Making it Easier for UNPRI Graduates to Continue Specialist Education
Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Prima Indonesia (FK UNPRI) achieved B 'Fat' accreditation from the Association of Independent Accreditation Institutions for Indonesian Higher Health Education (LAM-PTKes) for the Undergraduate Medical Education and Medical Profession Study Programs.
This certainly makes FK UNPRI students proud and hope that the B Accreditation achievement can be maintained and can continue to be improved until achieving A Accreditation. Moreover, by achieving B Accreditation, doctors who graduate from FK UNPRI will find it easier to continue to specialist education.
FK UNPRI Quality Assurance is Running Well, Coordinator of Kopertis Region I, Prof. Dian Armanto, M.Pd., M.A., M.Sc., Ph.D., welcomed the B accreditation achieved by FK UNPRI.
Prof. Dian Armanto said that the achievement of B Accreditation by FK UNPRI indicates that the quality assurance system at this very rapidly developing and advancing private university is running well and correctly. Because of its good governance, the leadership at FK UNPRI also takes place procedurally.
In addition, he continued, the lecture process at UNPRI also takes place comfortably, the lecturers are sufficient, the supporting facilities and infrastructure are utilized well and correctly. "Of course Kopertis hopes that FK UNPRI's B accreditation can be upgraded to A Accreditation in the future, so that it can open Specialist Education," he said.
He also hopes that FK UNPRI must also continue to improve and develop, and improve the quality of its education to be even better. So that it can produce graduate doctors who can compete in the current era of globalization and in the future. "The point is that FK UNPRI must continue to increase its accreditation and be even better in the future," he hoped.
The only Private FK with B Accreditation, Dean of FK UNPRI, dr. H. Yulitas Bachtiar, Sp.A., said that currently FK UNPRI has received two B accreditations, namely for the Bachelor of Medical Education and Doctoral Profession study programs. "FK UNPRI is the only private medical faculty in North Sumatra that is accredited B 'Gemuk', both for the Undergraduate Medical Education and Medical Profession study programs.
Based on the Decree of the LAM-PTKes Association Number: 0410 / LAM-PTKes / Akr / Sar / III / 2016 signed by the General Chairperson Prof. dr. Usman Chatib Warsa, Sp.MK., PhD, dated March 20, 2016 in Jakarta, the Undergraduate Medical Education study program at UNPRI Medan achieved B accreditation.
Likewise for the Medical Profession study program, in accordance with the Decree of the LAM-PTKes Association Number: 0411 / LAM-PTKes / Akr / Pro / III / 2016, it was decided that the UNPRI Medan Medical Profession study program also achieved B accreditation.
With B accreditation, both study programs said, continued dr. H. Yulitas Bachtiar, of course makes it easier for UNPRI graduate doctors to continue to specialist education. "Because the specialist education center in Indonesia requires that those accepted to continue to specialist education are doctors who graduated from the Faculty of Medicine that is accredited A or B," he explained.
Meanwhile, UNPRI Founder dr. I. Nyoman Ehrich Lister, M.Kes., AIFM, admitted that he was proud of what FK UNPRI had achieved which had succeeded in obtaining B accreditation and would continue to improve the quality, facilities and infrastructure needed, so that next year it could obtain A accreditation.
