Petition to Reinstate Clinical Rotations

Please remain the rotation as it is. We have learned a lot from different hospitals and lecturers. The experience also different and better than stay in only one hospital.

I think it’s really biased and does favour only to one side as majority of student will have to take the out numbered bad consequences from this. Imagine for some student that have cyberjaya house rent for the year, and suddenly you just put him or her to posting in somewhere other than klang valley, it surely will burden student more than now. Also the clinical exposure for every hospital is different. Some said this hospital has many procedures to be observed while other hospital not even let the student to be in the ward everyday. Please rethink and take a whole observation in this situation while making decisions instead of making it out of your rationality.

Agree

I against the full 8 weeks in a single unit

There's no need to change the current rotation system. Most of us are fine eventhough we have transport problems. We take this as part of our challenges in our academic sessions.

I am very agree on having rotation on different hospital than staying at one hospital for the entire rotation. Hope the FOM could agree and stand with student will.

we would like the current rotation system to remain the same for next year! each one of the students deserve to receive the same amount of exposure!

we would like to remain the current clinical rotation

we would like to remain the current rotation due to fair experiences in different hospitals

Please remain the rotations of hospitals for equal exposure and equal chances.

we would like to remain the current rotation system

we would like to remain the current rotation, all the travellings are so tiring

Please remain the rotation as it is. We have learned a lot from different hospitals and lecturers

I oppose new clinical rotation idea

I agree

It would be a missed opportunity for students who are not posted to Hospital Manjung for their Pediatrics rotation. Unlike hospitals in Shah Alam and Putrajaya, where clinical exposure is often limited to common cases such as bronchopneumonia, asthma, and acute gastroenteritis, the Manjung posting offers a much broader spectrum of pediatric conditions. During my time there, I encountered a wide range of core cases including congenital heart disease, nephrotic syndrome, hydrocephalus, leukaemia, and more. This extensive exposure enabled me to complete my logbook with real, diverse patient encounters, making the experience both enriching and invaluable for clinical learning. In contrast, the pediatric posting in Shah Alam Hospital only permits students to enter the ward twice a week, significantly limiting clinical exposure. As clinical year students, we should be maximising every opportunity to interact with real patients, and such restrictions hinder that goal. Similar concerns arise in other postings as well. For example, in the Surgery rotation, access to the operating theatre in Kajang Hospital is often limited due to scheduling constraints. In comparison, students posted to Muar benefit from a higher volume of operative cases daily, and some even had the opportunity to assist in daycare OT which greatly enhancing their surgical experience. Moreover, each lecturer brings unique strengths and teaching styles, all of which are essential in shaping us into well-rounded medical professionals. It would be unfortunate and inequitable if some students missed the chance to learn from certain lecturers simply due to posting allocations. While I understand that travel logistics are a valid concern, centralising postings to a single hospital is not a sustainable solution. Doing so limits the breadth and depth of clinical exposure and represents a significant loss in training quality.

I totally agree with what has been said. Staying 8 weeks in Muar or Manjung will be financially difficult for many students. Most of us have already rented a place in Cyberjaya, so we would have to pay for two places at the same time. Maintaining two accommodations simultaneously would be financially challenging. As medical students, we are already facing a demanding academic schedule, and adding this financial burden would not only increase stress but also place unnecessary pressure on our families—particularly for those whose parents are already making considerable sacrifices to support our education. Thank you
