AFSM is a multifaceted organisation with multiple educational initiatives in partnership with a broader group of learning institutions. AFSM runs workshops such as body dissection, medical procedures, surgical and radiological based training on a regular basis; many of these in collaboration with international and regional professional bodies. ASFM also has a research arm which allows for research students and fellows to carry out research activities in relation to the Silent Mentor program and other areas of needed research in Health. We run a regular fellowship program whereby fellows from other countries, especially third world countries, will be accepted for surgical training.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, AFSM enables the ‘Giving Beyond’ medical outreach program as a medium for our students and volunteers to give back to those most in need in society. In this program, a minimum of 4 visits per year are organized to areas of need (recently the inner tribes of Kanowit, Kapit and Sungai Asap, Sarawak) to provide health checks, screening and education to the local population. All these activities are supported by our state of the art training centres in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur and Kuching, Sarawak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The main brainchild of AFSM is the i-Silent Mentor Program, a national body donation program, which serves to achieve the aims set forth by AFSM through the selfless, altruistic acts of voluntary body donors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These body donors or ‘Silent Mentors’ not only donate their bodies but also their life stories and values as a teaching tool for liberal arts and humanity education, and as such, this program is unique in that it benefits the participants in learning soft skills in a holistic environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, through rapid freezing technology for our Silent Mentors, we are able to offer a surgical dissection model that is comparable to operating on a live human being to facilitate realistic surgical training without risk to the patient. In addition, we also use soft body intra-arterial embalmment technique to preserve our silent mentors for anatomical dissection modules over a prolonged period of contribution to medical science and education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The program has been supported through a charitable trust fund through public donation and private social responsibilities initiative. It is governed by a Board of Directors and Board of Ethicists and Humanitarian pro bono public; both local and international members, an executive committee and administration team.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” leaf_row_scheme=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1647082842973{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1647525088643{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 5vw !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 5vw !important;}” el_class=”justify-paragraph”][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGlkJTNEJTIycmNzZWQlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZhJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1648913695044{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh was founded in 1505 by Royal Charter granted from King James VI. From the discoveries of Lister and Simpson to modern day pioneers of medicine and dentistry who are developing simulation, VR and robotics, the College has been a seat of learning and advancement for over 517 years.<\/p>\n It is the oldest surgical college in the world with just under 30,000 members in over 100 countries, almost 40% of whom are overseas and touching every stage of the career path from medical student to consultant. We are a family of Surgeons, Dental Surgeons and members of the Surgical and Dental teams who put patient safety at the heart of everything they do. Our high-quality education and examinations ensure that standards are upheld across all specialties and in all countries.<\/p>\n With our interest in professional standards, the College\u2019s primary role \u2013 and the main concern of our Fellows and Members \u2013 is to ensure the safety of our patients and provide them with the best possible care. We do this by championing the highest standards of surgical and dental practice; through our provision of courses and educational programmes, training, examinations, and Continuous Professional Development; our liaison with external medical bodies; and by influencing healthcare policy across the UK.<\/p>\n We also support our professional family with a variety of specialist College Faculties, ranging from dental training to remote, rural, and humanitarian healthcare. These guide and support those in the surgical, dental, and the wider healthcare team, provide key resources and aid the continued development and advancement of key specialists across the healthcare community.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” leaf_row_scheme=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1648915087557{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/nissipublishing.org\/afsm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/event_ticket_wordpress_theme_18.jpg?id=3764) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1647525114890{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 5vw !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 5vw !important;}” el_class=”justify-paragraph”][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGlkJTNEJTIybW9oJTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGYSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1734683086462{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0Ministry of Health\u00a0Malaysia<\/strong>, abbreviated The\u00a0<\/span>Ministry of Health<\/b>\u00a0Malaysia, abbreviated\u00a0<\/span>MOH<\/b>, is a\u00a0<\/span>ministry<\/span>\u00a0of the\u00a0<\/span>Government of Malaysia<\/span>\u00a0that is responsible for\u00a0<\/span>health system<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span>health behaviour<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>cancer<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>public health<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>health management<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>medical research<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>health systems research<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>respiratory medicine<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>health promotion<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>healthcare tourism<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>medical device<\/span>,<\/span> blood collection<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>leprosy control<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>clinical research<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>health care<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>dental care<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>health institution<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>laboratory<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>pharmaceutical<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>patient safety<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n To assist an individual in achieving and sustaining as well as maintaining a certain level of health status to further facilitate them in leading a productive lifestyle – economically and socially.

The merger was formalised on 16th December 1995.The College represents the diverse interest of surgical specialties and actively promotes the art and science of the various surgical disciplines. It offers excellent services to its members and is actively engaged in training, supporting continuing professional development programmes, research and the promotion of quality patient care by developing good practice guidelines.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>There is desire and enthusiasm among its fellows to see expansion of surgery in Malaysia parallels that of the best in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
