PGCert in Pendidikan Profesi Dokter

The Medical Professional Programme is the clinical stage of medical education at the Faculty of Medicine of Universitas Katolik Parahyangan. It follows directly from the undergraduate medical degree and cannot be separated from it. Medical education differs from other higher education because its graduates must combine science, skills, ethics, morals, law and psycho-socio-cultural-spiritual understanding into one whole, so that they can provide the best health care at primary, secondary and tertiary levels, regionally, nationally and internationally. The professional stage consolidates and applies earlier learning, covering attitude, knowledge and skills, including psychomotor skills gained through ethical patient care to competency standards. Training takes place at main teaching hospitals, satellite hospitals, affiliated hospitals and other learning sites. Graduates receive the title dr. (Dokter), and the programme lasts four semesters.
