An outstanding intellectual event took place on November 6, 2023, from 09.00 to 15.00 WIB, at the FK Postgraduate Building, Dr Kariadi Hospital Education Complex. The “Psychoeducation at a Glance” guest lecture was attended by 50 students from the Doctor of Medicine and Health Sciences study program, and it served as a good opportunity for potential physicians to learn more about psychology and mental health education.

Mr Hari Setyowibowo, S.Psi., M.Psi., Ph.D., a psychoeducation specialist and lecturer at UNPAD’s Faculty of Psychology, impressed the audience with a highly educational and fascinating presentation. He not only gives in-depth knowledge of psychoeducation, but he also conveys the topic in an entertaining way.

This guest lecture was an interactive experience rather than a succession of repetitive lectures. Mr. Hari Setyowibowo used a group discussion and ice breaker approach to keep students active and involved. This keeps the ambiance lively and prevents monotony, allowing participants to feel more engaged in the learning process.

During the guest lecture, the Doctor of Medicine and Health students were delighted. They not only pay close attention, but they also actively participate in group conversations. Many of them thought the content offered was highly important to their study and that they needed to understand psychoeducation in the context of their dissertation.
