PCM will be ROYAL PCM

The MB of Perak said Sultan Azlan Shah, Sultan of Perak, who is also the Chancellor of Universiti Malaya (UM) had played a significant role in establishing a strategic alliance between the UM and PCM (Perak College of Medicine). A Bernama report said that "The Perak College of Medicine (PCM) would be given the "Royal" title in recognition of the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah's contribution towards the college's development."
There are big plans for PCM, which was only established some 4 years ago in 1999. The PCM was in its final stages of signing an agreement with Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UKL), a Mara-owned institution, to introduce twining programmes with its medical faculty. And the Star reported sunday that ::

"Once completed, he said, the college's graduates would receive their degrees in Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery issued by Universiti Kuala Lumpur."

In the meanwhile, the Bernama report said that ::

"Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Ghazali said Sultan Azlan who is the Chancellor of Universiti Malaya (UM) had played a significant role in establishing a strategic alliance between the university and PCM.
Students of PCM would now receive their degrees under the arrangement with UM."

Now which one of the instituitions of higher learning is going to award the MBBS degree to graduating medical students of PCM in the future? Or it is going to be Malaysia Boleh and we are going to have a medical doctor graduating from Royal PCM in the near future with 3 degrees, one each from Royal PCM, UM and UKL?

Whatever it is soon to be Royal PCM will be going places for the Perak MB also says PCM was negotiating with Harvard University’s Medical Faculty to send its professors as technical advisers at the college, will there also be a MD for the graduands? Royal PCM would definitely be the place to consider sending one's offsprings if they have inclinations for a future in the field of medicine.
