Explore Harleen’s journey as she completed her JISCOP Work Experience through a two-week placement at the Psychiatry and Psychological Health Department, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), where she had the opportunity to work alongside two professors.

During her time there, Harleen gained a deeper understanding of the department’s role beyond academic lecturing. She discovered that, in addition to teaching Psychiatry and Psychological Health, the department actively supports patients in collaboration with government bodies and conducts various initiatives to promote mental health awareness.

Harleen was exposed to different aspects of the field, including education, patient assistance, and therapy sessions. She was also briefly involved in thesis discussions, where she contributed by assisting with data collection.

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Thong Vie Cheong and Dr. Nicholas Pang Tze Ping for their guidance and for providing Harleen with valuable insights into the field of psychology. This experience has inspired her to pursue a future in neuropsychology as a profession.
