IFMSA The International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA), founded in 1951, is one of the world’s largest student-run organizations. representing medical students from 136 member organizations in 127 countries. Work is divided into four areas: Public Health, Sexual and Reproductive Health, Medical Education, and Human Rights and Peace. 13,000 clinical and research exchange programs for students to explore innovations in medicine, healthcare systems and healthcare delivery in other settings are organized annually; it brings people together to discuss and initiate projects for a healthier world. It trains members and gives them the resources needed to be global health leaders.

IFMSA offers medical students a taste of pressing health issues worldwide. Activities positively impact physicians-to be, their communities, and the health systems around the world in which they practice.

IFMSA has been run for and by medical students on a voluntary basis; showing that they are not passive in a globalizing world, but have a powerful role to play in global health and show them that their goals can be achieved with knowledge and commitment. In IFMSA, the emphasis is placed on students returning to their local environments with new ideas and the skills to implement them. As in the doctors of tomorrow and future leaders of health, we feel confident that our students will carry this spirit with them throughout their professional lives.

IFMSA-JO In 2006, the Jordanian National Member Organization joined the IFMSA global entity and ever since, IFMSA-Jo has served our community through multiple activities, divided into four main global health areas: public health, medical education, human rights and peace and reproductive health. One of the aims of IFMSA-Jordan is to motivate medical students in all medical schools around Jordan to get involved in their communities through active participation in voluntary work, and to provide them with the necessary tools and skills to become successful future doctors and health leaders.

It is guided by the vision of serving our community and reinforcing Jordan’s national health through igniting and uniting the knowledge and potentials of medical students. Our mission is to serve the society and medical students in Jordan by empowering our members in using their knowledge and capacities, providing a link between members, medical students associations, and national and international organizations to encourage the cooperation between them for ultimate benefit of the society. IFMSA- Jo is composed of a National Committee and five Local Committees in the following universities: University of Jordan, Mutah University, Yarmouk University, Hashemite University, and Jordan University of Science and Technology.

ABOUT US

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Aws Al Mukhtar Dear Reader, In our short-lived journeys, we often have set standards in our minds; some we achieve, some we fall short of, but others we surpass. We all have expectations for ourselves and others; set on us by society, friends, family, and most importantly, our selves. Failure is a stepping stone to success; that we learned reflecting on to our own history.

In this issue, we aim to inspire our readers to take a moment to reflect upon their journey in life. We will be sharing inspirational stories of individuals who were brought down by circumstances, societies, lack of opportunities ..etc, yet they found their path into greatness.

We are alive for a purpose, we are here to leave our print; let's make sure we are remembered.

In IFMSA, each of us adds a piece to the picture; the painting is yet to be done. As we come to the end of our term, this is my last addition as a director. The piece I've added was not really my piece. It was a family of exceptional individuals; each adding a piece of their souls into it.

At the end, I would like to ask you to pay attention to each and every detail in this issue; some will be explained, some we'll leave to the reader; After all: The truth of the story lies in the details.

-Paul Auster.

MEDICINE HAS CHOSEN “HER” Lina Al Mahmoud A long time ago, and to this very day, women fought to have their simple rights. Despite the challenges, they stood strong and went against the enemies of equality to prove that women have potential and that they are a part and parcel of the social, economic, and health sectors’ development.

Women also proved that they can work in various fields, including medicine, as they have broken the old laws that banned them from education, particularly in medical schools; thus breaking the idea that “Medicine is not for females”.

Many females around the world start their voyage into medical school with depressing tags and doubting questions that confuse their choices and question their decisions. They were driven for their choices and were told that “A female has no better place than her home”. Well, seems like people forgot that the very first doctor in the history of human beings was a female, called “Merit Ptah”, from ancient Egypt. However, Miss Ptah’s voice and words were only the first stones that paved women’s’ path to medicine, for they believed in themselves when nobody else in the world did!

During the first century AD, in ancient Athens, when the law prohibited women from the medical profession, a famous gynaecologist named “Agnodice” helped thousands of women by treating their diseases and relieving their aches. This doctor was also known for his delivery procedures so some women refused to give birth or to be treated by a doctor other than him. This created a halo of suspicion around him that made males think he is sexually seducing women. And so, he was sent to court to be punished. However, during the trial, after he was out of defending excuses, he finally confessed that he is actually a women dressed like a male! This revelation reduced her penalty and Athens embraced her and empowered her role as a doctor; and the law was changed.

