DEPARTMENT PROFILE

Department of Anatomical Pathology was established in 1952, chaired by dr. M. Bambang Soetarso. At that time, the department was still merged with the Department of Legal Medicine, led by dr. M. Bambang Soetarso and dr. Moch. Saleh. These two departments were the separated in 1954, but still located in the same building in Mangkubumen. Three years later, the departments were moved to Pugeran Hospital and situated in a multi-floor building. This department was located in the ground floor and the second floorwas partly used for practical session and museum. Along with the relocation of Faculty of Medicine, in June 1983 the Department of Anatomical Pathology was moved to Sekip and placed into a new twostorey building. After the construction of Radiopoetro Building was finished in 2004, the department was relocated once more to this new building andlocated on the fourth floor. As a tribute for his major contribution in science, the name of Prof. dr. M. Bambang Soetarso is used as the name of a lecture room in the second flood of the Auditorium building.

Many achievements have been obtained for the last 70 years. The first cancer registry in Indonesia was pioneered by dr. Soeripto by doing populationbased registry in Srandakan, Bantul, in 1980-1983. The department also sent some staff abroad to upgrade their knowledge and skills in specific fields. dr. Harijadi took a short course on nasopharyngeal cancer in The Netherlands and France. Dr. FX Ediati Triningsih took clinical autopsy courses in Singapore, insitu hybridization course in England, and hygiene and tropical medicine in Japan. In 1977, dr. Prijono Tirto Projo took fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) course in Antonie van Leeuwenhoek University and Leiden University, The Netherlands. In 1985, dr. Totok Utoro, obtained his DMed Sci degree from Kobe University, Japan. The knowledge and skills obtained abroad were expanded continuously into routine and semi-routine procedures in providing service and research.

Nowadays, the Department of Anatomical Pathology has become one of centers of excellencein pathological diagnosis, education, and research in Indonesia. Along with the innovation from histomorphology era to molecular-genetic era, the department always keeps up and takes part in scientific development of medical technology. In pathological diagnosis, the department  provides many molecular-genetic tests using immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization (ISH), conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and real-time PCR technique, other than routine procedures for histomorphology and cytomorphology. In 2015, the department has become one of centers of excellence inimmunohistochemical examination in Indonesia.

Despite actively participating in graduate student program, the department also offers education program to become anatomical pathology specialist and subspecialist. The department currently nurtures 19 residency doctors. That number increases steadily by year. The department also provides training for anatomical pathology laboratory analysts from other regions in Indonesia.

For researchers from other institutions, we provide services, such as paraffin block making, routine HE staining, histochemical staining, immunohistochemical staining, PCR, and result interpretation. In order to improve diagnostic services, education, and research, the department develops international collaborations. Currently, the department is collaborating with Kobe University, Kyoto University, Hyogo University Japan, and Universitair Medish Centrum Groningen, The Netherlands for joint research and knowledge-technology transfer.

Department of Anatomy (previously called the Department of Anatomy, Embryology and Anthropology) was established in 1946 in Klaten and chaired by Prof Drs R. Radiopoetro. In 1949, the Department of Anatomy was moved to Mangkubumen and in 1980, the department moved once again to a new integrated campus in Sekip.

This department has a long journey in “Tri Dharma” which consists of education, research and public service. In education, Anatomy as a main basic science in medicine plays an important role in the development of curriculum and learning method. In the old days, students had the opportunity to do cadaver dissection in cadaver. Nowadays, prosection method is applied in teaching anatomy. Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) give influence in driving innovation in Anatomy. Almost all academic staff always contribute to curriculum development and become Block Coordinator Team in this PBL era.Basic anatomy is given for the first year student,continued with clinically oriented anatomy approach for the second and third year medical student.This department also produces many learning resources such as books, atlas, mannequin and replicas. Beyond Universitas Gadjah Mada, the Department of Anatomy also pioneers innovation in learning-teaching system in other Faculties of medicine in Indonesia, such as as in the University of Hasanuddin, University of Sriwijaya, University of Diponegoro, Universitas Negeri Surakarta, University of Syah Kuala, and University of Lambung Mangkurat, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Indonesian Islamic University and University of Tadulako. This department also contributes to postgraduate and and clinical specialist education, such as in neurology, oral surgery, forensic, obstetrics and gynecology, earnose-throat, and surgery.

