Interaksi Mahahsiswa Pergigian UM 2015

7th-11th September 2015
Picture
             INTERAKSI MAHASISWA PERGIGIAN UM 2015 (IMP) is conducted between dental students of University Malaya organized by the Dental Society of UM (DENSOC) in the aim of welcoming the upcoming first year dental students into the Faculty of Dentistry. The activities held throughout the week are drilled towards fostering unity and forging friendship between the first year students as a batch. Besides, it is also planned as such that the first year students are able to meet up and get to know all their seniors in this faculty. Moreover, this interaction is able to introduce student societies such as DENSOC and PIPPUM to the first year students and to encourage more participations in the future.

               The first day of IMP kick started with an opening ceremony held in a lecture hall of the Faculty of Dentistry. There were speeches by our honorable advisor- Dr. Firdaus Hariri , DENSOC president- Tan Yi Yang and the director of this project- Amirul Fahmi. It was then followed by a briefing to emphasize on the aim and purpose of the program, as well as the activities throughout the week. 

               At night, the first year students were divided into ten groups. An ice breaking program had been conducted, which the first year students were required to obtain the basic information and signatures of their own batch mates as a group. This activity is to allow each student to know their batch mates well enough for they will be seeing each other throughout these five years in this dental course. The group with the least number of signatures were given a punishment to perform a dance on stage. The following activity was for the first year students to approach the seniors personally, mainly final year seniors on the first and second night. The aim of having this session is to enable the seniors to encourage and motivate the juniors if they are having any difficulties in adapting to the new environment of dentistry, besides creating friendship bonds between juniors and seniors. 

               An introduction of DENSOC and PPIPUM was conducted in the afternoon of the second day. The first year students rehearsed their dances at night, then followed by approaching seniors, similarly to day one.

               The third day of the interaction was mainly in-charged by the 4th year dental students. The afternoon session was about the introduction of Asia Pacific Dental Students Association (APDSA) congress and mid-year meeting. The night session began with a game, called Mysterious Drawing. The first year students were divided into 2 groups, and each group was required to send representatives to draw based on the topic given. This game is designed to enhance the drawing skills of the freshies and to promote teamwork spirit. The game ended at 8.45pm with a performance by the group which obtained the lowest marks. It was followed by the interactive sessions between the first year juniors and the forth year seniors. 

               On the forth day, a briefing about Malaysian Dental Students’ Association and the exchange program was conducted for the first year students in the afternoon. The session allocated mainly for third year students this time was held at Balai Ungku Aziz. The session started at 8.30pm which the first year students were divided into five groups. They then played a game, called “telefon buruk”. The purpose of the game is to put their short-term memory to a test and to make sure that they spread information clearly. The juniors were required to memorize a sentence or a tongue twister provided. The first person was needed to memorize the sentences within the limited time given. Then, the information was being passed from the first person to the last person. The group which got the answer most accurately and the fastest was considered as the winning team. The losing team was punished by performing “chicken dance” in front of all the juniors and seniors. 

               Here comes the highlight of the week – cultural night, on the last day of the interaction week! At 8pm, the cultural night began with speeches from the director of IMP, president of DENSOC, as well as, Dr Firdaus, the advisor of IMP. They congratulated the first year students for completing all the activities successfully, besides, fostering the unity among themselves. Next, there were several performances from the first year students, namely Joget, Chinese dance, Bollywood dance, Retro dance and Kpop dance. They had put up a good show and everyone applauded loudly for them. 

               In a nutshell, this interaction week has not only benefitted the freshies, but also the seniors, as it created an atmosphere of support and respect between the students in the faculty. Furthermore, good friendship and perseverance,as well as, persistence to strive for excellence have been cultivated. It is crucial for dental students to know each other, as it is a small circle in the society. Thus, through this, we are now a big family of Dentistry.
