AM2011 preGA Programme

Welcome to Copenhagen! Dear preGA delegate, I am very pleased to welcome you to the wonderful city of Copenhagen - the capital of the country of fairytales! There is an amazing programme waiting for you and it will all happen at the Faculty of Health Sciences at Copenhagen University - the environment of the every day life of Danish medical students. You should feel very privileged to be joining the preGA! All the workshops have had a tremendous amount of applications and it is wonderful that so many delegates from all over the world have wanted to spend an extra three days with hard work, discussions and tons of new knowledge on their favourite topics. Unfortunately, this also meant that many had to be rejected but after haven expanded our capacity twice, we are proud to announce that we have been able to accommodate 254 eager and interested participants for 10 marvellous workshops. You can read more about each workshop in this delegate programme. At night there will be an exciting social programme and should you feel for some fresh air you can borrow a bike and go for a stroll through the city like all the Danes do it.

With accommodation in the heart of the city and the spacious facilities at the Faculty of Health Sciences combined with the motivation of the OC and the creativity of the participants I believe we have the recipe for a perfect preGA. One of the priorities has been to create a green preGA with a very limited carbon footprint. All the workshop coordinators have worked very hard to ensure you the best and most rewarding experience and the OC will do their best to meet all your needs. Always feel free to approach us with questions at any time! On behalf of the preGA OC, I wish you a wonderful time her in Copenhagen! Charlotte Holm-Hansen preGA Director

The Workshops What are the other 250 doing?

Presidents’ Workshop IFMSA VPI - Caline Mattar - vpi@ifmsa.org NMO presidents in IFMSA work hard to lead their organization into becoming effective. They face many shared challenges, from within different national contexts. A great deal of potential support, both practical and motivational, lies within the Federation itself but it is not fully utilised when the Presidents are fully occupied with their national and international responsibilities. The Presidents’ workshop provides an ideal forum for the Presidents to come together with their peers. Here they will share their experiences and insights, acquire new skills and develop novel ideas and approaches to their tasks. Being highly-motivated, they will develop their leadership skills as they go along. The trainers at the workshop will give them the environment in which to reflect on their experiences and to learn new approaches. During these 3 days, trainings on leadership skills, team building, organizational and managerial skills, as well as topics for personal development of the presidents will be addressed. There will be also dedicated for experience sharing and problem solving.

Health 2.0 Miguel Cabral - miguel__cabral@hotmail.com Health and the Future, nicknamed Health 2.0 has been getting a huge amount of attention, not only from parts of the Medical Community, but also from the entire health community - Health care professionals, patients, professionals in other fields and so many other groups, including Medical Students. The nickname – Health 2.0 – is definitely suited to these times of unprecedented growth in the new technologies field, which has been and will continue to be one of the major influences for the anticipated change in today's way of dealing with Health. Additionally, these changes will also allow a different potential for the relationship between patients and doctors that can now be more regular and closer. The role of Medical Students in this process is particularly important, as they can easily adapt and use the different spectra of available media tools, which they are already conversant with. Although this movement has to be a collective phenomenon, it will still have to happen on an indi-

AM2011 preGA Programme

vidual basis. It will involve important self-management skills to handle all the stress, information and demands that the physicians of tomorrow will additionally have to handle. We hope that this pre GA can enable the participants to be active members of this change not only in their personal and academic life, but also in their NMOs and in IFMSA and also in their future tasks as a healthcare provider.

SCOME - Changing health care through medical education SCOME Director - Ioana Goganau - scomed@ifmsa.org The continuous improvement and attaining excellence in medical education is an important goal of the Medical Education department of IFMSA on international level as well as local and national ones. However medical education does not stand alone, it is part of a wider interconnected system centered on health and health needs of the population and plays a crucial part in it. This workshop invites to look at things from the perspective of the way in which improvements in medical education can reflect into better health-

care and the need to adapt medical curriculum to local, national and global emerging needs and priorities of the medical systems. The content of the workshop includes different approaches students can use towards improving medical education, either involvement in curriculum development and colaboration with faculty or through extracurricular activities, and will touch several subject of interest for the relation between medical education and health care, with particular focus on patient safety and social accountability. Patient safety is defined as a health care discipline that emphasizes the reporting, analysis, and prevention of medical error that often lead to adverse health care events. Health care errors impact 1 in every 10 patients around the world, the World Health Organization calls patient safety an endemic concern. Social accountability is the common frame for the set of challenges medical schools face in the 21st Century as they were identified by an alliance of 130 organizations: “improving quality, equity, relevance and effectiveness in health care delivery; reducing the mismatch with societal priorities; defining roles of health professionals; and providing evidence of impact on people’s health status.

