A short visit, but packed with insights ✨

Had the opportunity to visit the CelcomDigi AiX Centre for an engaging session on AI applications across healthcare and beyond. This time, together with our Biomedical Sciences and Health Science Management students 🫶🏻

Truly a refreshing (and eye-opening!) evening, kan?

Big thanks to JJ, Rahmat & Ivan for the warm hosting!

Advancing echocardiography education through global collaboration 🌍🫀

The BCT Industrial Talk – Advanced Echo Workshop marked a significant one-day hybrid event, engaging Bachelor in Cardiovascular Technology (BCT) students alongside nearly 200 international participants via an online platform.

The session delivered in-depth insights into advanced echo modalities, including 3D echocardiography, 3D volumetric analysis, GLS, and strain imaging, equipping participants with essential skills for contemporary cardiovascular practice.

With the support and collaboration of CVS Medical, the workshop served as a platform for knowledge exchange, innovation, and the continuous development of future cardiovascular technologists.

🚑 FAST Project is Back!
We are excited to announce the upcoming FAST Project (First Aid Skills Training), which will be held at the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong on 6 April 2026.

This meaningful initiative will involve students from the Bachelor in Cardiovascular Technology, Bachelor in Nursing, and Diploma in Medical and Health Science, who will take on the role of trainers in delivering essential first aid knowledge and skills.
Through this programme, we aim to reach over 100 participants, including members of the public and FRIM staff, by equipping them with basic emergency response and life-saving techniques.

✨ Empowering communities through knowledge, skills, and confidence in first aid.

Throwback to February 2026 when our Diploma in Medical and Health Sciences (DMA) students stepped out of the classroom and into the real healthcare world during an Industrial Visit and Talk at Hospital Al-Sultan Abdullah and Pusat Kesihatan UiTM.

Students had the opportunity to explore real clinical environments, observe healthcare practices, and gain insights into the expectations of working in the healthcare industry.

✨ Learning. Exploring. Preparing for the future.
