AMSEP BACKGROUND
A
sian Medical Students’ Exchange Program (AMSEP) is one of AMSA International’s programs, which was established in 2003 to facilitate exchange programs between students of AMSA. The first AMSEP was between Indonesia and Japan in November 2006 and January 2007. As the only exchange program approved by AMSA, AMSEP provides an opportunity for all AMSA members, both preclinical and clinical, to experience a glimpse of medicine in other chapters. The program varies according to the university of the host country that organizes the schedule. All participating students will experience all AMSA philosophies (Knowledge, Action, and Friendship) in AMSEP. They will experience healthcare systems in other countries, medical education, as well as the distinctive culture. All in all, the memories made through AMSEP will be unforgettable. Every year, the number of participation in AMSEP is growing. AMSEP International continues to add new members every year. Currently, chapters that are involved in AMSEP are Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Bangladesh, India, Egypt, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Mongolia, and Nepal. AMSA International also bridges AMSA with European Medical Students’ Association (EMSA) and Federation of African Medical Students’ Associations (FAMSA). With the development of AMSEP International each year, AMSA-Indonesia strives to be active in AMSEP. The number of hosting universities in AMSA-Indonesia also increases by the year. Hence, this Guidebook serves to maintain the excellent quality of AMSEP.
