"I would like to convey my gratitude to the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh for awarding me the Myre Sim Fund Bursary to reduce my finance burden on registration fee and accommodation in Malaysia. This bursary has served the purpose of its objectives to support an educational mission of an undergraduate student to enhance new learning experience and conduct a small-scale clinical research project in a developing country."