Think Global Think Global Initiative Project Coordinator- Usman A. Mushtaq - thinkglobal@ifmsa.org Im proud to tell you that The Think Global Team will continue with the highly successful workshop on Health, Advocacy and Climate Change. With some major improvements and new exciting high-level trainings. Also this time we will try to include potent externals from organizations such as the 10:10 campaign, Copenhagen School of PH and World Health Organization. We will look to continue and build on the successes from the previous workshops, this workshop is one of many integral steps currently being taken to up-skill IFMSA members to advocate on important public health issues. It will combine content based information on Climate Change, Health, and key factors in the ongoing international debate with practical skill-sets relating to campaigning and advocacy. New for this workshop will be to work on defined targets such as the build up to a very important COP17 in Durban (this December) and the Rio Earth Summit (early 2012), which is supposed to be the biggest UN meeting of the past 2 decades(!) Also to structurize IFMSAs efforts on Climate and Health.

A large proportion of the workshop will be dedicated to campaigning and advocacy, specifically campaign theory and planning. Participants will be encouraged to develop a campaign and continue to transfer the knowledge they attain at the workshop to other fellow medical students via peer-education after their return to their home country. This workshop aims to inspire and equip students to further global health education opportunities within their NMO's and the IFMSA in general. With the IFMSA involved so heavily in this important issue, we can't think of a better time to get people excited about this workshop!

International Peer Education Training (IPET) SCORA Director - Joško Miše - scorad@ifmsa.org IPET again became reality and for the 11th consecutive time, we offer you highly interactive and unforgettable training in behaviour change peer education. This, 11th time we decided to take it a step further and explore how far can we go with IPET! For the first time we have IPET with a special focus on Millenium Developmental Goal 5 – improving maternal health. We have been working for past 6 months together with IPAS on bringing you this unique IPET. IPAS is an organization working on promotion of women's health and advancement of women's reproductive rights. They have an extensive experience in delivering trainings aimed towards young people so having IPAS as collaborators on IPET 11 is an amazing opportunity to attend a high quality training on the issues of maternal health. Apart from having an amazing time, you will also learn how to develop projects with new techniques, ideas and outcomes and simply – how to create a peer education project on your local and national level aimed at improving health of mothers and women .

Training of New Human Rights Trainers (TNHRT) SCORP Director - Beata Syzdul scorpd@ifmsa.org The workshop aims at providing participants with basic information and principles of human rights, vulnerable

AM2011 preGA Programme

populations and the right to health. This is basic knowledge of importance to every human being, but of even greater importance to future doctors, as in many cases they are the front line defending human rights. In some cases they could be the only ones present to stand up for those suffering from inequities. During this workshop, participants will develop better understanding of basic human rights and the magnitude of the problems vulnerable populations are facing. Participants will also be equipped with a set of skills to directly and actively spread the information they've learned and work towards resolving inequities in the recognition, protection and promotion of human rights around the world. This Pre-GA will deliver the aforementioned objectives by implementing a number of techniques including the use of audio and visual materials, participation in group debates, practical case studies, role plays and simulation techniques and the sharing of experiences in home countries to deepen our understanding of the problem. Finally, participants will be provided with the training and the materials necessary to run the training new human right trainers project in their home countries to continue their learning experience and encourage fellow medical students to join in.

Team of Officials Meeting 5 (TOM5) IFMSA President - Chijioke Chikere Kaduru president@ifmsa.org The Team of Officials Meeting is usually a three day meeting of the IFMSA international board, that allows for planning the work of the federation, discussing issues that affect the functioning of the federation, preparing for General Assemblies and team building.