Department of Anatomy has been internationally recognized as a research center in Anthropology, especially with the presence of Biopaleoanthropology laboratory led by Prof. dr. T. Jacob. Other faculty members, such as Prof. Soemijati Ahmad, dr Rismanto, dr Suryadi, dr Mansyur Romi conducted embryology and genetic research. Prof Soedjono Aswin established neuroanatomy and neuroscience research which is now continued by Dr Dwi Cahyani Ratna Sari. Prof Soebijanto, Dr. A. Pratiknya and Dr Djoko Prakosa established macroanatomy science, continued by dr. Dwi Yatmo and dr Santosa Budiharjo. Dr Djoko Prakosa was pioneering the development of Bengkel Anatomy to provide medical learning resources in the application of anatomy science. Recently, Molecular medicine, translationalresearch and clinically applied anatomy are being conducted at Department of Anatomy, initiated by the younger staff such as, dr Arfian, dr Junaedy, dr.Dian Prasetyo and dr Yana. Translational research and molecular medicine also become essential development in anatomy research. Development of disease model based on anatomical science combined with molecular approach poses a great challenge to improve research in Anatomy department, Faculty of Medicine.

Community service activities are carried out through implementation in fitness and renal health awareness programs, anatomy museum exhibition, health counseling and promotion, and collaboration with other professional and non-government organizations.

To achieve this, our mission are to offer innovative specialist education in Anesthesia and professional guidance for the anesthesist to produce quality human resources, to maintain the quality outcome of anesthesiologist through an educational process that fits to the national curriculum standards, to promote community service in the form of training and consultancy to meet the health needs of the community, to develop curriculum together with all centers of Anesthesia Education in Indonesia based on the development of science and technology, and to develop research. Currently we have eight divisions in the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, including Intensive Care, Neuroanesthesia, Pediatric Anesthesia, Obstetric Anesthesia, Regional Anesthesia, Pain Management, Emergency and Cardiovascular Anesthesia. Over the last six years five staff have completed their doctoral degree, in the field of neuroanesthesia, obstetric anesthesia and cardiovascular isease.Our center has been appointed as a Center of Obstetric Anesthesia for consultant education program, has now entered the second year. Starting from a hospital-based program, now the program is moving toward a university based education program.

The cardiovascular team has been developed since twenty years ago. In cooperation with the National Hospital Heart Center Harapan Kita in Jakarta, currently our cardiovascular surgical team (consisting of Dr., Ngurah Artika SpAn, KAKV, Dr. Yudo Bhirowo Pratomo, SpAn, KAKV and Dr. Junikurniawati SpAn has been able to carry out cardiac surgery, with tencases per year. The number of patients continues to increase by year.

Pediatric Anesthesia team who worked with the pediatric surgery team was pioneered by Dr. Muhdar Abubakar SpAn, KAP. Currently two pediatric anesthesia consultant joined this team, i.e. Dr. Djajantisari SpAn, KAP and Dr. Yunita Widyastuti SpAn, KAP, PhD. The team has experienced successful surgery for separating conjoined twins several times. The most recent surgery was the liver transplant in cooperation with Kyoto University Hospital, Japan. This team continues to grow. Anesthesia Department is very concerned on patient safety. As a commitment, in collaboration with the Yogyakarta branch of Indonesian Society of Anesthesiologists and Intensive Therapy , a symposium and workshop on complications of anesthesia (SOAC) was offered starting in 2011. With better knowledge and understanding the complications of anesthesia, complications can be minimized and anticipated. The symposium is conducted annualy to attract increased number of participants. In 2013 in conjunction with the 3rd Symposium of Anesthesia Complications, our Journal of Anesthesia Complications has been launched. The journal has been published three times per year, mainly contains the results of research conducted at the Anesthesiology Department. In 2016, the journal started to publish its online version.

