Kuala Lumpur, 18 January 2008- A book written by Y.Bhg. Prof. Dato' Dr. Mohd. Roslani Bin Abdul Majid, Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at UCSI was launched on this date. The book entitled 'Changing The Mind-Set' encapsulates his experience as the pioneering father of problem-based learning in medical education in Malaysia. It chronicles Dato' Dr. Roslani's utilisation of his experiences in the first Medical Faculty in Malaysia (University of Malaya) and thereafter, as a staff in the second Malaysian Medical Faculty (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) which enabled him to set up the third Medical Faculty in Universiti Sains Malaysia. The book outlines his thoughts on the way forward for medical education in Malaysia.

UCSI's Chancellor, Tan Sri Datuk Panglima Dr. Abdul Rahman Arshad commended on Dr. Roslani's relentless efforts in promoting problem-based learning in medical education in Malaysia, which had revolutionised the medical education landscape and mindscape.

In his congratulatory message, the Director General of the Ministry of Health, Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Haji Mohd. Ismail Bin Merican said that the book will be an invaluable source of reference for the medical fraternity because it provided a model for the setting up of a medical school, while the congratulatory message from the Director General of the Ministry of Higher Education, Professor Dato' Dr. Hassan bin Said states that Dato' Dr. Roslani's sentiments with regards to medical education mirrored the national higher education policy objectives and aspirations.
