The Joint Sessions is a session where Standing Committees will create thematic sessions together, discussing topics and issues where their two work areas intersect. In this session, we aim to create an environment of interconnectedness, and show that within the Federation, we do not merely work on self-contained areas, but also work together across Standing Committees to tackle the core issues the world is facing right now. The details of Joint Sessions can be found in the Standing Committee Survival Kit.

SCOME Sessions

Welcome Message

You who fight !

This is the first quote that caught my attention since the beginning of 2020. It is a casual phrase common in Brazil, said whenever someone strives to achieve simple day-to-day goals. I couldn’t help but reflect this quote on our day-to-day IFMSA life and the fights we lead for a better tomorrow: you who fight for a better teaching and learning opportunities for your peers, you who fight for representing medical students, you who fight for the quality of your education, you who fight for healthier communities, you who fight decent working conditions in healthcare, you who fight for a stronger health workforce, you who fight your fights, wherever you are: we are here to fight with you, we are here to fight together.

The SCOME Sessions are the arena where all the fighters gather, so they can share their experiences, discuss common strategies and develop a united vision on students’ involvement in Medical Education locally, and globally.

The Standing Committee on Medical Education (SCOME) is the global platform for medical students worldwide to join forces so as to learn, empower one another and lead actions to advocate for meaningful students’ participation in Medical Education.

Since the past years, SCOME has developed many initiatives in ensuring medical students worldwide are capacitated with Medical Education knowledge and representation skills, in order to ensure they are actively taking part in the decision-making within their Medical Education Systems. The SCOME Sessions during IFMSA General Assemblies are a special occasion for medical students worldwide, since it is the largest youth gathering across the 5 regions to discuss Medical Education, exchange ideas and brainstorm a common mission to achieve together: in other words, it is the embodiment of the IFMSA motto: “thinking globally, and acting locally”, but sometimes it is relevant on the other way around, as members can think locally and act globally within the global participation opportunities IFMS offers, so as to shape and strengthen the voice of medical students all over the globe.

Looking forward to joining forces with you in Rwanda, Marou

Welcome Message

Whether it is your first or you sixth GA, we will make sure that you find your place during the sessions. You will go back home not only with an enthralling motivation but with an enlarged family striving to build the best exchange programs.

Enjoy these unforgettable days, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to get some sleep and never hesitate to come to us for any concern/question/ compliment! <3 With love, MM20 SCOPE Sessions Team

Introduction to SCOPE The Standing Committee on Professional Exchange (SCOPE) was founded in 1951 and is one of the first standing committees within IFMSA. It started small, beginning with only 8 European countries, but since then has grown into one of the largest student-run exchange programs in the world, with around 13.000 medical students participating every year from more than 100 National Member Organizations. The SCOPE exchange program is a quality educational and cultural experience organized entirely by medical students with the help of their medical faculties.

The aim of SCOPE is to promote cultural understanding and cooperation amongst medical students and all health professionals, through the facilitation of international student exchanges. SCOPE aims to give all students the opportunity to learn about global health, and attains this partly by having its exchanges accredited by medical faculties across the world.

Voting Rights: Link

In order to stay SCOPE active in IFMSA and have voting rights during the SCOPE sessions, you would need to meet all the requirements stated in the SCOPE Regulations. So basically, NO Voting Rights = NO SCOPE: An immediate investigation will be launched and your NMO will face suspension, according to Regulations 2.13. Please follow the guidelines described in the NEO Voting Rights Mail sent to you through the NEO server and contact your RA in case you have more questions.

Voting procedures: Link RCPs voting : SCOPE has rules which are discussed

and sometimes changed during General Assemblies to improve our Exchange Program. You can find the SCOPE Regulations post AM19 LINK Any SCOPE Regulations change should be sent by February 1st. The GA is the moment in which you come to a conclusion, after discussing the RCPs beforehand, as you will have limited time during the SCOPE Sessions. So please read all proposals carefully before. You will find the RCPs to be voted on the March Meeting 2020 LINK

During the MM20, SCOPE will have a session for NMOs to present their successes, experiences or anything they are proud of in their NMO when it comes to their exchange program, called the “NMO Exchanges Glory”. This will be a great opportunity for all participants to acquire practices from others and take it as an example, applying it back home. This session is going to include 2 parts: - The first part of the session is going to be an online campaign before the GA, where posters, depicting the achievements, will be shared in the IFMSA Instagram account @youifmsa, and voted upon. During the voting period, you can vote by liking each post.

