The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (FK UMSU) held its 41st Yudisium and physician oath-taking ceremony, celebrating the graduation of 76 students from the Doctor Profession Program. The solemn event was led by UMSU Rector, Prof. Dr. Agussani, MAP, on Friday (April 25) at the UMSU Auditorium, Jalan Muchtar Basri No. 3, Medan.
In his address, Prof. Dr. Agussani expressed his pride and appreciation for the achievements of the graduates. He highlighted that FK UMSU currently has one of the lowest numbers of exam retakers nationally, with an impressive 90% pass rate in the national medical competency exam (UKMPPD).
“Alhamdulillah, many of our graduates this year earned GPAs between 3.81 and a perfect 4.00. FK UMSU has the lowest number of retakers in Indonesia, and our UKMPPD success rate has reached 90%,” he stated.
“UMSU has never dropped below a 70% pass rate. From 2018 to 2025, we’ve produced 1,002 doctors who now serve across Indonesia and abroad,” added Prof. Agussani.
He reaffirmed UMSU’s ongoing commitment to producing not only academically competent but also morally upright and Islamic-oriented doctors. The university is also focused on aligning its medical faculty with global advancements in health sciences.
“We are currently developing a roadmap to upgrade our campus facilities and are pushing toward international accreditation for the Faculty of Medicine,” he said.
Prof. Agussani also announced that UMSU will host the 2027 Muhammadiyah Congress (Muktamar Muhammadiyah) and requested prayers from graduates and their families for the success of this major event.
Earlier in the ceremony, FK UMSU Dean, Dr. Siti Masliana, Sp.THT-KL(K), emphasized the faculty’s excellent performance, noting that only 8 out of 3,000 graduates needed to retake the national exam. She also addressed current challenges in the medical profession and urged alumni to uphold the university’s good name.
“The physician’s oath is based on the Hippocratic Oath. We hope every graduate maintains ethical conduct and respects their teachers, peers, and patients. This profession is a sacred trust that must be carried with dignity,” she stressed.
On behalf of the graduates, Dr. Indah Hadiyihidini expressed heartfelt gratitude to all lecturers and especially to the parents. “This journey has not been easy, and this success is thanks to everyone’s support,” she said with emotion.
UMSU also asked for continued prayers and support for the university’s planned facility expansion and preparations for the 2027 Congress. “We acknowledge there is still much to improve, but we remain committed to ongoing progress,” concluded Prof. Agussani.
The event was attended by UMSU Vice Rector II, Prof. Dr. Akrim, M.Pd; Director of Amri Tambunan Hospital; representatives from partner hospitals including RS Bhayangkara, RS Pringadi, and RS Haji; faculty leadership, lecturers, hospital partners, and the families of the graduates.
