My Life with DBT

1st March 2016
The date I first step into Vision College as an employee.

2nd March 2016
The date I first entered class as a lecturer to teach my new students.

My first thought when I walked into my first class was like…..
”Sikitnya student aku..”

Therefore, with that my journey as a lecturer begins at Vision College.

Besides being a lecturer, I am also a Programme Coordinator (PC) for my programme, which is Diploma In Biomedical Technology or known as DBT. This course is a new course in this college. So, that explains why the number of students are lesser compared to the other programmes.

I would like to share with all of you a little bit about DBT programme,
Biomedical Technology is one of the raising courses specifically in Malaysia. The students learn about handling medical equipments that are used at hospitals or clinics. This scope of study emerged since there is a large number of hospitals that are equipped with high-tech medical equipment, but they are lack of trained personal or manpower to carry out the maintenance, upgrade and troubleshoot of the equipments. This has resulted in downtime and shorter lifespan on the equipment.. So, that is the reason why we really need the expertise in this area.

Therefore, in order to fulfill what is required in the market, the students will need to study on the Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Biochemistry, Biomedical Electronics, Biomedical Devices, Biomedical In Engineering Physics and etc. This programme takes three (3) years to complete.

After about 5 months working here, I can say that I enjoy the working environment at Vision College. The staff over here are friendly and helpful and most importantly, I am able to attain formal working experience at Vision College after graduating from my postgraduate degree at International Islamic University in November 2015.

I think this first official job for me is like a sustenance before I get married as I am now a happy wife to my dearest husband and a caring lecturer to my dear students.

Although I am married, my students still call me Miss Sha ... hehehe ... Forever 'Miss' instead of 'Mrs'.