The Family, Community Medicine and Bioethics (DFCMB) is a new department at the Faculty of Medicine UGM, which was established in 2016. The department has two professors, one doctorate staff, three academic staff with masters in Primary Care and many adjunct faculty members from the clinical departments. The department was initiated in late 90’s when graduate courses in primary care medicine organised by the Association of Family Doctor Indonesia begun, continued with activities led by Prof Adi Heru Sutomo under the Health Professional Education Quality (HPEQ) Project in 2012. In this project, Prof. Michael Kidd (President, WONCA World Family Doctors’ Association) and the Dean of Flinders University Australia provided technical assistance.

The DFCMB, known as the Family MedicineTeam, started a graduate courses in primary care medicine called the Weekly Clinical Updates on
Primary Care, since 2011. This graduate course has been conducted in Yogyakarta and DKI Jakarta in collaboration with the local governments. The final session of this course became the Annual Conference which was also attended by Prof. Mark Alan Graber, Prof. Jason Wilbur and Prof. Lisa Soldat from the Iowa University.

Continuing our efforts to strengthen primary care education, in 2013 we initiated the Master program in Family Medicine, as a majoring in Clinical Medicine study program. Currently, more than 50 students are enrolled.In the future, we hope to be able to offer a specialization program in Family Medicine. Within its journey, the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities (CBMH) enliven the DFCMB. The Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities (CBMH) history started in 1997 as Bioethics and Medical Humanities Team led by Prof. Dr(HC). dr.Yati Soenarto, SpA(K), PhD. The team aimed to improve moral, ethical, and behavioral aspect of the medical students.The initial strategy was involving interdisciplinary experts, i.e. medicine, philosophy, psychology, social-humanities, civic, law, religion, which soon transformed into what the center is currently promoting, a trans-disciplinary approach.

In its further development, the center has evolved into an innovative and productive center with main vision “to improve bioethics and medical humanities education, research, and service in order to create highly qualified moral and humane practitioners”. The center aspires to achieve through itsmissions in education, research and service. The center has made significant international contributions on bioethics development, through hosting international conferences, trainings, collaborative projects and research. We encourage and empower Asia-Pacific Innitiatives in enriching bioethics development in this global society. In line with that spirit, the center was appointed as the leading coordinator for the International Consortium on Bioethics and Humanities, which hosts the Asia-Pacific (Trans-nations) bioethics collaboration (initiator countries are Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Australia).

Story Behind The Picture

The Department of Forensic Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine UGM-RSUP DR Sardjito in collaboration with Regional DVI team from West Java, Yogyakarta, Police-Medical Team and Australia’s DVI Team identified 21 victims of Garuda plane crash in 2007.
A good team work resulted in fast and accurate identification process. Only within three days, all victims were successfully identified. This effort was appreciated by the Indonesian and Australian government as a good example of an effective and accurate DVI team work.

The Department of Forensic Medicine and Medicolegal was established in 1952, with the name Mediciana Forensic. Our department has delivered residency program in Forensic Medicine since 1977. Supported by 13 staf, currently our department is still continuously developing in the developing for a better education and practice excellence. Science is dynamic. In the future, we hope to be able to develop further competence in the field of Biomolecular Forensic. With only one PhD in Biomolecular Forensic, the Department needs to attract more academics with this background. In addition, expertise in law will also improve the capacity of the department to keep up with the Medicolegal issues.

Department of Nutrition and Health, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) was officially established in 2013, although the undergraduate degree in Nutrition and Health started since 2003. Our vision is to become an internationally recognized center of education, research and community service which places great emphasis on professionalism in preparing human resources that uphold moral values and pledge integrity on national interest.

We strive to be an excellent academic institution in the field of nutrition and health that recognizes local potential while continues to achieve international standards. In doing so, we focus on at least several areas including fostering international collaboration for research and human resource development, as well as strengthening our research in utilizing local food source to tackle malnutrition problems.

