Standing Committee on Medical Education (SCOME) Towards Better Medical Education: The medical education process aims mainly to generate a competent, accountable doctor who is able to meet our community needs with a strong base of knowledge and skills. In Egypt, most of the medical schools are going with the traditional discipline-based system and using out-of-date curricula and biased methods of assessment. The teaching methods depend mainly on theoretical lectures with minimal levels of clinical exposure of students. On the other hand, medical students in Egypt don’t play their role in the medical education development process. Most of them don’t pay much attention to the quality of their education and its accreditation, and they are not oriented about their importance. In this project, we propose ideas and plans to empower the Egyptian medical students to be an active participant in the education development process. This way, we can achieve the utmost goal of the medical education process. The project shall reach its desired target in two ways; The first is to put the medical students in the right track as a major stakeholder, together with the medical education administrators. And the second is to capacitate the medical students and orient them about the core values of the medical education. This was Achieved through: 1- Online Campaign:

Evidence Based Medicine: Link: Curricula are now an integral part of medical education which are taught in various formats and to students of various medical disciplines, defined as the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. EBM teaching usually takes the form of journal clubs or encouraging residents to use EBM summaries of original articles. Both have significant limitations. Residents and other physicians recognize that understanding statistics is important for interpreting results. Unfortunately, they report low self confidence in this area reflected by studies that show poor skills. Aim: It aims at integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systemic research and patient values to determine the appropriate treatment plan.

First Aid for All: Link Learning First Aid can save lives. Everyone can learn First Aid and everyone should. That’s why we aim to help people realize the importance of First Aid. As stated by the British Red Cross," Every year in the UK, thousands of people die or seriously injured in accidents. Many of these accidents could be prevented if first aid is given before emergency services arrive". So, first aid can mean the difference between life and death, rapid versus prolonged recovery, and temporary versus permanent disability. So we want to teach everyone simple, lifesaving skills through our project. We will not only address how to deal with the different injuries: wounds, cuts, burns, accidents ... etc. but we address the ways and techniques of prevention. The project aims at increasing medical students’ knowledge about First aid & its importance through Building a well-trained team of medical students about the essentials of first aid and organizing local workshops in different medical schools to increase the knowledge of students about first aid. Then, spreading the awareness of essential, basic first aid skills among non-medical population, mainly school students & teachers and non-medical college students through wide physical and online awareness campaigns.
