About IFMSA
It all started 66 years ago. A group of Medical students from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, England, The Netherlands and Austria sought out to change the world after WWII, with this vision in mind: “A world in which all medical students unite for global health and are equipped with the knowledge, skills and values to take on health leadership roles locally and globally.” They gathered in Copenhagen to start a nonpolitical organization that would represent medical students. The purpose of such an organization was to “study and promote the interests of medical student cooperation on a purely professional basis, and promoting activities in the field of student health and student relief.” Hence, the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA) was born. Initially three committees were formed: Standing Committee on Medical Education (SCOME), Standing Committee on Professional Exchange (SCOPE), and Standing Committee on Students’ Health (SCOSH). One year later the first General Assembly (GA) took place in London, 30 students 8
SCOME Survival Kit | MM 2018 Egypt
participated, representing 10 countries. Over the years, the original eight member countries have been joined by many more. IFMSA is the world’s largest and oldest student organization representing medical students, maintaining 127 National Member Organization (NMOs) from over 5 regions. With over 1.3 million members, IFMSA is recognized as a non-governmental organization within the United Nations’ system and the World Health Organization. It is also the student chapter of the World Medical Association. IFMSA unites medical students worldwide to lead initiatives that impact positively the communities we serve. IFMSA represents the opinions and ideas of future health professionals in the field of global health, and works in collaboration with external partners. IFMSA builds capacity through training, project and exchange opportunities, while embracing cultural diversity so as to shape a sustainable and healthy future. The core purpose of IFMSA is to bring together the global community of medical students at the local, national and international level on social and health issues.

SCOME Programs IFMSA Programs
Teaching Medical Skills
IFMSA Programs are developed to centralize the streams of activities which are organized by IFMSA National Member Organizations (NMOs) and IFMSA Internationally. All the programs connect with the work of IFMSA. One of the main goals of the programs is to measure the impact of IFMSA.
Program Coordinator: Nuñez
You can describe one program also as a large umbrella. It’s a broader topic, but covers multiple projects and activities. If you bundle those projects and activities, it’s easier to measure the outcomes and the impact of those projects, alone, but also all together. This way, it’s easier to gather all the work that we’ve done. The IFMSA Programs are not Standing Committee specific, but can overlap within standing committees. Having a centralized stream of work in each field allows our Federation to monitor and evaluate the impact of mutual efforts of all NMOs towards solving emerging global health issues. There are currently five programs involving Medical Education and therefore, we call them SCOME Related Programs: Medical Education Systems, Teaching Medical Skills, Human Resources for Health, Ethics and Human Rights in Health and Health Systems. Medical Education Systems Program Coordinator: Aleksandar Veselinov Farfarov E-mail Address:
mededsystems@ifmsa.org
This program involves activities that aim to have students learning more about medical education topics, in a way they are more involved in the medical education system and in faculty decision making. There are many topics that can be discussed here, such as curriculum, learning theory, assessment and evaluation. 12

E-mail Address:
Ximena Alexandra
medicalskills@ifmsa.org
The main goal here is to complement the formation students have in medical school. Activities that aim to improve the competences of future doctors on medical related topics, especially practical skills. Even though the medical student and the medical school are the main target, the final idea is having a better healthcare in the future. Ethics and Human Rights in Health Program Coordinator:
Mary Adaeze Obi
E-mail address:
ethics@ifmsa.org
Medical doctors should advocate for their patients and know how to face ethical dilemmas. In order to do so, activities that involve teaching the medical student about human rights and letting them understand how they should proceed ethically in different scenarios can be done and added into this program. Health Systems Program Coordinator: E-mail Address:
Christina Kefalidi
healthsystems@ifmsa.org
This program is basically for activities that work with health systems in some way, such as WHO Simulations, Policy making discussions, activities regarding Universal Health Coverage and the student engagement on the improvement of the Healthcare.

Regional SCOME Session Eastern Mediterranean SCOME Regional Sessions Medical Education is an everlasting developing scientific field that needs a solid ground in order to evolve towards its contemporary goals. Therefore, to develop Research about Medical Education itself is very vital to this previously mentioned goal. The following session focuses on the importance of Research in Curriculum Development and Design, and other aspects as well of Medical Education. Participants would not only be introduced to the importance of Medical Education related Research in Curriculum Development and Advocacy, but most importantly to work together in developing long-term strategies in order to implementing Research Projects about Medical Education on a regional level.
European SCOME Regional Sessions Europe is truly a melting pot. From every NMO you get a new angle, a new perspective on how we can improve medical education and what our role may be in it. As mesmerizing as it is, it makes up quite a challenge when you want to focus on one particular topic. After all, what would that topic be? This March Meeting we’d like to take you to the basics of Medical Education. How do we have access to medical school? And once we’re in, how can the curriculum provide us the necessary support to withstand the long hours, the hard work and the pressure we are under? The challenge is set! Let’s go talk about what does it take to be a medical student in Europe.

Joint Sessions During the MM18, SCOME will be working together with 3 Standing Committees to bring you some amazing Joint Sessions: SCOME/SCORE: Medical Students
Research
Initiatives
for
Research is the mainstay of scientific and medical development. Medical students often lack the opportunity to learn about and be exposed to medical research through their medical curricula, which can affect their future ability to appraise published reports and conduct projects on their own. In such cases, it is important for medical students to take initiative and make opportunities for themselves. This joint session between SCORE and SCOME will introduce the basics of research and how to develop research through IFMSA, in order to empower the participants to start their own research projects. It will also provide an opportunity for participants to discuss and brainstorm ideas for research projects with medical students experienced in research with published papers.

SCOME/SCOPH: Public Health in Medical Curricula SWG
Public Health is essential to future Healthcare professionals’ knowledge. Yet, the curricular of many Medical Schools does not include basic sufficient knowledge about Public Health (Health Systems, Social Determinants of Health...).SCOPHeroes and SCOMEdians have been advocating to increase the depth of knowledge and application of Public Health topics in their medical curriculum. It is a priority for both SCs and thus we have a functional SWG on the topic, to provide resources, advocate and build capacity within IFMSA to promote and enable medical students to act regarding this topic. This sessions is one of the session in a series of sessions on PH in MC.

Global Health Workforce: In September 2016, the final report of the United Nations HighLevel Commision on Health Employment and Economic Growth projected a global shortage of 18 million health workers by 2030, primarily in low and lower-middle income countries. IFMSA, as a body comprised of future health workers, believes in the importance of implementing the 2030 Global Strategy and in the importance of having an official stance, as action is urgently required across all regions and stakeholders.

It aims to formulate the parameters of behaviour: • to be in accordance with the principles and values of the Federation • to create a comfortable and safe environment and atmosphere for all participants of every cultural background • to achieve the best outcomes for the meetings Principles and Values of the Federation Each participant is expected to take responsibility for themselves, and to act in accordance with the constitutional principles and values of the Federation at all times. All participants are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration, and foster tolerance, dignity and equality. In order to ensure productive and inclusive meetings, all participants should foster cooperation and show appreciation of each others’ contributions. Taking part in IFMSA meetings should be a meaningful, fun, and safe experience. Any form of discrimination, including but not limited to political, religious, social, racial, national, sexual or disability-based discrimination, will not be tolerated from any participant of the meeting. General rules and behaviour All participants should feel comfortable and safe within the IFMSA, and during IFMSA meetings.

Act in environment-friendly way with the capacities of the host (e.g. recycling materials) • Participate. Take an active role in the General Assembly program and contribute. You are responsible for getting the most out of the GA for yourself.
