MESSAGE FROM THE SUP CO

Message from the Supervising Council

Dear Future Leaders,

Eric Holst, the first president of IFMSA, once said: “The impossible we do tomorrow. Miracles may take a little longer.”

Life is made for people who are crazy enough to believe that they can change the world. Who would have thought that medical students, the young and courageous leaders of IFMSA, would have such an impact in changing the world by building the largest student organization! Our efforts in IFMSA-Jo are also huge. We’ve aspired many people to become greater versions of themselves, helped battle the struggles our country faces head-to-head, and excelled in managing them. We’ve established a very solid organization that believes in community service and building a more socially-accountable medical student; equipped with skills in handling all the issues they might face as future leaders. Our organization has also provided our society with health care professionals that serve as role models for advocacy, education, collaboration, and management.

Mark Manson once said “Who you are is defined by what you're willing to struggle for.” We believe that everything in life requires three things; vision, passion, and courage. It takes courage to apply as a leader, OC, or even a volunteer in a project. It takes courage to take any step in your career actually. However, courage alone is insufficient. It has to be fueled with passion, otherwise you’ll end up being burdened rather than having fun in doing what you’re doing. Finally, you need to have a vision in mind in order to direct your passion and courage the correct way.

As IFMSA-Jo’s Supervising Council who have witnessed different eras in IFMSA-Jo, and you can be assured that we are further evolving as an organization; which is all thanks to the efforts of IFMSA-Jo’s passionate members. We wish you leaders a happy reading of this magazine. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the CPRSDD and her team for putting together an amazing piece of work. Keep doing what you love.