- The second part of the session is going to take place during the GA. Participants will present their achievements during the SCOPE sessions.

More information will be sent later to the NMOs through our official communication channels.

No matter if this is your first GA or you are an experienced veteran, there are always things to learn, ideas to share, people to meet and friends to make!

The SCORE sessions are full of positive dark blue energy and March Meeting 2020 will be no exception. This Survival Kit serves as a guide to the MM20 SCORE Sessions and contains all the information you need to be well prepared. So read it, love it, live it.

there will be both beginners and advanced exchange officers, we have ensured that there will be different sessions to suit everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and experience. On Day 2, we will also have the Exchange Fair, where you will have a chance to present your NMO Exchange Program and explore other NMOs and learn about their Exchange Programs.

If things get confusing, if you have questions or just want to have a little chat, feel free to approach anyone in the SCORE Sessions Team at any time, we are here for you!

So come experience the dark bue family,

The Session Team is working hard to learn, share and most importantly, have fun! prepare interactive and productive sessions according to your needs. We will have Trainings, Small Working Groups, Regulations Changes, Big blue hugs, Supervising Board elections, and more! Since Your MM20 SCORE Sessions Team

Introduction to SCORE The Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE) was founded in 1991 with the objective of giving students an opportunity of improving their skills in research in other learning settings. Presently, SCORE involves more than 80 active NMOs, offering over 1500 research projects to provide over 3000 medical students worldwide the opportunity to participate in the IFMSA Research Exchange Program and learn the basic principles of medical research such as literature studies, collecting data, scientific writing, lab work, statistics and ethical aspects related to the medicine. It is important to mention that all exchanges are initiated and coordinated entirely by medical student volunteers.

Mission: Our mission is to offer future physicians an opportunity to experience research and diversity in countries all over the world. This is achieved by providing a network of locally and internationally active students that globally facilitate access to research exchange projects.

Through our programming and opportunities, we aim to develop both culturally sensitive students and skilled researchers intent on shaping the world of science.

Welcome Message

to human rights, to peace … and beyond!

More than 70 years on from the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights are still undermined in various places and settings around the world. With a rapidly developing world and new technologies, challenges to human rights have increased in diversity. For around the same timespan, the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations worked to empower its members in taking their vision and ideas, and making them a reality, with the aim of influencing the transnational inequalities that shape the health of our planet and eventually making an impact on the world.

Today, in a such a dynamic world, the role of youth, as agents of positive change, in creating a better world is crucial. A world in which the human rights of every individual, especially young people, are realized; that ensures every human being is empowered to achieve their full potential.

At the dawn of a new decade, we come together to deliver to SCORP’s ambitious, but also very direct, vision: ‘to achieve a peaceful world where all individuals are entitled to full and equal access to their human rights, where no one is left behind, where priority is given to people in greatest need and where the entire society, including medical students and health workers, unite to support vulnerable groups’.

We come together to continue delivering to our mission of ‘empowering and motivating medical students to actively promote and protect human rights and peace through advocacy, capacity building, and awareness raising, as well as by supporting the students in carrying out activities and projects’.

We come together to reflect on the development of SCORP over the past decade, but

also to start a new decade filled with new needs and challenges to address, new perspective to reflect on, and new goals to achieve! We come together to solidify the basis for the upcoming generations of SCORPions to build their work on and to continue the development of the Standing Committee.

For that to be achieved, and as we go into the March Meeting, we aim to work together to upgrade the quality of our work, increase our impact and take our advocacy one more step forward. Over the years, huge efforts have been put on to ensure that our members are empowered and well equipped with skills; that our advocacy and participation is meaningful; and that our words are turned into impact.

However, we need to build upon those efforts and live up to the present needs and challenges.

We look to you to inform, influence, advocate; mobilize and leverage; showcase; and contribute to this vision, of stepping up youth’s efforts towards meaningful and impactful effect. Even more, we count on you, SCORPions, to turn the promise of SCORP into concrete actions.

The world is so vulnerable, facing a wide variety of crises and human rights violation.

Awareness and discussions alone may not solve deep rooted problems. But SCORPions working together, hand in hand, even if miles apart, can co-create and pave the way for change. Let us share our ideas and good practices; learn from each other; and support each other to participate meaningfully, to make an impact, to human rights, to peace … and beyond! ` Mahmood Al-Hamody SCORP Director 2019/2020

Set up your CSE programme: how to tackle SOGI

If you don’t have a Comprehensive Sexuality Education Programme back home, here you will see how to set the basis and how to include sexual orientation and gender identity through different methods and how to deal with the different obstacles you could face.

