Important Notice – 41st Batch Students
Dear Students of the 41st Batch - Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna,
I am sharing the contents of the e-mail I from Dr. Irushi Ediriweera at the IRD, Colombo regarding the Global Engagement Partnership Fund.
The Global Engagement Partnership Fund is a project done in collaboration with King's College, London and the Institute of Research & Development, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
One
of the main objectives of this project is to adapt the "Time to
thrive" course to suit the Sri Lankan context.
This
course has been specially designed to help university students navigate the
challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic by helping students deal with
stress, build resilience and identify their best selves.
It is planned to carry out a pilot program with 15 students from different
universities in Sri Lanka.
Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if two 3rd year students from the Faculty of Medicine,
University of Ruhuna would participate in this pilot project.
Participants:
2 students - preferably 3rd or 4th year depending on the workload. (I have
excluded the 4th years as they are currently engaged in the 3rd
MBBS Part II Examination).
Benefits -
Opportunity to complete a course from King's College, London free of
charge.
Equip students with the necessary tools to deal with stress and build
resilience
Opportunity to participate in
future courses done in collaboration with King's College, London.
The
participants will get one week to complete the course and they will be given an
opportunity to give us their feedback on the course.
You
are invited to participate in this pilot project and, if interested, please
express your interest at your earliest to Dr. Irushi Ediriweera via e-mail icediriweera@gmail.com or Mobile 0712833068
Thank you.
Professor Ajith Nagahawatte
