Testimonials
Dr. Vivien Chern Yong Tan (Vivien Tan)
(Class of 2019)
“What I truly appreciated about RUMC was the holistic student experience it offered. The overseas component cultivated independence, while life in Penang was a blend of academic and extracurricular activities. The student-led academic programme allowed me to learn at my pace, making the journey enjoyable and rewarding.”
Dr. Yvette D’Oliveiro
(Class of 2002)
“What I truly appreciated about RUMC was the unique opportunity to experience two worlds – studying abroad and returning to Malaysia. This dual exposure allowed me to gain diverse perspectives from patients and lecturers in both settings. It enriched my medical education and broadened my understanding of healthcare in different cultural contexts. RUMC not only prepared me for a successful career but also gave me the tools to thrive in the global medical environment.”
Dr. Teoh Chia Wei
(Class of 2006)
“My journey at RUMC was transformative. The transnational programme provided me with an internationally recognised medical degree and a robust foundation for my career. Studying at RCSI enriched my medical knowledge while forging lifelong friendships with peers worldwide. At RUMC, I stayed connected to home, blending global exposure with local relevance. The faculty educated, inspired, and mentored me, fostering my passion for medicine. The lessons learned, both professionally and personally, instilled humility, compassion and a relentless pursuit of excellence.”