Step up your CSE project: one step forward

For the ones who already are involved in a CSE project, we will explore how to step up your in classroom expertise and your out of classroom skills in order to implement CSE based initiatives in other environments and settings.

ExRep Update - 25 years of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights

What has been going on outside IFMSA in the SRHR arena? Apart from an overall update, you’ll get familiar with the 25th anniversary of the ICPD Programme of Action, the Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, as well as how to apply those documents to support your work.

SCORA Sessions

Sessions Description Day 3: When the personal becomes political Beyond the infection: HIV and politics

HIV criminalization is still prevalent worldwide: you’ll get to discover it’s origins and the strategies to tackle them at different levels in addition to exploring SRHR and HIV linkages within the human rights framework.

When helpers hurt: Tackling Obstetric Violence

An often normalised and disregarded form of violence in healthcare settings: how can we identify it, respond to it and generate change in the long run?

Living library: SRHR criminalisation around the globe

We’ll go through the highlights of diverse SRHR criminalisation cases around the globe in the hopes of creating empathy towards these cases of SRHR criminalisation amongst participants.

Round table: Health, Access, Rights

Come join us in an interactive session led by our external partner! We will delve into methods of values clarification and attitude transformation in context of criminalisation and access to safe abortion as a direct follow up from the Living Library.

Day 4: SCORA is all about you!

Skills and tools for SRHR

The opportunity to gain useful skills to develop your SRHR activities in your NMO: you’ll pick a topic and join a small working group to focus on it. Topics will include public speaking, how to make an annual working plan, how to work social media to your advantage, fundraising and much more!

Activities Fair

A chance to share, network and get inspired by other members initiatives. Bring a poster or any other material to present your activity to the world!

Day 5: Community empowerment: the future is intersectional!

SOGIESC throughout history

Get ready for a human-sized board game that will take you through history, pop culture, terminology and many more facts related to LGBT+ community.

Toxic masculinity

Aiming to deconstruct the notion of toxic masculinity and get to its roots, we will be analysing its effects and identifying ways to debunk it in our societies.

Privilege and coming out for SOGIESC

GBV: from victim to survivor GBV: intersectionality approaches and prevention strategies

40

Most of our daily life would sometimes get bored or feel like a routine, but some small actions and rights we practice could be part of a whole list of privileges that we are not aware of. We will explore those privileges that are taken for granted while discussing which groups have limited access to them. We will also tackle the notion of coming out when it comes to the dos and the don’ts.

In this session, we will be focusing on the ABCs of GBV as we will determine the right terminology to use. Then we will escalate from there to discuss the actual notion of GBV and its types.

Prepare yourself to have mind-blowing discussions and rethink our perspectives when you think about GBV. We’ll discuss multiple axes of discrimination and how they play a role when it comes to prevention.

Your Point of View

What worries, angers or pushes you to keep going? During this session a row of speeches showcasing unique experiences or opinions answering the previous questions surrounding the topic of SOGIESC. A call for speakers will be out!

Regional SC Sessions Agenda:

During Regional Sessions, Regional Assistants prepared different formats to tackle topics that concern the region in addition to updating you on what will happen the rest of the term.

Region Africa Americas Asia Pacific EMR Europe

Session content It’s time for Africa! Ready to discuss the next plans for the Region?

The Regional Priorities will be tackled: let’s see them from a SCORA perspective!

From an open discussion on patriarchy and oppression of women in the region to addressing topics such as gender inequity and gender-based violence, you’ll build the way forward with regional initiatives on the matter.

What’s coming next? From regional campaigns to other initiatives, you have a saying!

BDSM: are you familiar with the acronym? Get to break out the facts around it, discuss media stereotypes and expand your knowledge to new horizons.

What to Bring ? Important Info Promo Material: during the SCORA Activities fair, every member is invited to put up a poster that describes the activities in a few words and photos. You can bring leaflets, brochures or other promotional materials (like a short video presentation) to share your initiatives with the rest of the SCORA participants.

Energizers: Working together for a lot of hours can bring down the energy a bit! Please, don’t forget to bring with you the best energizers possible to keep the SCORA spirit up throughout the whole event.

Condoms: Bring condoms from your country, we will even host a competition you’ll learn more about it soon!

Red Clothes: As you know SCORA’s colour is red, we advise you to pack at least a rec piece of clothing for group picture purposes. Also, keep in mind that for the sessions one needs to wear comfortable clothes and footwear.

Computer/Tablet/Notebook or Something to write on!

