Motivation Letter “What can be more palpably absurd than the prospect held out of locomotives traveling twice as fast as stagecoaches?” - The Quarterly Review, March, 1825. It was most certainly questioning the idea itself that brought it to reality. Watching nowadays this prospect being surpassed by the human technology should be a reminder that everything around us is questionable. “The world we need won’t be built by men loyal to the world we have.” - Daenerys Targaryen, Game of Thrones. Let us not deny the wisdom of the late queen’s words in one of her paroxystic moments of madness; the world as we know it today won’t be changed unless we challenge and question it, burn all what we thought we knew about it to ash and let it be blown by the winds of tomorrow. This is far from being strange to our immediate reality as medical students, as we joined this Federation with the desire to belong to a global community of Youth that believes in its role in shaping the world of tomorrow, to whom Health for All represents a vision that is not compatible with the world we know today. Therefore, IFMSA represents the platform that not only empowers medical students with knowledge and skills, but most importantly raises them with the values of global citizenship. Thus, it is around these values that gather medical students from the 5 continents, so as to work together towards achieving a worldwide vision of a world where students are meaningfully involved in decision making, and consequently, raising to be tomorrow’s leadership. This transformative process is easily palpable within Medical Education systems, as it is the first system medical students are exposed to, and consequently the first one to ignite the student’s awareness of their leadership role. From students representation to non formal Medical Education, the impact medical students have been creating through the Federation is significantly expanding not only in time and space, but most importantly in the consequences on the system itself, as they have been able to generate tremendous change in medical curricula and provide valuable contribution to its quality assurance processes. IFMSA, through the platform of SCOME,
Marouane Amzil Candidature for IFMSA’s SCOME Director 2019-2020
has been working throughout the past years in structuring this impact, through harmonizing medical students involvement in Medical Education, and I can bear witness of how transformative is the platform of our federation, through its different tools and opportunities of international and local participation. I did not realize it myself until recently when I looked back on my experience in IFMSA, starting 5 years ago with the desire to create a non formal Medical Education platform in my university, to nowadays participating in the leadership machinery through promoting the student’s role in Medical Education on an international stage. I don’t think I could foresee the person I have become today, not without the activities I coordinated within my university, not without the knowledge I acquired through the multiple capacity building opportunities, not without the people I have met and exchanged ideas with in IFMSA meetings, not without the teams I have worked with, not without you reading this. We may probably have never met before, but opening this document and checking its pink pages (though sadly not scented) is already meaningful. Reading and listening to how a young (well I’m 25! That still counts, right?) medical student from Morocco envisions students involvement in Medical Education is already a step towards achieving it, as it would spark conversations and probably infectiously spread among our peers. Reading and listening to what I have to say is an embodiment of the concept of the IFMSA global citizenship, as we can all think globally and act locally, but also the other way around, as a sort of a wheel that shall never break. Dear IFMSA, this humble medical student from Morocco, a global citizen of IFMSA whose name is Marouane Amzil, is honoured to be presenting to you his candidature for the position of Medical Education Director during the upcoming term 2019/20. I hope serving the Federation through this position would be my swan song as a medical student, if we all let it be. Faithfully yours, Marouane.

Leadership 1
IFMSA Global Priorities
“Like a locomotive, a man is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else” - Orison S. Marden As we go on to the 2nd year of the implementation of the IFMSA Global Priorities, the Standing Committee and the NMOs are continuously adapting to the alignment of the work within the Federation. Further steps need to be taken in order to make out of the Global Priorities the lead locomotive of the SCOME work, on both global and local scales, through: • Developing an Annual Working Plan with action points revolving around the adopted internal goals of the IFMSA Global Priorities for the upcoming term. • Close cooperationcCollaboration with the Vice President forof Activities and the relevant Program Coordinators in updating and aligning the Programs Focus Areas with the IFMSA Global Priorities. • Structuring the promotion of the Medical Education Approach to the IFMSA Global Priorities toolkit alongside with the Standing Committee Directors through joint actions, such as Campaigns or Sessions during IFMSA Meetings. • Reporting on the impact of the IFMSA Global Priorities on the NMOs Medical Education Activity. • Understanding the NMOs attitude towards the implementation of the IFMSA Global Priorities on a local scale and deliver recommendations on developing National Priorities in the light of IFMSA Global Priorities, from a Medical Education perspective.

