sekolah gw tercinta di amerika

ah, pengalaman hidup yang menyenangkan dan takkan terlupakan seumur hidup gw tentunya.




Mimpi gw dari sejak gw kecil, well sejak SMP kali ya, pengen sekolah di luar negeri, gak sembarang luar negeri, pengennya di Amerika. Jelas dan mantap. Sayangnya namanya juga anak di bawah tempurung, kagak ngerti kalau sekolah di luar negeri itu mahal. Jadi waktu minta disekolahin ke luar negeri, cuma dijawab, pokoknya enggak sekarang yaaaa....

Then one day, bokap gw tercinta, mengeluarkan pengumuman kalau nilai gw bagus semester itu, gw boleh melirik keadaan di Amerika. Meaning, kalau gw rangking 1, boleh deh dikirim ke Amerika menjenguk saudara sepupu gw yg lumayan dah agak lama menetap di sana. Thanks God, dikasih euy. Makin ngejenguk, makin jatuh cinta lah ya sama sekolah di Amerika. There is something that I cannot really explain. It was just a great feeling imagining it. Hampir gw ga mau pulang dari Amerika, sangking naksirnya ma Amerika. Sampai-sampai bolos beberapa minggu setelah sekolah dah mulai. Cita-cita tetap cita-cita.

Sayangnya tiba-tiba krisis ekonomi gila-gilaan, dollar amerika yang tadinya pas gw visitasi pertama itu cuma gak nyampe 2000 per dollar, tiba tiba jadi 16 ribu. Hueks dah. Bokap dengan manisnya bilang, kamu sekolah dulu lah yang baik di Indonesia, S1 yang baik, entar S2 nya aja ke Amerika. Oke?

:) Dulu sih gak pernah ngerti kalau bokap n nyokap menabung demikian rupa, ikut asuransi pendidikan supaya ni anak pemimpi bisa sekolah ke Amerika hehehe.

Pucuk dicinta ulam tiba, setelah selesai S1, selesai juga sekolah keprofesian, angkat sumpah, dan mulai kerja. Mulai deh bokap bertanya dengan detail, "what is it you want to pursue?". Then my school hunting begun. FUN. Amazing how God led all the way to whatever it was.

Long story, there were my advisor, Bu Tri, Bu Yulia, both affecting my life so much. Mereka lah yang mengarahkan gw untuk dapat menentukan pilihan gw, bahkan bu Yulia memanfaatkan koneksinya untuk ngebantuin gw caranya nyari sekolah di Amerika. Berhubung yang gw mau sangat spesifik dan sedikit sekali sekolah yang punya jurusan yang gw suka.

Sambil jalan urusan milih sekolah, jalan juga nyiapin semua dokumen buat ngedaftar. Termasuk les TOEFL sama les GRE. Yang sangat susah nyari les GRE, secara di Indonesia kebanyakan orang maunya sekolah MBA, jadinya GMAT yg banyak banget isinya. Usaha yang luar biasa yang jelas jelas kalau bukan Tuhan yang berkehendak, kayanya gak mungkin deh dapet. Serunya, dapet temen notabene jadi salah satu sahabat gw sampai sekarang. Tes tes harus dilewatin, menerjemahkan semua dokumen, belon lagi buat essay, dan minta rekomendasi dari dosen. Wuah, mendatangi satu satu dosen yang gw kira kira mau nulis bagus tentang gw hihihihihi. Akhirnya mendaftar lah gw ke : University of Mississipi, Long Island University, dan St John University. 2 terakhir itu adanya di New York, sementara yang pertama ya adanya di Mississipi. Kenapa gw pengen banget ke pilihan pertama gw itu karena si Mickey Smith, dewa nya pharmaceutical marketing, ngajar di situ. Oya, biarpun ada Harvard, MIT, New York University, gak gentar gw, bukannya gw kalau daftar belum tentu gak diterima ya, tapi mereka kagak punya farmasi! Hahahahahaha - Just Kidding...
Sambil menikmati dunia kerja gw, dan dunia sosialisasi gw, (tiap abis kerja keluyuran kalao gak sama sahabat gw, sama sepupu sepupu gw yg juga baru mulai kerja), gak kerasa lewat beberapa waktu, sampai surat penolakan yang pertama dateng. University of Mississipi memberi surat penolakan yang panjang kali lebar, termasuk kurangnya pengalaman kerja gw yg katanya jadi hurdle. Bete dan sedih. Serem juga mengingat, andalan sekarang tinggal sekolah yang di new york, di mana profesor2 yang jadi tempat gw konsultasi dulu sangat nakut nakutin akan biaya dan kerasnya tu kota.