Currently we have built international collaborations, such as with Flinders University (Australia), Universiti Sains Malaysia (Malaysia), Taipei Medical University (Taiwan), and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Malaysia). With Flinders University, we collaborate with the School of Health Sciences for visiting lectures. We have a long collaboration with School of Health Science at University Sains Malaysia through hosting the annual International Symposium of Healthy Lifestyle and Nutrition (ISWHLN) which is hosted in different countries each year. Recently,we have also been collaborating with Taipei Medical University (TMU), Taiwan for an on-going annual event attracting practicing dieticians and academics interested in updating their knowledge in current practice of dietetics. In addition to strengthening our international collaboration, we have also strengthened our national collaboration through various events, such as organizing annual short course programs dieticians and academics in Indonesia.

All our national and international collaborations are essentially keys to strengthen our research and human resource development to answer local, national and international issues in nutrition and health. In addition, we also focus on research in utilizing local food sources for solving current issues in nutrition (functional foods and neutraceutical). We also strive to solve local and national issues as our
first priority.

Because Universitas Gadjah Mada is a research university, research is a pivotal part of education system in our undergraduate school. Research in our school is aimed to solve problems in our region and used as a basis of evidence based nutrition that is developed in our faculty. We develop five divisions for scientific development. Clinical nutrition, community nutrition and food service management are the backbone research in our school because those are principal competencies of dieticians. Additionally, we also develop research in functional food and molecular nutrition to support the development of science on the role of nutrition on human health.

Between 18th century and 19th century, scientists had combined research and action in social behaviour and environmental health. This integration proved to be strategic in explaining and finding solutions for health problems. The importance of social determinants of healthand how it affected health and environmental status was increasingly recognized in early 20th century. This indicated that interdisciplinary approach was needed to tackle health problems. The increased incidence of behavioural-related health problems also showed that social approach is needed in public health intervention. It is clear that the health status of the society is determined by many factors, such as behavior, environment and health.In Faculty of Medicine, studies related to health behavior, environmental health and social determinants of health had been developed since 1992. In 2008, the environmental health division was merged into the public health program department, followed by the occupational health division in 2014.

Department of Health Behaviour, Environmental Health and Social Medicine (HBESM) was established in 2014 with the mission to improve internationally recognized education, research and community service in health behaviour, environmental health and social medicine. Our educational mission is to educate scholars with in-depth knowledge on health behaviour, environmental health and social medicine, and to equip them with the capability in assessing behaviour and social needs related to health and environmental problems; and capability in planning, implementing and evaluating public health programs that encompass health behaviour and environmental health and social medicine components.

The Department of HBESM also provides community services, for example consultancy, training, seminars, and community education activities. Community service aims to deliver intervention to help improving community health, especially those related to health behaviour,environmental health and social medicine. In addition, intervention which engages community empowerment also allows the Department of HBESM to translate theory and research into practice.

Research on health behaviour and promotion, environmental health and occupational health continuously evolve with the growing needs of the society. Research in the Department encompasses  communicable disease, non-communicable disease, tobacco control, community empowerment, advocacy, climate change, environmental management system, environmental health risk analysis and occupational health. Department HBESM has established collaboration with local and international institutions, such as the local and national health ministry, World Bank, ILO, Family Planning board, ILO, IDRC, RITC, GTTEC, NIH, WHO, CDC, etc. With 20 years of experience in research and practices in health behaviour and environmental health, Department of HBESM enthusiastically embraces the integration of health behaviour, environmental health and social medicine approach to answer the global demands of health problems and promote effective interventions.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Obsgyn) was established in March 5th 1946 in Klaten. At that time the school was named Perguruan Tinggi Kedokteran. When the school moved to Yogyakarta, the Department of Obstetrics was one of the pioneers. Therefore, we have been conducting teaching and practice excellence for 70 years.

