Message from SCOME Sessions Team Dearest SCOMEdians, Earlier this year, a group of committed and passionate SCOMEdians from different parts of the world, took upon themselves to create the most amazing SCOME sessions that IFMSA has ever known. A bit far-fetched, yes? Well, not for a bunch of Medical Education addicts! Taking all your comments and ideas into consideration and after carefully reviewing feedback, we have made sure to tackle every aspect of our work by creating a holistic agenda. And what is the most exciting part? You, and every participant, will play a major role in our March Meeting interaction as the stage will be gloriously yours to share, exchange, inspire and become inspired. So buckle up, bring your tireless attitude and get ready for one of the most fulfilling and educational (in a fun way!) week of your life: make sure to not miss a moment! Remember: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Show him how to catch a fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.� Because that is the power of education; medical, or not.
Your March Meeting 2016 SCOME sessions team
Introduction of IFMSA “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” With this vision in mind, the IFMSA'' a non-profit, non-governmental organization'', takes an active role in building and shaping the world we want. For more than 60 years, IFMSA has existed to bring together the global medical students community at the local, national, and international levels on social and health issues. The story started in 1951, as the world was rebuilding itself after the world war II, when medical students from eight countries (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, England, The Netherlands and Austria) gathered in Copenhagen to start a non-political 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 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 124 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
professionals in the field of global health, and works in collaboration with external partners.

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.
Introduction of SCOME As medical students are directly exposed to medical curricula, they are the first quality check of medical education and they should rightfully have an influence on the creation of new curricula and curriculum development. It is often the medical students who are the strongest proponents for adapting their education to the needs of their community. We are concerned with facing the needs of healthcare in a modern society and are willing to commit to make sure our education prepares us for them. Here SCOME enters the game. The purpose of the SCOME is to gather students from all over the world who would be interested in playing an active role in their medical education; how to analyze it and then advocate adapting it to the present and future needs as future doctors. As medical students are direct SCOME offers an international platform for medical students to come together, to be empowered and receive capacity building trainings to enhance their impact on the local level through projects and advocacy, and on the other hand forms a tool that represents the voices of medical students worldwide
through
international
organizations
such
as
the
World
Health
Organization, World Medical Association, World Health Organization, World Federation for Medical Education and many others. Throughout the year, our members come together in two General Assemblies (March and August) and in five Regional Meetings, can participate in online meetings or in Small Working Groups on specific topics, and are constantly updated by the International Team on activities that are going on globally. In this annual report you will find the highlights of the activities from this term.
SCOME Structure SCOME-D NOMEs
LME
RAs LOMEs
The IFMSA Director on Medical Education (SCOME-D) leads SCOME. (S)He is elected on a yearly basis by the IFMSA General Assembly during the August Meeting. As per IFMSA bylaws, the SCOME-D oversees and coordinates the work being done within SCOME, be it by the National Officers or the International team. The SCOME-D is also in charge of preparing and guiding the Standing Committee meetings during General Assemblies and Regional Meetings. At the start of the term in October the SCOME-D appoints members of the international team to assist carry out these tasks. As SCOME collaborates with multiple external organizations working in the field of Medical Education, the position of Liaison Officer on Medical Education (LME) was established in the year 2000. The LME is also elected on a yearly basis by the IFMSA General Assembly, and is tasked to represent both IFMSA and SCOME to externals; you can find a list of the externals that SCOME works with later on in Chapter 12 of the manual. To ensure continuous coordination, monitoring and support to all SCOME activities across National Members Organizations (NMOs), the SCOME-D appoints the Regional Assistants with the consultation of the Regional Director and the LME. Their tasks include, but are not limited to: Keep in touch with the national SCOME groups within their respective regions; Provide personal and professional support to National Officers on Medical Education; Encourage and assist the development of SCOME within their respective regions (identify problems/weak points and work alongside National Officers and the SCOME-D to solve them); Assist and support new comers; Encourage and maintain cooperation within SCOME groups of their respective regions; Prepare and lead the SCOME sessions at the respective regional meetings; Encourage and maintain cooperation between regions;
Each NMO within IFMSA that is a member of SCOME is required to have a National Officer on Medical Education (NOME) or a similar contact person who should be elected according to the NMO’s bylaws. Tasks of NOMEs include encouraging and promoting SCOME activities within their respective countries and reporting back to the Regional Assistant and/or SCOME-D. NOMEs are recommended to attend IFMSA General Assembly meetings in March and August, where they can network with each other, exchange ideas and expertise, and gain new knowledge to bring back to their national and local committees. Local Officers on Medical Education (LOMEs) are in charge of local improvement in Medical Education and related activities at the different local medical faculties of a National Member Organization. They are elected locally based on their NMOs’ respective bylaws and are responsible for tackling local problems.
