Introduction

World Environment Day is joyously celebrated every year on 5th June to raise global awareness for taking positive environmental actions to protect the nature resources and the planet Earth.

The burgeoning population growth and the growing economic development with high exploitation of natural resources have caused degradation and pollution that has severely affected the delicate ecosystem, leading to loss of biodiversity. To address these growing environmental challenges, it is the responsibility of all the citizens of this planet to play an active role in protecting our environment for a sustainable future.

There is a global increase in health-related issues due to water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, poor sanitation and vector borne diseases. Sustainable environment is the key that provides an answer to the question how human beings can coexist harmoniously with the Earth and the nature.

In conjunction with WED 2016, AIMST University is proud to organize seminar and events dedicated to preserve our environment. It would also be an opportunity for all of us to be empowered and be an agent of change to ensure positive impact on the planet.

This competition is targeting school students as major participants. This competition also plays an important role in the development of recycling and innovation skills among students. Promoting recycling offers other important economic and social benefits: generating economic growth and fostering innovation.

Recycling contributes to a green economy in numerous ways, including enhancing resource efficiency and reducing environmental impacts. Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume precious resources. So, recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for future generations.

Recycling also reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution.

The Faculty of Dentistry (FOD) began its journey in the year 2005 from the interim campus of AIMST University, with the pride of being the first dental school instigated by a private university in Malaysia. The Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree program was established by Professor Dr. Frederick Charles Smales, who was also the founder Dean. The curriculum for the BDS program was designed by Professor Dr. Margaret B. Comfort and was implemented with the first intake of 40 students in August 2005. Subsequently, the students’ intake increased every year and reached 75 per intake in the year 2008.

The staff strength was simultaneously increased as per the needs. Successively, the faculty acquired the state of the art infrastructure for dental equipments and well-designed dental laboratories at the new green ultra-modern campus in Semeling.

The objective of this workshop was to conduct a post-mortem of the PBL process that we follow in our MBBS curriculum and to get the faculty consensus on standardising the overall PBL process for both the clinical and non-clinical courses of the faculty and at large synchronize the process for other faculties of the university.

Phase I Workshop

There were 55 participants for the Phase I Workshop from the faculty of medicine, pharmacy and applied health sciences, and had an in-depth discussion to understand the awareness, concerns/issues and possible/feasible solutions to address the following:

• Are students benefitting from PBLs?
• Are they seeking the right information?
• Are we doing it right?
• SWOT of the PBL process we are currently following.

The general consensus arrived was

1. PBL process should be standardised and made uniform across the curriculum.
2. Facilitator training workshops are required to increase the pool of well-trained facilitators.

Phase II Workshop

The Phase II Workshop on 29th July, 2016 was taken through by Prof. Debra Sim, Professor of Pharmacology, Universiti Malaya and a PBL expert. A mock PBL was demonstrated. This was followed by group discussions on the common challenges encountered by the facilitators during a PBL session.

Good clinical practice (GCP) is a standard for the design, conduct, performance, monitoring, auditing, recording, analyses and reporting of clinical trials that provides assurance of data and the reported results are credible and accurate. In addition, the rights, integrity and confidentiality of trial subjects are protected.

By looking at the demand of the need of GCP in order to carry out any research involving human subjects, the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) committee of Faculty of Pharmacy, AIMST University, jointly organized its first GCP workshop with the Clinical Research Centre (CRC), Hospital Sultan Abdul Halim, Sungai Petani at AIMST University.

This two and a half day event took place from 24th to 26th August, 2016 at the AIMST University campus and was officiated by our Honourable Vice Chancellor, Senior Professor Dr. M. Ravichandran.

Among the total of 60 participants, 44 were from AIMST University and 16 from Ministry of Health personnel. This event received positive feedbacks from all the participants. Participants learnt how to ensure that drug-related trials in Malaysia are conducted in accordance with international ethical and scientific standards.

Furthermore, the participants were also exposed in details to the quality processes required in the conduct of clinical trials and ensure that the human subjects participating in the trial are well protected and thus conducted studies are based on good science background and are well-designed.

The rules and regulations pertaining to conducting a clinical trial in Malaysia were shared with all the participants on the last day of the event. The workshop ended with a one hour written exam. We hope that this will increase the awareness of GCP amongst the researchers and promote meaningful clinical research in Malaysia. This shall pave the way for our researchers to achieve excellence in clinical research.

Globally, World Environment Day (WED) is a great annual event celebrated on June 5, to create positive awareness to preserve the environment and the planet earth. As per the recent record, there are 8.7 million species of organisms estimated to exist in the earth and we are one among them.

The burgeoning population growth and economic development with high exploitation of natural resources in various countries continuously damages our planet’s environment and thereby causing a lot of environmental consequences and challenges to combat. Genetically, all the organisms are related to one another. All the plants and organisms are our relatives and some percentage of our genome sequences are similar to even bacteria, plants and animals. It is our responsibility to preserve the fellow living organisms on the earth and conserve the environment. This year’s theme for WED 2016 is “Go Wild for Life” high-lights the fight against the illegal trade in wildlife.
