UGM. The Incoming Elective Program is a flagship program at the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing UGM that organizes the placement of students from overseas universities who are interested in increasing knowledge about certain diseases that are prevalent in Indonesia, gaining new experiences in observing clinical and/or community environments in Indonesia, and gaining best practices from the Indonesian health system, including Indonesian culture and its social aspects.
FK-KMK UGM is committed to collaborating with many domestic and foreign institutions. This is one form of contribution to realize the 17th SDG point, namely partnership for the goal. (Nirwana/Reporter)
