Through this project the SCORE members can improve their knowledge and training ability in research and also be able to provide
some benefits to CIMSA and the surrounding communities. Methods and phased implementation is divided into 4 levels, which are: • Level 1 : Training for Trainer At this level, SCORE members get some training on how to conduct research especially for quality control research from experts in this field of research. Material provided such as how to make a good questionnaire, which can then be used for Level 2. • Level 2 : Trans SCO Research for Quality Control This level is the stage of application of TnT, where SCORE member perform simple research in the form of trans-SCO research. Here the research held in conjunction with the implementation of the project of other SCO (SCORA, SCOPH, etc.) and is used to evaluate the success of the SCO project (carried out by analyzing the before and after other SCO projects implemented through distribution of questionnaires).
29
• Level 3 : University Level Research This level is almost the same as level 2, where SCORE members applying their research into true form of research. However, the objective of this research more broadly, which includes national university. • Level 4 : Community Research The research done on this level cooperates with external parties, such as health offices, health centers, and others. The subjects of this research are people in general community.

been raising its voice so strongly in the IFMSA, and has been recognized as one of leading medical student organizations through its activities. Its member has been actively involved in various aspect in IFMSA. Some of the alumni are active in addressing health issues through various reputable non-government organizations, for example the UN bodies. Some other involve in research, clinical works, and teaching. But all of them kept in their mind that they have to be aware of their surrounding, thrive, survive, and making contribution to their surroundings. This is a true hope of an organization. We began as a student, we continue as professionals, and we bring our community to a better world.
13 January 2013 To Whom It May Concern: Medical Students’ Committee for International Affairs (MSCIA) It is a great honor for me to write a testimonial letter for Medical Students’ Committee for International Affairs (MSCIA). MSCIA was born on the year 2001, being the first student organization conducted international programmes in the Faculty of Medicine – Universitas Brawijaya. As a pioneer, MSCIA has initiated an international exchange programme in the field of both professional and research for medical student. It has helped the faculty in setting up a comprehensive student exchange programme ever since. Started with 2 departments, nowadays MSCIA has 5 departments, i.e. Public Health, Medical Education, Reproductive Health including AIDS, Research Exchange, and Professional Exchange.

Because of the high standard of projects displayed by MSCIA, this particular student exchange organization was becoming a national role model
for exchange programme. I believe it was the first-ever medical students’ organization to be so acknowledged in the field of student exchange.

Dear my MSCIA friend… Love is sometimes meeting place that we never thought before. Not only a human body but also community or could be a thing. That’s what crossed my mind when I say “MSCIA”. Why do I say so? Because MSCIA who make me love to medical science that initially I think it’s very boring, MSCIA that started my love to an outsider who is not even my family, but from social activities are made, MSCIA that started my love to my friends who work professional with love and passion, MSCIA who started my love to myself and my talents and MSCIA makes my character comes out. MSCIA is a place where I can freely express my opinion, my thought without any typical racist, religion and caste. MSCIA is a place where everyone appreciates each what was raised. MSCIA is where all the feelings that exist. Much is said in the word “MSCIA” but in short word, “MSCIA”
is Love. A person can’t be perfect if he just alone and no one can’t be felt complete without encourage, passion, trust and love. Let your friend fill your heart with all the things that makes you complete, let your friend cover you by love so then you can’t be alone. It such a poem...But its truly comes out from my heart ;).