Dua-duanya terima gw. :) Bener-bener murni kerjanya Tuhan deh. Gw bengong juga pas terima surat penerimaan. Bareng ma bokap, milih milah milih milah milih milah milih, ngitang ngitung ngitang ngitung, kita putusin milih Long Island University. Dan registrasi ulang pun berlanjut hingga sekolah mulai.

Cinta banget liat kampus tua nya sekolah gw. Kampus gw bukan pusatnya, sekolah gw pusatnya di Brookville, Long Island beneran. Yang guede banget kaya kampus gw di depok lah. Nah yang kalau farmasi tapinya di kampus yang di Brooklyn. Downtown Brooklyn tempatnya, sepelemparan batu dari Manhattan. Jatuh cinta deh pokoknya ma kampus gw. Belon lagi persis di depan dorm gw, gedung untuk pagelaran dance sekalian jadi studio nya anak jurusan dance. Belon lagi gw bisa make piano di ruangan jurusan musik, piano pada di taro di ruang ruang kecil kedap suara. Dorm gw juga keren banget, penuh juga dengan anak anak yang baru kuliah, gw serasa muda lagi hahahaha. Cinta lah gw sama kampus gw.

Tambah cinta pas sekolah dah mulai. Ruang kelasnya canggih abis. Dosennya pada keren keren abis, ya iyalah mereka kan pada praktisi beneran, pusat farmasi di amerika kan di new york dan new jersey, gile juga Tuhan punya plan. Gw jadi mensyukuri gak diterima di Mississippi itu. Ternyata, what God had in store was even better :p. Berhubung Tuhan bermurah hati ma gw waktu gw tebak tebak berhadiah ngisi GRE gw (terutama bagian : words - gilaaaaa dehhh), dan lainnya, gw ga usah matrikulasi, ah senangnya, hemat biaya cuy.

Bokap dah bilang, kalau bisa setelah 1 semester atau 1 tahun cari kerja supaya bisa ngebantuin biaya sekolahnya yang gila gilaan mahalnya, waktu itu seharga rumah yang dijual di sebelah rumah kami di Jakarta. Semester pertama konsentrasi penuh ya, nasihatnya. Siipp.. Secara dah cita cita ya, seneng lah belajar, hahahaha. Sampai pas pas akhir semester pertama, lagi iseng ke kantor mau ambil pilihak kelas untuk smeester berikutnya, sang sekretaris yang baik hati nanyain, "gak ikutan ngelamar jadi asisten dosen?" sambil menunjuk antrian panjang orang di depannya. Setengah gak ngerti, dijelasin lah sama dia, trus dia bilang, kalau nilai kamu bagus, kamu boleh daftar, bentar gw liatin nilai lo. Dan dia pun mengecek nilai gw (yg gw sendiri belon dapet kesemua nilai gw). "Hey, you're doing so great! Apply! Here is the application!" dan dia kasih gw form nya.

Deg deg an. Waktu ditelpon disuruh wawancara. Lolos 2 tahap sudah. Nah lho yg ngewawancarain dosen dosen muka galak pula, alamak... Ditanyain A sampai Z, sampai cita-cita segala. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh pada baek, gw dilolosin, masuk ujian praktek (dites kemampuan komputer), fiuhhhhhh akhirnya dapet. Bentar, emangnya dapet apaan ya kalau kerja jadi asisten dosen?

