Jakarta, 3 May 2023 - The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia again held the second period of Doctor's Oath in 2023, with the theme "Duc in Altum, Aspectrum Solis".
The oath-taking by 74 New Doctors was held at the 15th floor of Yustinus Building, Semanggi Campus, on Wednesday (3/5) and was attended by the rectorate of Atma Jaya Catholic University (Unika Atma Jaya), leaders of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK), representatives of Atma Jaya Hospital doctors, representatives of the DKI Jakarta Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI), representatives of the North Jakarta IDI, representatives of partner hospital doctors, clergy, and parents of New Doctor candidates.
"I and the entire family of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK) congratulate the 74 New Doctors to also always dedicate themselves to serving in the community," said Dr Felicia Kurniawan, dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK).
In her speech, Dr Felicia also conveyed her message to the 74 New Doctors not to stop learning in order to keep up with the rapid development of technology. Dr Felicia also appealed to the New Doctors to avoid actions that violate the Indonesian Medical Code of Ethics.
The same thing was said by Dr. Yohanes Eko Adi Prasetyanto, as the Vice Rector for Research & Cooperation, who also advised the New Doctors to continue to deepen their knowledge so as not to lose competitiveness with technology and access to information that is increasingly easy to obtain by the public.
The Oath Taking by the New Doctors was led by Dr. dr. Felicia Kurniawan, M.Kes as the Dean of FKIK Unika Atma Jaya. After that, the inauguration of the oath was carried out by the clergy according to the religion of each New Doctor.
On this occasion, FKIK Unika Atma Jaya gave awards to outstanding students with the title of best graduate :
1. Highest GPA: dr. Serline
2. Highest CBT Score: dr. Mikhael Tjahjady
3. Highest OSCE Score: dr. Danniel Loogman
The theme "Duc in Altum, Aspectrum Solis" which means dive into the deep, gaze towards the sunrise itself means an invitation to New Doctors to explore the medical world and spread positivity and healing to the wider community.
In addition, the theme also means the search for the meaning of life as a doctor and an invitation not to forget God's intervention in shining and guiding every activity undertaken.
Before the event closed, the New Doctors presented a video, a letter and a song addressed to both parents as a form of gratitude and thanks for the prayers, support and love that have always been given.
Hopefully the inauguration of the 74 New Doctors can further advance the welfare of the health of the Indonesian people, in line with the value of Caring owned by Unika Atma Jaya to continue to be lived throughout the journey of becoming a doctor.
