Regional Directors’ Assistants

Europe Introduction

This is just the beginning of what we can do together - there is still a space in the plan for your ideas. If you have a vision how we can improve our Region now it’s time for you to share it and apply for the IT!

Every year, the call for the International Team embarks on a new chapter in IFMSA. Again, Team of Officials is offering opportunities to our most motivated and experienced members to challenge themselves and together with us shape our beloved Federation. I will be looking forward to your applications for the European Team as I am given the honour to serve you as the Regional Director for 2018/2019.

As the member of the Regional Team, you will face many challenges, you will have a chance to develop your communication, time management and teamwork skills working on an international level. I will do my best to make this time meaningful and give you a space for personal growth.

Upcoming term will be crucial for our Regional Strategy. Adopted during AM 2016 in Mexico significantly influenced the work of the past two teams and lead to many achievements. Last two years had shown that Europe, with its numerous and diverse NMOs, is even stronger when we act together on the topics that matter to all of us. As the strategy is going to an end, our team will have great influence on its final outcomes. Not only do we need to focus on fulfilling goals that are still unaddressed, but also ensure that tools provided during past terms are used effectively. During August Meeting in Montreal, NMOs voted upon European External Priorities for the next term. Therefore, we will continue focusing on antimicrobial resistance, but also developing external representation in the topics such as mental health and vaccinations. Our responsibility is to make our region vocal and to build the capacity within NMOs to be an active part of policy development process in IFMSA and speak up on the regional and national level.

The European Regional team will be built of two General Assistants, Fundraising & Development Assistant, Standing Committees assistants and RA for Capacity Building. Although with different responsibilities, each of us will face the same overarching goal – creating stronger and more active Europe. Paulina Birula, RD Europe 2018/19

Standing Committee On Huamn Rights & Peace (SCORP)

International Team Introduction Dearest SCORPions,

merely the absence of disease or infirmityâ&#x20AC;? we cannot talk about health or serve to make people healthy without realizing their human rights and making sure they live in a peaceful society. As health students, it is our responsibility to fight for human rights by searching for inequalities to tackle, by working to sustain peace and by amplifying the voices of others. Luckily, as a Standing Committee, we have many members who work passionately to achieve this. And they not just need but deserve an International Team who can give them their best.

Here we are, at the beginning of a new chapter in our journey. Through the years, we worked together locally, nationally and internationally in order to make this world a place where everyone is free, where peace is established and sustained and where human rights are realized for everyone. Yet despite all the efforts of human rights advocates like us, despite all the ways our societies and technology has advanced; we are living at times which human rights are violated the most. This means our passion, our potential and our work is needed more right now than ever. Therefore, I am more than excited to share with you the call for the SCORP International Team 18-19.

Do not hesitate to contact me through idilkina97@ gmail.com if you have any questions. Hugs and glitters,

What does being a member of the SCORP International Team mean? Well, below this introduction you will get to read about the task descriptions of different members of the International Team but just to summarize, we will be a team working together to serve SCORPions from all over the world. We will work with and assist them tackling the human rights and peace issues of our world, we will make their work more visible, build the capacity and make sure medical students worldwide are able and encouraged to be involved with human rights and peace.

Program Coordinators Introduction message from VPA IFMSA Programs still cause a bit of confusion to our members, even 4 years after implementation. We have done a lot in that time to adapt them and help our members understand the structure of Programs and contribute to their development. This year we had a big leap forward with the highest number of Activities enrolled and in the end reported, as well as with the alignment of Programs. We terminated some Programs and included them in the newly opened ones, with the hopes of reducing overlap and making the structure easier to comprehend.

important, in addition to of course experience in activity management which will allow you to help our members in their efforts to organize activities and enroll them in Programs. I encourage you before applying to read the following section that gives a brief introduction to IFMSA Programs and provides links to some basic documents. Even if you are already familiar with all of that, a little revision might give you more ideas for your Plan of Action! If you have any additional questions, please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to contact me on nikolicn@outlook.com.

This leaves us with a lot of work on not only maintaining and improving what was done in recent years, but also doing Baseline Assessment for the 8 adopted Programs.

