The research determines the implementation pattern of CBT Public Health Science tutoring for the Doctoral Professional Program Student Competency Test (UKMPPD) for medical students at Cenderawasih University, Jayapura. A qualitative descriptive design involved 12 informants from the Faculty of Medicine. Findings show tutoring implementation proceeds well but is not optimal due to limited time. Guidance relies on lectures, modules, and practice questions, while attendance is often low because of long travel distance, untimely schedules, and uncomfortable rooms. Although cumulative achievement is very satisfactory, it does not align with low pretest-posttest gains and low passing competency results.

This research is a qualitative descriptive study with a total of 12 informants from the Faculty of Medicine, Uncen. The research results showed that the implementation of Public Health Tutoring had gone well but was not optimal due to the short implementation time. The Public Health Study Guidance Method required by students is the lecture method of providing material, learning modules and practice questions on the Student Competency Test for the Medical Professional Program. Tutoring student attendance tends to below due to the long distance from home, untimely schedules and uncomfortable tutoring rooms. The very satisfactory Cumulative Achievement Indexof tutoring students is not directly proportional to the low pretest-posttest of Public Health Tutoring and low Competency Test passing results.

The competency test component consists of a Computer based test (CBT) to assess cognitive, and an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) to assess clinical skills. The Medical Professional Program Student Competency Test is one of the requirements for prospective doctors to obtain a competency certificate. Competency testing is a measuring tool for assessing the quality of medical education in Indonesia(Khadafianto, 2020 ; Ichsan et al., 2023) . The Student Competency Test for the Medical Profession Program has a fairly high failure rate, so it can be minimized by preparation before the exam such as tutoring. Competency Test for Students for the Medical Profession Program(Nabila et al., 2022;Sahara et al., 2019; Nazriati et al., 2022) The Faculty of Medicine, Cenderawasih University, Jayapura, has a graduation presentation of below 50% in four consecutive periods in 2022-2023 and to overcome this, the Faculty of Medicine, Cenderawasih University, Jayapura is implementing Pre-Competency Test Tutoring. One of the difficult fields is the field of Public Health Sciences. Based on Institutional Feedback, the 2020 Medical Professional Program Student Competency Test Results, students at the Uncen Jayapura Faculty of Medicine had a low average score in the competency area which has a basis in Public Health Science compared to the national average score specifically on the topic of National Health System, Research Methodology, Statistics and Epidemiology (Doctor, 2020; Ichsan et al., 2023) .
