IFMSA-Egypt members gather 3-4 times per year but definitely winter camp experience is always different! as it’s the greatest capacity-building event of the year where medical students from all over the country unite together for 4 years for learning,being capacitated with knowledge and new skills and what’s more important is making new friendships from different cities and unforgettable memories.
The annual IFMSA-Egypt Winter Camp is a greater version of our national general assemblies with an extended agenda offering medical students the opportunity to embark on a life-changing journey, where sessions on multiple topics are held back to back, trainings on every different skill are offered and the chance to unite medical students with a different stakeholder in health awaits us through the theme & side events. All for the purpose of empowering medical students from all over Egypt.
Throughout the years, the Winter Camp has always had a theme that reflects IFMSA-Egypt’s priority and main field of interest for each year. Climate Change has been a rising issue over the past few decades and especially over the past few years. It is also IFMSA-Egypt’s National Priority towards which we aim to focus our action for the year.
Therefore, the theme for the 13th Winter Camp is Climate Action. 2022 has been a year of effective steps addressing and taking decisions to put a halt to the rising issue of climate change especially with Egypt hosting COP27 and COY17. As a student-led organization representing thousands of future healthcare professionals and partnering with multiple influential stakeholders, we want to play our role in climate action addressing it from our perspective in our biggest capacity-building event of the year. Due to the urgency to take corrective actions, the United Nations listed “Climate Change” as SDG 13.

Description:
During these four days, we will be Offering Sessions and Workshops Related to our theme Event, Climate Change and Health, Through 5 different parallel rooms which are:
Every year, new public health challenges emerge and call for creative and innovative solutions, and as medical students and future healthcare professionals we have to be equipped with the knowledge, understanding, and skills to do this. These public health sessions are done to promote the ideas exchange and the public health education.
The field of sexual and reproductive health and rights needs continuous education and understanding of the issues and circumstances on the national & international levels, thus this session will be mainly concerned with this, ensuring the benefit of all the participants and to act as the guiding source for them in the future.
As medical students we represent more than 50% of the process of medical education within any medical education system, hence our efforts can never be neglected in this field. The SCOME sessions will be aiming at equipping the participants with the tools with which the medical students will be able to advocate for the change they want to see in the future and to participate actively in changing our world of Medical Education.
Throughout history, physicians have fulfilled a unique role in society. Being medically knowledgeable, we save lives, and being HumanRights knowledgeable, we save dignity and humanity. This session will be shedding light on the most recent human rights challenges affecting Global health and equipping the participants to become peace change makers.
IFMSA-Egypt has been a leader in the field of developing and organizing exchanges providing Egyptian Medical Students with opportunities to travel abroad and gain a lot of experience through conducting an internship or joining a research team with a foreign university. Within this session, local and national exchange officers of IFMSA-Egypt gather to develop the system for organizing such exchange opportunities and make it available and convenient to all Egyptian medical students all over Egypt.
LC Management establishes safeguards for our organization as it is simply the effective integration of activities and efforts that are working together in order to achieve our goals.
The Winter Camp theme event for this year’s Winter Camp will tackle the issue of Climate Change from a health perspective. This will be done through a panel discussion including multiple high-level expert panelists addressing climate change as a health hazard; its effects on the health of the population both directly and indirectly, the potential threats it causes to our well-being, and what we can do both as a youth organization and as future health professionals to combat climate change and avoid exacerbating the problem.
Climate change from a health viewpoint has not been the main concern addressed in past Climate Action events including COP27 which is why we believe that this should be the main Theme Event of our Organization’s biggest assembly of the year.
The side events are 4-6 parallel sessions that can take variable forms including panels, movie discussions, group discussions, debates, seminars and others. Each side event will tackle climate change from a unique point of view like public health, medical and paramedical education, human rights and peace and sexual and reproductive health and rights. These side events will include our external stakeholders and partners,
IFMSA-Egypt’s Alumni who have relevant experience to the topic and active IFMSA-Egypt members. The side events serve to engage our members and involve them in the topics relevant to our theme by interacting with people with expertise relevant to our main topic on multiple levels.
As this is a gathering with all medical students, bonding and maintaining a strong relationship between all students is a main priority for the OC So we are preparing various social activities
Beach activities (Parties, Volleyball, Color Festivals, etc…) LCs’ Competitions Carnival Games