However, medicine was banned again for girls until the 18th century. When a woman was told by her friend that she would not have gone through all her torture pain if her doctor was a female! These words never vanished from her mind even after her friend passed away. “Elizabeth Blackwell” aspired to be the person her friend needed when they were younger, but her journey did not become easier. She worked as a music teacher to save money to attend medical school, which was pretty expensive at the time. After she saved all the money she needed, Miss Blackwell applied for 29 medical schools and institutions, yet all of them rejected her application for being a woman. She applied as her last hope, Geneva Medical College in NYC-USA, where the dean of the faculty decided to make a “medical students survey” to ask them about their opinions regarding the attendance of a woman to their lectures. Little did she know that the survey was her winning card! Most of the students accepted her

MEDICINE HAS CHOSEN “HER” Lina Al Mahmoud as their new colleague. It was not clear at the time if they approved her attendance to break the solidity of the university or if it was an underestimation of her capabilities, but that did not really matter because in 1849 Miss Blackwell was the first female to legally graduate from a medical school in history. Ever since then, the laws that forbid women from medicine were repealed in the USA and other parts of the world.

Miss Blackwell was an inspiration for many around Europe. One of her ambitious students, “Elizabeth Anderson”, wanted to follow her steps to achieve her dream of becoming a doctor. At the time, the idea of female doctors was not yet accepted in European universities or society. So, Miss Anderson had to teach herself medical subjects, and with that, she was able to open her own mini-clinic, to the outrage of society. However, by 1866, Cholera had changed the circumstances and her mini-clinic became effective in treating people, and since they only wanted to be cured they did not care about their doctor’s gender. Though, Elizabeth Anderson did not escape hater’s labels! A male doctor claimed at the time that medicine applies severe stress and exertion on females that causes future sterility, but Elizabeth replied that the only cause of exertion to women is boredom caused by being settled at home. Since then she had gotten married and had 3 daughters, one of whom also became a doctor, and later was able to open the very first university in the world that accepts females exclusively in medical fields.

All in all, Merit Ptah’s, Agnodice’s, Elizabeth Blackwell’s, Elizabeth Anderson’s and many other’s impressive success stories approve that women can do anything with their determination and passion.

As Alia Bhatt, a British actress, once said: “Whatever you do, do with determination. You have one life to live; do your work with passion and do your best. Whether you want to become a chef, a doctor, an actress or a mother, be passionate to get the best results”. After all, who still insists that medicine is not for females?!

VIVIAN THOMAS: From A Carpenter To

Saving Millions Of Lives

Yara Shwabkek November 29th 1944 a pediatric surgeon and chief of surgery at one of the most prestigious medical school in the world (Johns Hopkins School of medicine) requested a “black unschooled former carpenter” in the operating room to guide him in the first pediatric open-heart surgery.

This man was Vivien Thomas, Vivien Thomas was an African-American boy with a dream to become a doctor, he worked as a carpenter until saving enough money to attend med school. Unfortunately after the Great Depression in 1930s Thomas lost his savings and his hope in attending med school. Weeks after, Thomas started working as a janitor in an experimental surgical lab where he met Dr.Alfred Blalock a pediatric surgeon.

Dr. Blalock noticed Thomas’s talent, passion and fast learning so he asked Vivian to accompany him to John’s Hopkins where Vivian assisted Dr. Blalock in the experimental lab and actually runs it, even though his official job was a janitor. When Thomas wear his lab coat and made his way to the lab many head turned and whispered as the only black employee in the building was a janitor, but his passion to learning, high dedication to Dr. Blalock research lab and ethics made him stand out and gain respect.

Dr. Taussig ( a pediatric cardiologist) brought the attention of the “blue baby syndrome” to Dr. Blalock and the hope to find a surgical treatment. Blue baby syndrome is a congenital heart defect creating oxygen deprivation and a blue pallor. Meanwhile Dr. Blalock wondered and asked questions, Thomas searched and found answers. Thomas was charged with a task of creating a blue baby-like condition in a dog then correcting the condition surgically. Among the dogs on whom Thomas operated was one named Anna who became the first long-time survivor, Blalock was impressed with Thomas’s work when he saw Anna and kept saying “This looks like something the Lord made” . After this success in dogs level, the time to operate on a kid and save a life has arrived, Thomas stood on a step stool and guided Dr. Blalock through the whole surgery as Thomas performed the operation hundreds of times on dogs, whereas Blalock only once as Thomas' assistant.

