On September 3rd, the vibrant city of Ipoh was the stage for a significant event aimed at shaping the future of healthcare in Malaysia. The Business Development Division (BDD) of IJN College, in collaboration with the Human Capital Organization Department (HCOD) IJN, and Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Melayu Perak (MAIPk), hosted an intensive interview session for aspiring Patient Care Assistants (PCA) at the MAIPk headquarters.
A Pathway to a Rewarding Career in Healthcare

The collaboration between MAIPk and IJN College underscores a shared commitment to nurturing local talent and providing them with the skills and opportunities needed to succeed in the healthcare sector.
The PCA program is designed to equip students with the necessary knowledge and hands-on experience required to excel in patient care. Over the course of three months, students will undergo rigorous training that covers essential aspects of patient care, including communication skills, basic medical procedures, and patient safety protocols.