Involvement and Participation NOMEs involvement in the SCOME international work
“In organizations, real power and energy is generated through relationships. The patterns of relationships and the capacities to form them are more important than tasks, functions, roles, and positions.” - Margaret Weathley. Collaboration with NOMEs worldwide has brought fruitful outcomes to the international work of SCOME, as an example, this year involving NOMEs in webinars delivery helped in gaining a larger visibility of the opportunities and resources the Standing Committee offers. It is necessary to widen, but also streamlineorganize the NOMEs contribution to the worldwide machinery of SCOME for a stronger impact, through: • Creating a framework at the beginning of the term that structures the participation of NOMEs in the work of the SCOME international team, through a close collaboration in developing international activities such as campaigns. • Expanding the inter-regional collaboration to the NOMEs community, through defining its goals and means for the upcoming term, which will consist of: • Hosting several meetings throughout the terms among NOMEs sharing same interests in Medical Education. • Allowing NOMEs to work on SCOME international projects in accordance with their areas of interest and experience.

Outcome-based SCOME Sessions in IFMSA Meetings “A wise man once said: the true history of the world is the history of great conversations in elegant rooms” - Tyrion Lannister, Game of Thrones. Standing in the presence of medical students coming from various Medical Education and Health Systems is a golden opportunity for the Federation to not only understand but most importantly shape its perspective in students’ role in Medical Education. The SCOME Sessions consequently need to shift towards a different track, in order to enable the Federation and its members to work closely on various outcomes, through: • Analyzing the feedback of SCOME Sessions in both March and August Meetings 2019, as well as Regional Meetings, and develop accordingly guidelines on which we can base designing the SCOME Sessions in IFMSA Meetings. • Adopting an outcome-based approach to designing the objectives et facilitation methods of the SCOME Sessions, aiming to benefit from the different backgrounds of participants in Medical Education, in order to create general guidelines for students involvement in the various focus areas of Medical Education.

Sustainability and Institutional Memory IFMSA Medical Education Worldwide Report
“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants” - Isaac Newton. A metaphor expressing «discovering truth by building on previous discoveries» is none other than a reminder to building the future on our predecessors’ achievements. Ensuring proper and thorough documentation of our SCOME accomplishments has and will continue to allow us to look at where we stand, and where we can go as a Standing Committee. This year we started working on the SCOME Worldwide Report, analyzing the data collected through the Baseline Assessment and NMO-Report to have an understanding of the global spectrum of SCOME, and what NMOs expect from the International Team. It is necessary to continue this process, however aligning the tools is required in order to assure collecting more relevant data, through: • Restructuring the SCOME Baseline Assessment form in a way to ensure its complementarity with the NMO Report, allowing the international team to measure the impact of their work on the NMOs according to specific indicators. • Developing the yearly IFMSA Medical Education Report, focusing on the internal impact SCOME is creating on both global and local scales regarding Capacity Building, Activities and IFMSA Programs, Communication and Involvement of NMOs.

Sustainability and Institutional Memory SCOME National Strategies Development
“Your task is not to foresee the future, but to enable it”- Antoine de Saint Exupéry. Developing the SCOME Strategy 201821 has allowed the SCOME International Team to build on the vision of the Standing Committee through the different actions that have, and will continue to guide our Annual Working Plans for the upcoming 2 terms. What would catalyze reaching this aforementioned outcome is to encourage NOMEs to do the same, so as to harmonize our accomplishments on both global and local scales, throughout a longer timeline. Thus, promoting the development of National Strategies in SCOME by our NMOs is necessary, through: • Creating a concept note for NMOs that would not only allow to create goals and objectives relevant to their specific Medical Education context but as well as align them with the current SCOME global Strategy 18-21. • Build the capacity of NOMEs regarding strategy development through interactive sessions (whether online or in IFMSA Meetings).