Many key milestones have been achieved. Currently, the Department of Obgyn has five divisions: Maternal Fetal Medicine, Fertility, Endocrinology and Reproduction (FER), Social Obstetrics, Gynecology Oncology, and Urogynecology& Reconstructive Surgery. Since 2005, Department of Obgyn has also been able to provide subspecialty training in FER, followed by the subspecialty training in Social Obstetrics since 2010. To fulfill our commitment to improve quality of education, one of our strategies is to collaborate with international education center for Obstetrics and Gynecology, such as the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (RCOG) since 2012. Our curriculum is designed in modules following the standard from the Indonesian Obstetrics and Gynecology Society and RCOG. We hope that these efforts will also result in improved quality of care.

Service and teaching activities in the division of Maternal Fetal Medicine and FER are mainly located in Gedung Bedah Sentral Terpadu (GBST) since 2002. The center for Fertility (Klinik Permata Hati) firstly conducted in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 1997, and currently becomes one of the best fertility center in Indonesia. Our commitment to excellence in teaching and medical service is supported by research.Therefore, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Research Unit (ORU) plays an important role to support the research system in this department. In 2012-2015 ORU and the Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics Unit became the leading research institution that held Cochrane systematic reviews in Indonesia.

We now have in total 54 academic staff dedicated in teaching, service and research, including five Full Professors, four PhDs, 20 consultants, and five specialists in Sardjito-Faculty of Medicine UGM, and also another 25 Specialists in our affiliated hospitals. With adequate number of staff, the ratio of teacher:residents is now ideal, 1:1.87.

Story Behind The Picture

The Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada commits to deliver the best practice in the health surgery care.In collaboration with other departments particularly the  Department of Pediatric, we  recently have successfully performed the first liver transplant at Dr Sardjito hospital.

Department of Surgery Universitas Gadjah Mada has been established in 1949 in the same year with the establishment of Universitas Gadjah Mada. In 1950, Department of Surgery has initiated teaching activities for two students, carried out by Prof.dr. Moch Salim. Since its establishment, the Department of Surgery has grown rapidly during the past few years. The Department of Surgery has emerged as one of the most prominent surgical training program in Indonesia offering extensive programs of specialization and sub-specialization including in Digestive Surgery, Oncology Surgery, Orthopedic and Traumatology, Pediatric Surgery, Neurosurgery, Urology, Thorax and Vascular Surgery, and Plastic Surgery. Residency training programs are coordinated within several subdivision including General Surgery, Orthopedics, Urology, Neurosurgery, and Pediatric Surgery. The Department of Surgery continues to excel and make major contributions to the University and Indonesia.

A significant contribution was also made by this Department in the disaster management since 1990. We actively participated during tsunami in Aceh in 2004, Yogyakarta earthquake in 2006, Merapi eruption in 1994, 2006 and 2010, as well as other national disasters. In addition to deliver excellent care to patients, we have also contributed to the rapidly changing healthcare system in Indonesia.

The recent advance in 2015 was the first successful liver transplant performed at Dr.Sardjito Hospital. We also offer great quality of teaching for both MD and residency. Our residency program is one of the most competitive in Indonesia. Most of these residencies are filled with top rank applicants. The first two years of training in surgery is elaborated as Surgical Foundation with lecture preparation and basic skill development to prepare for national exam for basic surgery. In the national level, our residents have shown their quality. In the national exam for general surgery in 2015, our resident has achieved the best score among other participants. In 2014, we received award as the best oral presentation in Indonesian College of Surgeons meeting in Bali and the following year in 2015, two orthopedics residents have been selected as the best and the third best oral presenters at the national orthopedic meeting in Bandung. The academic year 2015 has been very busy and productive for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Annual seminar by Subdivision Orthopedics has been very successful with significant participants from general practitioners as well as potential orthopedic resident. Surgery training for MD students as compulsory program has been excelled with help from regional hospitals and elective program in 2015 has been successfully completed by some international students from the Netherlands, Germany, South Africa, and Canada.

The Department of Surgery also endorses multidisciplinary care in collaboration with heart, vascular, digestive health care, transplantation, and oncology that can promote greater collaboration among specialists across disciplines and departments.
