Royal College of Medicine Perak
(RCMP) became part of University Kuala Lumpur in 2006 as its medical wing with
the objective of providing affordable medical education, as well as facilities
for continuing professional development for medical practitioners.
UniKL RCMP is strategically
located in the heart of Ipoh, the capital of Perak and the third largest city
in Malaysia. Situated on a six acre site, with its distinctive Moorish
architecture, UniKL RCMP is within the vibrant and well planned township of
Greentown where shopping malls, restaurants, food courts, clinics, banks and
tourists attractions are all within easy reach.
The college is equipped with
lecture theatres, a multipurpose hall, clinical skills laboratory, a pathology
museum, library, computer laboratories, science laboratories, prayer rooms,
mini kiosk and a dedicated anatomy building. The quiet environment, in spite of
being in the heart of the city, offers a conducive atmosphere for academic
pursuits.
By 2009, the college had an
enrolment of more than 2000 local and foreign students attending various
courses in allied health sciences as well as medical education. The students
are enrolled in Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), Diploma in
Nursing, Diploma in Pharmacy and Diploma in Medical Imaging (Radiography). The
college started the Bachelor in Nursing programme for practising nurses in
January 2010. The presence of international students reflects the trust gained
by UniKL RCMP. RCMP will continue to offer quality allied health science
programmes to fulfill the market needs.
In 2010, the college established
a Women’s Health and Specialist Centre to provide services to the community in
Ipoh.
In anticipation of the growing
number of students, RCMP has put up a new 10-storey building at a cost of RM79
million. It was completed in 2016, doubling the floor space of the current
Moorish architecture building. The new building houses a hostel for 800
students, lecture halls, staff offices, cafeteria, clinics, library and
laboratories.
The success of the college lies
in its dedicated and well qualified staff, with a wealth of experience in the
field of management, medicine and allied health sciences. In its early
operations in 1999, the college had started with only 7 staff members but today
the number has increased to more than 330.
As an institution registered with
the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC), UniKL RCMP has established agreements with
the Ministry of Health Malaysia (KKM) which enables the college to gain access
to government hospitals in Perak, and other states in Malaysia.
With this and the collaboration
with other private healthcare institutions, UniKL RCMP potentially offers
students greater exposure to a variety of patients and a wide spectrum of
diseases.
At present, the Raja Permaisuri Bainun
Hospital, Sg Siput Hospital, Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, Taiping Hospital, Sri
Manjung Hospital, Batu Gajah Hospital and all community Polyclinics in the
State of Perak, are being used as teaching centres for the college.
The Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital,
provides excellent clinical teaching resources with the presence of
well-qualified consultants and medical personnel who help to enhance the
student’s learning experience. In ensuring that the courses are relevant to the
health industry, UniKL RCMP is working closely with the healthcare authorities
and service providers.
As for the private hospitals, we
are proud to work hand in hand with a handful of reputable ones, such as KPJ,
Subang Jaya Medical Centre, Sunway Medical Centre, Loi Guan Lai Hospital,
Colombia Hospital and Pantai Medical Hospital.
The college aspires to become one
of the best medical schools in Asia by 2020
