In addition, students also follow learning modules, as well as compiling referrals and long cases to deepen their understanding of cases and basic knowledge.
In addition to education and service, PPDS IKFR students are also involved in scientific research that contributes to the development of medical rehabilitation science. PPDS students participate in community service activities, providing education and health services for patients with rehabilitative needs. To improve their skills and insights, they attend various workshops and participate in national and international scientific meetings, strengthening their professional network and updating their knowledge according to the latest developments in the field of medical rehabilitation.
As part of their educational curriculum, the student of the Specialist Medical Education Program (PPDS) are systematically equipped and prepared in the field of Interventional Pain Management through a comprehensive series of scientific and practical activities.
