Introduction from the SCORE International Team
Dr. Sara Cerdas SCORE Director 20132014 scored@ifmsa.org
Dear SCOREans worldwide, It is with great pleasure that I present to you a new edition of the SCOREview. With 66 active NMOs, more than 3.000 research projects to offer, SCORE enables more than 2.500 students worldwide to spend one month abroad enrolling in Research Project. Since the March Meeting 2014 in Tunisia, after the amazing SCORE sessions, our Standing Committee has seen many improvements. Without a doubt one of our main achievements was the endorsement by the World Federation on Medical Education (WFME) of the IFMSA Exchange programs. This is a milestone achieved towards our goal to improve the Academic Quality of our program. And we have new NMOs that successfully started up their Research Exchange program, such as Medsin-UK, IFMSA-Iraq, BeMSA-Belgium and IFMSA-China. Please welcome them into this wide loving dark blue family! In this edition you’ll learn more the charms of Brazil, and how is it like to be on Exchange in Taipei, Turkey, Prague, Berlin and Thailand. And the tutor perspective of being part of our great program. Finally, find out more about the amazing SCOPE/SCORE sessions held in Kuwait, at the EMR Regional Meeting and Poland, at the EuRegMe 2014. We wish you a wonderful time reading the following pages, have a nice travel in the world of Research Exchange. Blue love,
Sara Cerdas
