Vice Dean IV
Dr. dr. Rachmat Faisal Syamsu, M.Kes, CIP,FISPH, FISCM
As Vice Dean IV, Dr Rachmat Faisal Syamsu leads with renewed dedication to embed the Islamic worldview and dakwah mission into every facet of the Faculty’s life. Under his stewardship, FK-UMI reaffirms its commitment to produce not only doctors of high clinical and scientific competence, but above all Muslim doctors whose knowledge is applied in action (berilmu amaliah), whose deeds reflect scientific learning (beramal ilmiah), and whose character shines with noble morals and ethics (berakhlakul karimah).
Dr Rachmat promotes a holistic educational paradigm where medical training is harmonized with spiritual development and community service. He ensures that the curriculum, the clinical training, the research agenda and the community engagement programmes consistently reflect the values of compassion, integrity and accountability rooted in the Islamic tradition. He champions the idea that every FK-UMI graduate must serve not only as a competent clinician but also as a bearer of ethical leadership, a contributor to public health, and an ambassador of faith-based professionalism.
In his tenure, FK-UMI’s programmes of cooperation with hospitals, community health centres and international partners have expanded, with a focus on reinforcing the identity of the Muslim medical professional who is ready to meet global challenges with moral strength, scientific excellence and a spirit of service. Under Dr Rachmat’s guidance, FK-UMI continues to move toward its vision of a world-class Islamic medical faculty — moulding doctors who heal with skill, lead with character, and live by faith.