IFMSA and Medical Education
As the Liaison Officer for Medical Education is the voice of IFMSA with our external partners, the SCOME Director also represents a major role in advocating for Medical Education interests within the Federation, through: • Be the voice of Medical Education within the IFMSA Team of Officials: ensure Medical Education is a core component of the relevant and important discussions within the Federation. • Work closely with the LME so as to promote the outcomes of IFMSA External Representation in Medical Education, as well as the External Opportunities IFMSA offers in Medical Education.

Global SCOME Workforce

SCOME International Team
“No one can whistle a symphony, it takes a whole orchestra to play it.”- H. Luccock. Coming together from different regions and backgrounds in Medical Education, the SCOME International Team is the real engine moving the locomotive forward. Taking part in 3 consecutive International Teams has taught me that each team is special in its own dynamics, strengths, weaknesses, and spirit. Thus, what would be wise is to institutionalize core values within the team, while we can still customize team dynamics, according to the personal traits of its members, through: • Keeping the current SCOME International Team structure while updating the tasks description for the team in accordance with the goals set for the upcoming term. • Consequently, consulting the VPCB to define a competency model for the international team. • Arranging, before the beginning of the term, a capacity building program destined to the SCOME International Team, through a set of meetings aiming to develop specific capacities (e.g. developing an Annual Working Plan, Communication, SRTs/ Programs procedures, etc) and create a bond among the team members. • Increase the inclusion of the SCOME related Program Coordinators (Medical Education Systems and Teaching Medical Skills) in the SCOME international work through their regular attendance to the SCOME International Team meetings, of which the frequency will be decided with the IT and VPA.

Capacity Building
“Think about every problem, every challenge we face. The solution to each starts with Education” - George H. W. Bush. Capacity Building has and is still making a giant leap in SCOME, as the TMET SWG is currently making progress in shaping the framework of Medical Education capacity building. The upcoming term will be the first year of its implementation and close monitoring is necessary so as to evaluate its impact and assure the quality of the SCOME Workshops. Thus, we need to not only develop auxiliary tools to strengthen the impact of our capacity building framework but also look further on what is the impact our tools are creating on the NMOs activity in Medical Education. Some of these tools could be developed within the team and/or in close collaboration with the Capacity Building and Programs respective International Teams, such as: • Essential Skills Modules for Medical Education Trainers • Medical Education Advocates and National Advocacy Plans • Develop the SCOME platform within the online education framework • SCOME yearly Webinars Programme
Marouane Amzil Candidature for IFMSA’s SCOME Director 2019-2020
Essential Skills Modules for Medical Education Trainers:
Assure the Quality of the SCOME Workshops through continuous education of our Medical Education Trainers. As the current TMET SWG is working on a framework highlighting a competency model of Medical Education Trainers, it is necessary to develop accordingly an educational programme targeting both the Medical Education knowledge and sessions delivery and facilitation skills.
Medical Education Advocates and National Advocacy Plans:
Further develop the AMET (Advocacy in Medical Education Training) Framework for the purpose of creating a monitoring system using the Medical Education Systems Program, as a tool to measure the impact of the workshop on NMOs advocacy work in Medical Education.
Develop the SCOME platform within the online education framework:
Define the learning goals and objectives, as well as engage IFMSA Medical Education Trainers in the delivery of the online courses. (benefit from the outcomes of the AMEEMR Social Accountability online course)
SCOME yearly Webinars Programme:
We established a yearly webinars programme for the year, it has helped us increase the visibility on the work of the Standing Committee and the opportunities it offers. For the upcoming term, we need to increase the visibility on Medical Education concepts, as they would serve as an open space for members to discuss general Medical Education concepts (e.g. Social Accountability, Quality Assurance, Assessment and Evaluation methods in Medical Education, etc) highlighting the students role in these specific areas within the Medical Education System.