US$ 25,000 uang sekolah gw, dibebaskan! Kagak bayar uang sekolah, uang daftar ulang, uang uangan dah. Masih lagi gw dikasih uang tiap bulan $ 500! Gila cuyyyyy... Langsung telpon bokap, sambil teriak teriak kegirangan sambil kaget kaget. :D

Satu semester kerja jadi asisten dosen, tambah cinta ma sekolah gw. Menyenangkan sekali ternyata jadi dosen. Belajar terus, meneliti terus, nambah ilmu terus, dan ngebagiin ilmu. Seru ah. One time yang berbekas adalah, saat Bos kepala kantor gw tanya, kok bisa gw milih LIU jadi kampus gw, dan cerita pun mengalir. Gila bener bangga bener gw, saat dia angkat telpon, nelpon Mickey Smith dan bilang "Hi Micky? How are you? Lunch time, right? Remember last time at the congress, I told you about our TA here? One of them, Joice, katanya waktu itu nge aplly ke tempat kamu! .... ya.. and kamu nolak dia, she received rejection letter. .... Thank you! Hahahaha.. Seriously, I thank you, sekarang dia kerja sama aku, wow menyenangkan sekali of having her here! Bangga gw sama dia... bla bla bla "
Itu kali yang namanya Tuhan lagi sayang banget ma gw ya, kaya disirem aer dingin :p

Sampai akhir masa sekolah pun, semua menyenangkan sekali, walaupun gw milih thesis daripada ujian komprehensif tertulis doang, which is tentu aja beda banget perjuangannya! Tapi gw ga nyesel sama sekali, nyenengin banget. Too bad it had to end. Tapi memorinya mah, unperishable. Never. Pengalaman hidup hampir 3 tahun di sana, mengubah gw, mengubah semua aspek hidup gw. Cinta gw ma sekolah gw dan kehidupan gw pas lagi sekolah. I will be back, at least for a visit. Love you LIU!

Teaching Interests/Experience
I believe students learn through identifying and understanding problems and working to find solutions, using principles from within and outside their outside their academic discipline. I believe teaching is most effective when the instructional methods and materials emanate from and match ways students learn. This includes being actively engaged, creating new knowledge through using resources to find information, thinking, talking and writing about new ideas to learn them, relating new ideas to what they already know, forming structures of knowledge by showing relationships among information through and then presenting their newly created knowledge and getting feedback.
Research Interests/Current Projects
I am currently designing an instructional package for pharmacy students to learn how to create, evaluate, and use written patient education materials with patients to help them read, understand, and use the materials to improve their medication taking behavior and subsequent health.
Key Expertise
Health literacy: design interventions that have an impact on patients’ knowledge, attitude, beliefs, values, decisions, subsequent behavior to maximize their health and medication use

Teaching and Research Interests
I have taught entry- level pharmacy courses in Social and Behavioral Aspects of Pharmaceutical Care, Communications Skills in Pharmacy Practice, and Pharmacy Practice Management. The communications skills course has been my primary teaching focus for last several years. This course has been transformed into a writing intensive course where students learn course material through the writing process. In addition, it is a practical skills acquisition course where students (in laboratory) learn both basic and advanced patient counseling/communication skills through videotaped patient counseling sessions using standardized patients. In our graduate program I teach Behavioral Pharmacy and Seminar in Social and Administrative Pharmacy. My research has focused on examining how and under what conditions empathy is learned and developed in pharmacy education and practice. Research supports the fact that empathy and other caring behaviors are largely socially mediated. Therefore, my efforts thus far have focused on examining the social and psychological factors which appear to facilitate empathic learning and development in pharmacists and pharmacy students. Most recently I have been working on developing a schema which may explain how empathy is socially learned and developed in experienced community pharmacists.
In addition to exploring empathic development in pharmacists, I have also been involved in research dealing with low health literate patients. Health literacy is the ability to read, understand and act upon health related information. Low health literacy is a major problem in the United States affecting upwards of 25% of the population. Many health disparities can be reduced or eliminated if patients are screened for health literacy. Currently I am collaborating with colleagues from both LIU and Columbia University School of Medicine examining, among other factors, the effect(s) of low literacy on treatment related decision making in minority patients with advanced prostate cancer.
