AMSEPASIAN MEDICAL STUDENTS’EXCHANGE // PROGRAM

AMSA-INDONESIA

Foreword // Regional Chairperson of AMSA-Indonesia

Dear people of tomorrow,

As a medical student body, our vision reflects the very essence of AMSA that lies within the core philosophies: Knowledge, Action, and Friendship. In Knowledge, we open our eyes and broaden our knowledge to the global medical issues. In Action, we empower the role of medical students for community benefits while also aiming for increasing their health quality. The last, in Friendship, we enthusiastically strengthen and expand our network by building a vast familial environment. They all coalesce into a rigid foundation serving as the basis for our activities.

Professionalism based on familial environment is our principle. Furthermore, in order to increase our professionalism and bolster our position as an international organization, we are currently improving our international-standard organization skills.

Since the beginning, AMSA-Indonesia has been actively participating in plethora of national and international events. Our contribution shows a tremendous amount of passion to give positive impacts to the members, the societies, the nations, and other chapters under the membership of AMSA-International. The embodiment of this passion resulted in the Shave for Hope event, when MURI (Museum Rekor Indonesia) recorded AMSA-Indonesia thriving on producing the biggest donation towards YPKAI (Yayasan Pita Kuning Anak Indonesia) by cutting hair to help children who suffered from cancer. We are expecting to give more positive impact to the society in the near future.

I wish this booklet would give you the information needed in regard to AMSEP Indonesia. Please feel free to contact the respective person or myself if you urge to acknowledge any further information.

Thank you,

Garda Widhi NurragaThird Year, Faculty of Medicine – Diponegoro UniversityRegional Chairperson of AMSA-Indonesia 2013/2014

REPUBLIC // of Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago with more than 17.500 islands. There are around 300 distinct native ethnic groups in Indonesia, and 742 different languages and dialects. Most Indonesians are descended from Austronesian-speaking peoples whose languages can be traced to Proto-Austronesian (PAn), which possibly originated in Taiwan. Another major grouping are Melanesians, who inhabit eastern Indonesia. The largest ethnic group is the Javanese, who comprise 42% of the population, and are politically and culturally dominant. The Sundanese, ethnic Malays, and Madurese are the largest non-Javanese groups. A sense of Indonesian nationhood exists alongside strong regional identities.

Indonesia has about 300 ethnic groups, each with cultural identities developed over centuries, and influenced by Indian, Arabic, Chinese, and European sources. Traditional Javanese and Balinese dances, for example, contain aspects of Hindu culture and mythology, as do wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performances. Textiles such as batik, ikat, ulos and songket are created across Indonesia in styles that vary by region. The most dominant influences on Indonesian architecture have traditionally been Indian; however, Chinese, Arab, and European architectural influences have been significant.

Indonesian cuisine varies by region and is based on Chinese, European, Middle Eastern, and Indian precedents. Rice is the main staple food and is served with side dishes of meat and vegetables. Spices (notably chili), coconut milk, fish and chicken are fundamental ingredients. Indonesian traditional music includes gamelan and keroncong.

ADDITIONAL // Information

//VISAIndonesia allows visa free entry to the citizens of 15 countries. The nationals of these countries who are going on holiday, attending conventions or engaging in similar such activities are allowed to stay in Indonesia of up to 30 days without a visa. This type of visa cannot be extended, transferred or converted to any other kind of visa; nor can it be used as a working permit. Those visitors eligible under the visa waiver program have a visa issued at the Indonesian border checkpoints with that issuance subject to the discretion of the visa officer. The visa is not for employment and is not extendable. The citizens of the following countries are eligible: Brunei, Cambodia, Chile, Ecuador, Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region), Laos, Macau SAR (Special Administrative Region), Malaysia, Morocco, Myanmar, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam

Nationals of countries not listed above are required to apply for visas through the nearest Indonesian Embassy or consulate. Single-entry visas are valid for 60 days and fairly routine if pricy at US$50-100 depending on the individual country and prevailing exchange rates.

//CURRENCYIndonesia's currency is the Rupiah (IDR), abbreviated Rp. The largest banknote is the red Rp 100,000, which may only be US$10 but is still inconveniently large for most purchases. Next in the series are Rp 50,000 (blue), Rp 20,000 (green), Rp 10,000 (purple), Rp 5,000 (brown), Rp 2,000 (gray), Rp 1,000, Rp 500, Rp 200, and Rp 100. Many hotels quote rates in dollars, but all accept payment in Rupiah and many who quote in USD then seek to convert the billing into Rupiah for payment. If you pay any bill in Indonesia with a credit card it will be charged to your account in Rupiah, regardless of the currency you were quoted.

ATMs on the international Plus/Cirrus networks are common in all major Indonesian cities and tourist destinations, but may be harder to come by in the backblocks. Beware of withdrawal limits as low as Rp.500,000 (~US$55) per day in some machines. As a rule of thumb, machines loaded with Rp 50,000 denomination notes (there's a sticker on ATM often) do not dispense more than Rp 1,500,000 per transaction even in Jakarta. Those with Rp 100,000 notes can give more, up to Rp 3,000,000 (often CIMB, BII, some BRI machines, Commonwealth bank on Bali) at once. Note, however, that these notes can be harder to break, especially in rural non-tourist areas. Bank branches are generally happy to break large notes taken from their ATMs up into smaller ones at no charge.
