Dear SRHR advocates, It is my great honor to present you the Survival Kit of the first edition of the TSRHRT workshop in the history of IFMSA! I remember my first SCORA workshop 2 years ago in online settings, all the feelings of excitement, anticipation, confusion, and quite a bit of nervousness. I am imagining that these feelings are doubled for physical settings after countless days of quarantine.

With this in mind that I and the rest of TSRHRT Trainers have carefully and lovingly prepared this Survival Kit which we hope will sufficiently prepare you for what I can guarantee to be one of the most intense, amazing, and lifechanging SRHR experiences of your life.