Introduction of SCOME Related programs IFMSA Programs are centralized streams of all affiliated activities done by IFMSA National Member Organizations (NMOs) and IFMSA as a Federation internationally. IFMSA Programs are addressing a problem within a specific field that we as medical students and global health advocates stand up for while connecting local, national and international activities and opportunities that contribute to the final outcome. All IFMSA Programs fall in line with IFMSA vision, mission, priorities, strategic plan and work of NMOs locally and nationally. They are established by NMOs during IFMSA General Assembly with the support of the IFMSA Executive Board ensuring the quality, consistency and sustainability of IFMSA Programs. 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.
1) Medical Education Systems Program Coordinator: Hsu-Li Huang│E-mail address: mededsystems@ifmsa.org Enrollment Form: http://goo.gl/forms/jV6oeyZWFQ 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.
2) Teaching Medical Skills Program Coordinator: Katarina Mandić│E-mail address: medicalskills@ifmsa.org Enrollment Form: https://goo.gl/89JSFq 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.
3) Human Resources for Health Program Coordinator: Alberto Abreu da Silva│E-mail address: hrh@ifmsa.org Enrollment Form: To be updated after finalization of the Baseline Assessment Activities that aim to engage the medical student to study, discuss and advocate for the improvement of healthcare workforce planning, distribution and quality can be enrolled into this program. Advocacy initiatives and awareness campaigns are examples of what can be developed in order to tackle Human Resources for Health difficulties.
4) Ethics and Human Rights in Health Program Coordinator: Maria Gołębiowska│E-mail address: ethics@ifmsa.org Enrollment Form: To be updated after finalization of the Baseline Assessment 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 about how they should proceed ethically in different scenarios can be done and added into this program.
5) Health Systems Program Coordinator: Monica Kujabi│E-mail address: healthsystem@ifmsa.org Enrollment Form: To be updated after finalization of the Baseline Assessment Every organization, institution and resource that is devoted to produce health action is part of a Health System. 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 System.

SCOME Sessions Introduction I.
[TMS] Non-formal Education (NFE) TMS stands for Teaching Medical Skills, which is a program that embraces all activities organized with the main goal - to increase competences of medical students as future doctors, providing them with opportunities to acquire appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes. NFE is defined differently by different practitioners—some say that NFE is any out-of-school learning, others stress that participants need to design their own learning activities, while others say that non-formal teaching methods can be incorporated into all learning.
II.
[HS] Inter-professional Education HS stands for Health Systems, which we introduce the mechanism of institutions in the field of health. It is a collaborative approach to develop healthcare students as future inter-professional team members and a recommendation suggested by the Institute of Medicine. Complex medical issues can be best addressed by inter-professional teams.
III.
[MES] Basic in Medical Education / Curriculum Development MES stands for Medical Education Systems, which we introduce the mechanism of institutions in the field of medical education. As medical
students are directly exposed to medical curricula, they are the first qualitycheck of medical education and they should rightfully have an influence on the creation of new curricula and curriculum development.
IV.
[TMS] Teaching & Learning Theory How educational theories could be put into practice.
V.
[MES] Student involvement & Advocacy / Assessment & Evaluation With a focus on student-issues and the medical educational system worldwide, the session provides students an avenue to voice concerns, analyze issues, and advocate for a better future.
VI.
SCOME Poster Fair Each participants would design their own poster to demonstrate the national programs, their ideas about medical education, prospect of medical students and so on.
VII.
Medical Education Related Program Fair Here we will have 5 stands with 5 SCOME related Program Coordinators that you can approach. Participants can directly bring their poster with them, and discuss with Program Coordinators about the fitness of enrollment. In addition to 5 programs related to SCOME, their will be a sixth stand, managed by Regional Assistant, which is tackling those activities that are not belong to any current programs. If participants don't know which program should they match with, there's also a mating center facilitated by SCOME Director, where participants can ask for clarification of the border between programs.
VIII.
Human Resources for Health: from global to local
Human Resources for Health is an area of work of IFMSA that aims at ensuring adequate health workforce for all worldwide, which means that IFMSA stands for the availability of health workers for everyone, at the same time that demand adequate training and planning methodologies. Many times, it's difficult for NMOs and local and national officers to understand how do international discussions can matter to their national and local work; specifically what can be done for this cause in the national and local context. Therefore, this session will aim at bridging the gap between the international and national discussions, as well as developing tools for NMOs to start working on these issues nationally.
IX.
Social Determinants of Health In WHO’s definition, the social determinants of health (SDH) are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. As a medical student, understanding the background of our patient and the indications of political, economic, social factors behind is crucial to the effective treatment of them.
X.
