CommUniversity: Lessons from Malaysia–the International Medical University Experience

Thursday, February 17, 2022
8:00 am – 10:00 am EST/GMT-5 
Online Event

8 AM New York l 2 PM Vienna

The CommUniversity 2022 workshop series, organized by OSUN and the Talloires Network, showcases university civic engagement approaches (frameworks, strategies, methods, and practices) that have been shown to produce favorable results and that represent a standard suitable for adoption or adaptation.

These presentations are meant to prepare graduate students and faculty to apply for OSUN Engaged Research Funds, which support research tied to long-term, sustainable community partnerships. 

Join this important discussion with professors from the International Medical University (IMU) in Malaysia:

Suan Phaik Khoo, Dean for Community Engagement
James Koh, Head of the Division of Medicine and 2013 MacJannet Prize Winner

Professors Khoo and Koh will share lessons from IMU and its 9-year engagement with the Temuan tribe in Kampung Tekir, a small, remote village 10 miles from IMU's clinical campus. This village birthed IMU Cares, an autonomous entity within IMU overseeing more than 50 projects dedicated to promoting community engagement, community-based research and engaged scholarship.


Schedule:

8:00am – 8:10am : Introduction and purpose of webinar

8:10 – 8:30am : Overview and Perspective of Engaged Scholarship and Role of the University – International Medical University Case (Prof. Suan Phaik Khoo, Dean for Community Engagement at IMU)

8:30 – 9:30am : Community Engagement of a Malaysian Indigenous Community (Prof. James Koh, of the 2013 MacJannet Prize winning program)

9:30 – 10:00am : Q&A and discussion

Other workshops in the series feature leaders in the field of university civic engagement and run each month from February 2022 through July 2022, highlighting innovative community-university research in communities in the United States, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Uganda, Ghana, and Austria.