The baby color turned from blue to pink almost instantly and the surgery was a success.

Regularly doctors wondered who was the black man speaking to Dr. Blalock, Thomas never scrubbed in as an assistant and never touched an instruments or a patient but it was Thomas who made history. Through years surgeons flew from all around the world to learn and observe from Thomas even though he’s not a physician.

Walking in to Johns Hopkins in his first day as black janitor he didn’t even imagine one day that he would have his picture hanged along side with the most prestigious white physicians and he would be presented with an honorary decorate from the hospital he worked in as a janitor.

THE ENIGMA OF THE DOUBLE HELIX Farah Bani Hani

Are we in a time when expectations should no longer be a predictive value?

It is not a secret that most breakthroughs started off as basic ideas in the minds of people like you and me. Every single concept, principle, or invention you encounter nowadays was once merely a semi-wired dream coming from a place of sheer need or just simply a creative outburst of sorts. From there comes the beauty of knowledge; it does not appear in neat, well-sorted quanta, but in fact appears as raw interrupted units. Whether we’re talking about penicillin, the microscope, credit cards, or even fast food chains; it all started off as an idea that had the potential of succeeding based on many variables, dedicated exclusively to that specific place and time.

DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, three short letters that represent life itself, was once considered a far-fetched enigma. It all started in the 1860s when Swiss chemist Johann Friedrich Miescher set off to discover the constituents of white blood cells by obtaining pus covered bandages from a nearby clinic. Despite the limited resources of that time and lack of information on how to handle such fragile organic substances, Miescher discovered a molecule, Nuclein; which would later be proclaimed the basis of existence. This discovery was not considered a breakthrough then; there was not enough evidence to distinguish it from other well-known proteins at that time, regardless of the fact that the molecule reacted differently to acidic and alkaline solutions when compared it to other proteins. After years of research, Miescher set off to extract Nuclein in its pure form; during those years of research, he was hesitant to communicate his idea to the scientific community until he was finally confident enough to publish his research in 1874. For many years after his work was made public, scientists believed that Nuclein simply wasn’t complex enough to contain all of the information necessary to make up a genome. Although his work was appreciated, it was still not widely accepted to believe that all of the variation seen within single species can be attributed to one kind of molecule.

Less than a decade after those events, a German biochemist named Albrecht Kossel made a huge advancement in understanding Nuclein in a way that made it more practical than theoretical as it once was, In 1881 Albrecht identified Nuclein as a nucleic acid and gave it its present designated name, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). He also managed to isolate the five nucleotide bases that are the building blocks of DNA and RNA: adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil. He received the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1910 for his work.

The story of discovering the human genome, did not stop there, many scientists made tremendous contributions over the years such as Mendel’s principles of single gene inheritance and Landsteiner’s discovery of blood groups, two major discoveries which are regarded up to this day as the stepping stones to what is considered one of the most remarkable breakthroughs made in the 20th century; the discovery of the DNA double helix.

In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure that made up our DNA, it was at a time where genetic information was heavily analyzed, which opened the floodgates to further discoveries. Giving life to one of humanity’s biggest projects; The Human Genome Project, allowing the sequencing of genetic material, creating the most intricate map created by man, linking variants in the sequences to thousands of diseases and genetic disorders.

But, to link specific sequences with diseases is not enough, there has already been significant progress in finding cures to some common diseases such as Eczema and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, two diseases directly linked to genetic mutations. But the best is yet to come, the discovery of the double helix has granted the key to manufacturing a number of human gene products which will pave the way to the eradication of genetic disorders, some of which is already being used today such as the Hepatitis B vaccine, a DNA vaccine accessible and free worldwide.

Contrary to popular opinions, the discovery of the DNA simply cannot be accredited to one person, this is a story that started back in the 1800s with little to no expectations and ended with a final product that is incomprehensible with boundless powers yet to be discovered, the human genome project produced the code of mankind, and as long as humans exist, the code will never lose its purpose. Although some people would find it difficult to believe that there could be further breakthroughs in the field of genetics, the moral of this story clearly predicts that we have not reached the end, in fact, we can’t be further than the end, for that we say, expectations do not exist in the face of wondrous minds thirsty for knowledge.