[Ethics] Ethics in curriculum In this session, we may learn about ethics and human rights in health. We share the experience and thoughts about our own medical humanity curricula.
XI.
Living Library: NOME Presentation After checking the participants’ information, we'll choose several NOMEs or activity coordinators or advocates, contact them before GA, and ask them to share their experience of being a NOME/activity coordinator/advocate. During the session, these role models are just like real books that you can learn from,
participants can read them, approach them and ask them questions interactively. After the session, we'll interview these "books" and publish a booklet for collecting role models to other NOMEs.
XII.
SCOREME Joint Session The objective of this SCOREME (Standing Committees on Research Exchanges and Medical Education) joint session is to present an up to date summary of current evidence in research education, existing systems, and ways to implement research in medical curricula, through and international dialogue between the SCOME and SCORE committees.
XIII.
SCOME Strategic Plan & SCOME Regulations We will discuss the current SCOME Regulations and Strategic Plan. According to SCOME Regulations, NOME will have the voting right during this session and vote for proposals of amendments. The call for amendments was sent two weeks before GA.
Policy Statement Discussions The IFMSA speaks on behalf of all our members, on behalf of 1.3 million medical students around the world. Because of this fact, it is extremely that the policy statements, which are documents that write out our beliefs on crucial topics, reflect the opinion of our full federation, including the Standing Committee on Medical Education when it comes to the topics you guys are experts in. We’ve created a manual for you that will help you understand what a Policy Statement is, and how you can provide effective input to the discussions. You’ll find the manual here: https://drive.google.com/a/ifmsa.org/file/d/0BzG3YFov8dzkcS1RNFk5ZEZiQXM/view ?usp=sharing
The Policy statement discussions of the GA will take place in the following way:
There will be a short announcement about the policy discussions in the SCOME sessions and Presidents’ sessions
A call for input for Policy Statements was opened before January 10th, and the proposed policy statements were submitted
Two policy statements were submitted in a topic related to Medical Education: the Global Policy on Medical Education (Submitted by the IFMSA Team of Officials and is an update of the currently existing policy) and the Policy Statement on Widening Participation in Medical Education (proposed by Medsin UK and IFMSA-Quebec)
A document will be shared on the NMO mailinglist and the SCOME mailinglist where NMOs can provide comments and raise discussion points to the documents
There is a special session of two hours for policy statements in the general GA agenda. During a world cafe where each policy statement has a coordinator, you have the opportunity to discuss the content of the policies, especially focusing on discussion and controversial topics.
ď Ź
After the session, each coordinator will write a summary of the comments within the google doc as a form of minutes, so that everyone will have access to the provided comments.
Please remember, that throughout the time from now till the adoption, you can always approach (or write an email to before the GA) the proposer or the LME (lme@ifmsa.org) or VPE (vpe@ifmsa.org), in order to raise your concerns, ask questions have a discussion, or provide input that you’d wish to.

SCOME Calendar Dear SCOMEdians across the globe, Since its formation, IFMSA has become a platform for intercultural communication and an endless pool of inspiration and ideas. But where does all this inspiration come from? The answer is easy, as it is certain: you! Among 5 regions, 124 NMOs and approximately 1.3 million medical students worldwide, one will find an array of incredible activities, innovative initiatives and thousands of tireless SCOMEdians, trying to make a difference in their education. One question every SCOMEdian asks at some point is “What sort of activities are other NMOs organizing?” and is directly followed by another question: “Where can I find these activities?” Granted, international meetings pose an amazing opportunity to exchange that information and find out what is happening worldwide. However, there is obviously a limit to how many meetings one may attend and it is not nearly enough to include the hundreds of everchanging events. And it is exactly this need for information and practice exchange on a daily basis, internationally, that gave birth to the idea of the SCOME Calendar. As the name suggests, the SCOME Calendar is daily updated calendar including all SCOME activities happening on a global scale. Every SCOMEdian can include it in their gmail account and find out at any point who is organizing what to become inspired or find out connections among similar projects. Even better, the SCOME Calendar can create a platform for people to communicate with each other and exchange information or practices. Here, you may find a small preview of activities happening this year in various NMOs:

How you can include your activity? Simply contact your Regional Assistants and they will explain the process. It is as simple as it could be! At any point, make sure to take benefit of the SCOME Calendar and do not hesitate to contact activity coordinators: they will be happy to help you out and answer your questions. And who knows, this simple step could only be the beginning of something great in your work! This calendar was created to increase the visibility of NMO, encourage NOMEs' involvement, improve the information transparency of IFMSA official activity and keep every SCOME member updated within IFMSA. Internal IFMSA activities and external meetings are all included, and national/local activities from NMOs are highly welcome! So, if you ever wondered what is happening worldwide… you can find your answer here!
