Recent years, there have been countless emerging cases or news articles featuring issues within Malaysia's Houseman Training, amongst which include prolonged waiting periods for houseman postings, incessant complaints of stresses and fatigue mentally, emotionally, and physically while within the programme, and cases of housemanship extensions and dropouts due to incompetency.
Despite commonly discussed, these issues may remain as clear as dishwater to many of us. Thence, as a representative body comprising medical students and junior doctors across seven countries, we aim to raise awareness and affect changes at the level of policymaking, calling upon relevant and important stakeholders, addressing this ever-pressing issue in our healthcare system.
Our policy document has been meticulously crafted as our first steps to affecting big leaps and ripples in our effort to connect, educate, and cultivate leaders who would rise to challenge the current system and shape this new decade of ours.