THE FOOTSTEPS OF A DREAM Nour Bazzari At this moment in time I don’t have a microphone for you to hear my voice or to see me for who I am, so my hands and eyes will map out what my mouth wants to say. Hello, my name is Nour Bazzari, but my name is not a history lesson just yet. I am 11 years old and here’s a little bit about me; I was born in North Carolina, that’s where I lived for only a little bit of my life, smooth start oh yeah! I always loved drawing, coloring and singing, bottom line is I’ve always been an expresso, get it express-o… But here is where the story changes, one doctor visit changed the way I saw the world, I was diagnosed with a cancer that affects the retina of the eye called Retinoblastoma. Now, I’m not going to go full on Julia Roberts drama scene, I’m just going to say that I am grateful to see the world the way I do. When I was 5 years old I got the news of moving to Dubai, followed by news of moving again to Kuwait when I was 6, but little did I know that both were temporary stations. After I turned 11 early this year me and my sister finally got the news we always wanted, the big move back to the US. I was feeling super unicorn marshmallow rainbow happy, I can’t tell you everything, but what I can tell you is that I am happy to be able to start school and spend time with my family but if you want all this info in a nutshell you better get a factory… There is no ending to this story yet!

In life we all think that the most amazing opportunities come from life; the places we visit, the inspiration we give ourselves and that's where we are wrong. The chances, the inspiration, the construction truck waiting to be sent to your path. The people, the invitation, their mind set the words they will give you and their mouths the smooth sticker that they will choose to open and send themselves to your mailbox of hope, now this was the case with me; a couple years back I was a broke college student living in Kuwait, the only thing that would make me want to get out of bed was the false hope that had found a permanent space in my life. I didn't wake up to hearing kids laughing or a school bus gently parking outside, I woke up to sound of garbage being pressed down hardly by a cab, I was given the smell of dust penetrating through my window, I couldn’t even grip my own reality. My eyes rolled like my tooth brush after being thrown aggressively into a dirty glass, I couldn't even wear a hoodie because of the weather, so my pain stuck around like the only bandaid that could cover my wounds. Now I knew I didn't want to live like this, I didn't want dust in my lungs, garbage sounds in my ears, or pain in the open, I wanted something bigger so I went to research at my local library, now here's where the invitation came, some person had dropped off a book called the “USA: Success and Fame” I glanced over at the man and when he left I snuggled myself onto that wooden chair, hands falling into that small gap of the book where the pages slept, it was like the hands of a witch falling into a potion cabinet that was waiting. I started to read and I got inspired, as inspired as a broadway star seeing and enjoying another performance, wanting to strive to do better, to accomplish, to thrive! At that moment life recorded my happiest seconds, I curiously wandered to the USA. The only thing I knew about the US was that everyone ate cheeseburger all day while sitting on a comfy sofa, watching food network, now I have realized it was more than that, but the only click I wanted at that moment, was the click of a seatbelt on an American Airlines flight to New York city.

I bolted out of the library as I felt unstable, up, down, side to side, I turned fast as my heart pounded, everyone was staring at me, what is he doing they mumbled. There I felt like graffiti on the wall with my shapes and all the funny movements. I finally arrived to my lousy apartment, which I treated like a bus stop, grabbing my essentials and escaping the cove, repeat…I hailed a cab and there was not much of a conversation, so I decided to look out the window each view like a snapshot being thrown behind me or like how you would throw pedals into a body of water sliding and drifting diving away,

THE FOOTSTEPS OF A DREAM Nour Bazzari

still knowing you are chasing something better. A wolf doesn't look at a baby rabbit as a meal if it sees the mama, it's going after her. I arrived to the airport while shuffling through my bag finding enough money to tip this man, he had a raspy old man kind of voice, I put it in his box at the front of the cab Which was filled with mint bubblegum and his own business cards. I opened the door to harsh dusty wind on my face, I went in, swiftly got past security and finally arrived at the boarding desk. At that moment the silence had reached me, it was holding me. Am I doing this, my inner logic asked, am I? The lady waved her hand, her dark red lips took me back to reality like a portal, I said thank you for the boarding pass as I started maneuvering across some people to my seat with an overwhelming feeling of pride.

