HumasUPNVJ - Deputy Dean 1 of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Jakarta Veterans National Development University (UPNVJ) Taufik Maryusman, S.Gz, M.Pd, M.Gizi said that his party is targeting to increase accreditation for the Bachelor of Nursing Study Program and the Professional Nurse Study Program to become Superior accreditation .

"Previously, the two study programs had B accreditation. According to our internal measurements, the two study programs were able to achieve superior accreditation," said Taufik at the UPNVJ Fikes Campus, Limo, Depok, Tuesday (22/6/2021).

Based on the Regulation of the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) Number 1 of 2020 concerning the Accreditation Mechanism for Accreditation Carried Out by the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education, the accreditation rating for study programs and higher education institutions is no longer A, B, and C but Excellent, Excellent , Good, and Not Accredited.

On this occasion LAM PTKes is conducting an online field re-accreditation visitation of the UPNVJ Bachelor of Nursing Study Program and Professional Nurse Study Program. The field visit was carried out from Tuesday (22/6/2021) to Friday (25/6/2021).

Taufik said the Nursing Undergraduate Study Program and Professional Nurse Study Program had prepared many things, both material and non-material aspects, to be able to achieve an Excellent accreditation rating. From the material aspect, the two study programs try to fulfill the established facilities and infrastructure.

"From the non-material aspect, namely related to mastery of accreditation forms, we have formed a team to master the nine accreditation criteria," he said.

The nine accreditation criteria are vision, mission and strategy; governance, governance, and cooperation; student; human Resources; finance, facilities and infrastructure; education; study; community service; as well as the outcomes and achievements of Tridharma.

According to Taufik, the team that was formed was tasked with compiling forms according to the availability in the study program without having to extend from the form preparation mechanism.

If the Superior accreditation has passed, Taufik said the Bachelor of Nursing Study Program and the Professional Nurse Study Program are targeted to be able to achieve international accreditation.

"International accreditation is a target in the university's main performance index which is also revealed to be a faculty target," he explained.

Currently, the Bachelor of Nursing Study Program has 430 active students and the Professional Nurse Study Program has 67 active students.

In 2021, the two study programs are expected to be able to accept foreign students from student exchange programs through collaborations that have been established with universities abroad.

"Through the student exchange program, it is hoped that there will be foreign students studying at UPNVJ and our students studying abroad," he said.