Get organized! We don’t want you to miss any important information, so take notes and share them with your NMO.

An open mind and loads of motivation: Gathering all this new information might be very confusing at first. Don’t be afraid to ask us any of your inquiries and stay open to challenge your intern perceptions.

Safe space: SCORA sessions are your safe space, a place intended to be free of bias, conflict, criticism, or potentially threatening actions, ideas, or conversations.

It’s where you can fully express yourself without fear of judgement. You can escape being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome or challenged on account of your opinion or identity (biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, cultural background, age and physical or mental ability).The space is not isolating and promotes healthy learning, listening and gratitude where physical and psychological safety is ensured. Keep this into account anytime during the overall sessions, it’s our responsibility to keep this environment!

SCOPH Sessions

Welcome Message Dear SCOPHeroes around the globe,

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that we are already creating our first survival kit for the term! Time really does fly. I welcome you all to the March Meeting, and more so, the SCOPH Sessions. IFMSA General Assemblies are a very unique opportunity for medical students from all over the world to meet and discuss global health issues.

I invite you to attend the meeting with lots of energy and enthusiasm to learn and interact with other individuals interested in public health.

Be prepared to delve deeper into public health than you would inside the classroom. Be openminded to receive knowledge, attitudes and practices from different parts of the world. The knowledge and skills that you acquire ultimately depends on your own motivation to learn.

Seize this opportunity!

I hope that you will make the most of the assembly in Rwanda. Meet people and network with future health leaders. Grow your appreciation for global health. Have fun. Enjoy every bit-sessions, theme event, plenaries, social programs etc.

See you soon in Kigali, Sarah Maitho

During SCOPH fair, you get to experience various impactful activities carried out by SCOPHeroes all over the World. It is a perfect opportunity to get exposed to various SCOPH other project ideas that you can implement back home.

DAY 3 SWG Time

This time is set aside for you to brainstorm on various areas of work within the orange committee. This is a chance for you to share with us your brilliant ideas which we will implement after the GA.

The Beginning: Story of Gaea and Asclepius

According to the Lancet, climate change is now the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. The health impacts of climate change are accelerating as our ecosystem is shifting. We are here to take you through the multiple links between climate change and health.

The Next Chapter: Terra vs Salus

Climate Change is an opportunity to improve global health. It is our duty as the health workforce of tomorrow to become climate advocates and protect the health of our current and future generations. Here’s how the policy-making of the climate agenda works.

Eco Anxiety: The Pandemic of 21st Century

Mental health conditions are the leading cause of disability and ill-health in youth, and ‘eco-anxiety’ has been on the rise. The climate crisis is increasingly impacting both our physical and mental health. We need the necessary knowledge and skills to empower and treat those who suffer from the mental health consequences of climate change.

From Farm to Fork, Does That Still Work?

Addressing our food systems is imminent to both human and planetary health.

Recognising that a transition to sustainable food systems will have a direct impact on health through increased food security, provision of adequate nutrition and cessation of hunger, and hence promote health for all.

DAY 4 SCOPH Capacity Building

Brief capacity building training sessions will be held and participants can choose which to attend. You will also learn how to set up SCOPH capacity building back home.

External Opp! Action for Alcohol Prevention

Don’t miss the unique opportunity with Mr.Isaah Ali from the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance. He will take you through the policy-making strategies for alcohol reduction and prevention, in addition to giving insight into how to address the influences of the alcohol industry on such policies.

The Umbrella of Health = The Umbrella of Life?

The first thing that comes to our mind whenever we think about umbrella and health is Universal coverage, one of the most interesting public health topics. In this session we will be discussing how can we implement UHC within our health systems and what needs to be fixed in order to achieve UHC.

The Wallet of Health

When we talk of UHC, we inevitably discuss health financing. Is health care accessible financially? We’ll learn more about the cost that healthcare places on our wallets.

Operation: The World

5 billion people in the world don’t have access to surgical care when needed.

This affects women who need c-sections, youth in road traffic accidents and children with congenital malformations.

IT Roast

Are you curious about a certain IT member’s work? This session provides an avenue for you to ask them any questions.

Global health is vast, and we can only discuss so much during one GA. To provide a bigger menu of topics to learn about, we will have the sessions’ team serve you with knowledge on other global health issues. Are you curious about the topics we will talk about?

Forum of Representation

The forum of representation is a session made for members by the members. Every participant is invited to share the challenges they are facing at home when it comes to SCOPH and present the ideas or solutions they have for the SCOPH IT to work on.