On behalf of The Team of Officials elect, Nebojsa Nikolic,

With that said, I am hereby opening the call for you to help the Federation and my work on not only on bringing the Programs closer to NMOs, but also reflect on our work as coordinators of this structure and improve it.

VPA-2018/19

What are IFMSA Programs though?

A Position of Program Coordinator is perfect for you if you have previous experience in activity management, and would like to help Activity Coordinators around the world improve their work, as well as asses their mutual impact. Additionally, we will look to improve collaboration between Program Coordinators and Standing Committees and help Liaison Officers in their efforts to present the work done by Activities that were enrolled in Programs. As a Program Coordinator, you will become a part of the team of 15 people (including the Program Support Assistant and me) that will be working on all of this and more! This is an opportunity for you to work on reaching the goals of our Programs, improve them, and at the same time enrich yourself and meet other exceptional people across the world. The main criteria, besides motivation, will be the knowledge of the topic of the Program and experience in activity management. As we will be looking into including PCs in work of some Standing Committees during events, knowledge of the topic is going to be very

A Program is an umbrella structure for time-bound Activities that fall under a common topic. An IFMSA Program is initiated (and terminated) by the General Assembly. The main goal behind a Program is to measure the impact of IFMSA and NMO Activities in a specific area, so as to guide future efforts. Every IFMSA Program is managed by a Program Coordinator. Before there were Programs, IFMSA had a structure to recognize so-called Projects of NMOs. The system had multiple flaws: the General Assembly had to vote on the affiliation of Projects individually, after a lengthy and bureaucratic review process. Many Projects ran over a long time and little was done to assess their impact on society.

The Program Structure aims to tackle these flaws. Inspiration was drawn from IFMSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s External Partners to design a structure that both serves the needs of NMOs and allows for IFMSA to further develop itself.

monitored by the Program Coordinators. All Activities should be enrolled and approved by the Program Coordinator before they are carried out. This ensures that Activity Coordinators can benefit from the experience of the Program Coordinators to improve their Activity’s design, resource management and impact evaluation. However, as long as an Activity meets determined criteria, Enrollment and Reporting are possible at any given time.

Before there were Programs, IFMSA had a structure to recognize so-called Projects of NMOs. The system had multiple flaws: the General Assembly had to vote on the affiliation of Projects individually, after a lengthy and bureaucratic review process. Many Projects ran over a long time and little was done to assess their impact on society.

Activity Report forms submitted until the 15th of June are compiled into the Program’s annual Impact Report that showcases the Program’s achievements. Program Impact Reports are presented at each August Meeting and tabled for adoption.

The Program Structure aims to tackle these flaws. Inspiration was drawn from IFMSA’s External Partners to design a structure that both serves the needs of NMOs and allows for IFMSA to further develop itself.

With this structure, IFMSA aims to provide a simplified and outcome-oriented system for NMOs and their members, that can accommodate a wide variety of Activities. It also aims to equip medical students with tools to measure their own impact and can be used as a great platform for NMOs to collaborate amongst each other.

First of all, the term “Activities” was introduced to describe every action taken by IFMSA and its NMOs to work towards IFMSA’s mission and vision. Activities include Capacity Building, Education, Advocacy, Campaigns, Research, Third Party Activities.

IFMSA Programs have a lot of potential. Information from the Impact Report can be used to showcase our Activities to External Partners. Furthermore, using information from Activities can be used when applying for grants.

In order to measure the impact, Activities need to be affiliated with a Program. This process of affiliation was designed to be as easy and as straightforward as possible: first, the Program Coordinator is informed about an Activity through a process called Enrollment. It is important for the Activity Coordinator to already have defined specific objectives, a timeline and indicators of success for the Activity, so that once it has been conducted, its impact can actually be measured. In case the Activity meets the Program’s requirements, the Program Coordinator approves the affiliation of the Activity to the Program.

If you are interested to find out more about Programs, consider reviewing the following materials: Links: Program IOGs Programs Toolkit PC Manual Descriptions to Programs on ifmsa.org

The impact of the Activity is communicated to the Program Coordinator. This step is called Reporting. Two different forms are used for the Enrollment and Reporting of Activities. The responses to these forms are regularly
