The Local Professional Examination for the July 2021 period for PPDS I participants in the Surgical Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University was held smoothly on Thursday and Friday, June 10 - 11, 2021. The hard work and hard work of students over the past few years in undergoing the specialist education process surgeons had finally reached the point where they were faced with the Local Profession Examination. The Local Professional Examination as one of the requirements to be able to take the National Professional Examination was attended by 12 final-level candidates who have undergone all stages of surgical specialist education.

    The Local Professional Examination, which was held at the Department of Surgery, Medical Faculty UNUD/Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, was aimed at assessing the scientific reasoning power of students in identifying and overcoming problems with diseases or disorders of surgical patients. In this exam, the questions are not recall questions, but are questions related to understanding and applying surgical knowledge and skills, as well as analyzing and solving patient problems to establish a diagnosis and determine the patient's surgical management. In this exam, students are assessed in terms of mindset, rational reasons for facing a problem and solutions that reflect the student's way of thinking in handling a case that is in accordance with the eligibility standards of a surgeon.

    Technically, the Local Professional Examination is divided into 2 parts, namely the exam for major cases (long case) which is held on the first day, and the exam for minor cases (short case) on the second day. The exam questions are adjusted to the standard and format of the national exam from the Indonesian Collegium of Surgery (KIBI) in the form of case simulations. Cases tested included cases of digestive surgery, oncology surgery, pediatric surgery, orthopedics, urology, trauma surgery, neurosurgery, thoracic-cardiovascular surgery, plastic surgery and vascular surgery.

    The success of this exam activity cannot be separated from the various roles of all the staff involved, both during the preparation period and during the exam implementation process. With the implementation of this exam, it is hoped that it can be a provision for students in facing the National Professional Examination which will be held in July and also in undergoing the profession as a surgeon in the future.