With each step I took I got a hunch on my back, wanting to shrink into my own thought bubble, I finally have what I've been waiting for. I looked out the window while the plane was taxing, I slowly had the room turn black.

I woke up 9 hours later in confusion holding both of the little flaps on the sides of my seat like a captain holding his wheel on deck, I looked at my surroundings and ohh I'm going to the USA to pursue my dreams and have a better life. Then I looked over to my right and saw this woman, she was probably European from the way she dressed and spoke, she was watching some Boston fight club movie, probably trying to learn how the people acted in the USA so I watched the same movie but fell asleep halfway through, all I learned was that Boston is small and wow the violence! My alarm to wake up was the pilot announcing that we were landing, I felt the plane starting to descend and have you realized the word landing has so many charcuterie; it can be a ballerina landing on her tip toes on a stage in France or landing at a dream destination, and basically that's what the US is for me. When I got off the plane I had felt a harsh wind blast through the tiny slits, I barely passed security because of the intense confusion, I hopped into a taxi that dropped me off at a motel with no shower, toilet sink, one ant bed, seriously crawling with ants, no window, an empty mini fridge and me.

I love it my new instincts sprouted so obviously, The first day I slept like a hibernating squirt, the second was pretty strange I looked around the city with a map, at that point I lived in the middle of New York, I had a map for manhattan, I got peed on by a dog and got ripped off with a 28 dollar Burger. The next day I tried making friends but they showed a noway signal. The third, I didn't want to leave the motel because that seemed the proper thing to do, that same night I didn't sleep, the city that literally never sleeps uhhhhhh was my initial line.

After a week I started applying for McDonald’s, got the job but hated it, it was a struggle in the shortest term but after two months of this I couldn't take it, I got up and realized hey let's use my degree which was in Geography. I became a hard working teacher here, now the days of complete emptiness filled up so much. I found a tunnel where light was my guide and I wasn’t waiting for a signal anymore, The end. Class that was my backstory and now I need all of you to turn to page 36 and always remember there is no end to this infinite journey.

THE MAN WHO CUT HIMSELF OPEN Ahmad AlMaghariah

Even though every surgery needs precautions and has its own risks, surgeries are still the go to approach when all less invasive therapeutic measures fail. As we all know, they should be performed in a controlled environment by qualified personnel and under careful observation. But what if you required an immediate surgical intervention and the only person available to do it was you?

Let me introduce you to Leonid Rogozov, a Soviet general practitioner who adjourned his surgical training to take part in the the sixth Soviet Antarctic expedition. While working as the sole doctor for the Novolazarevskaya Station (an Antarctic research station, i.e. the middle of freaking nowhere), he developed a case of acute appendicitis that required an immediate surgery.

What could you possibly do when you’re stranded on the south pole, being the only doctor on the continent, with a mechanic as your assistant, and in dire need of an emergency surgery? You guessed it..

He had to operate on himself, making him one of the famous cases of self-surgery throughout history.

This major surgery, which is ordinarily performed under general anesthesia, had to be done under local anesthesia this time. The expedition’s mechanic held a mirror for the peculiar doctor to carve out his guts. Good thing they had a mirror on them, I guess he brought it along to fix his hair not knowing he’ll be needing it to to see his abdomen and cut it open.

Dr. Rogozov opened a 12 cm incision in his abdominal wall, accidentally injured his Cecum and had to suture it, all the while probably thinking ‘’I should’ve completed my surgical residency’’. He proceeded to resect the appendix and apply local antibiotics directly inside the peritoneal cavity. The Surgery was a success and Rogozov lived to eventually become the head of surgery department at Saint Petersburg Research Institute for Tubercular Pulmonology.

Unfortunately, having the superpower to perform a major surgery with local anesthesia on yourself doesn’t protect you from the grim reaper. In 2000, Dr. Rogozov Died at the age of 66 from lung cancer.

CREATING YOUR OWN LUCK? Muayad Azzam

Whether it is during our school or medical education, while reading, or seeing it on an “edgy” Instagram post, most of us have encountered the word “Serendipity.” Although relatively familiar to many people, serendipity as a concept is occasionally misunderstood or incorrectly mixed up with “Chance”; both scoffing at and belittling the term and its concept.

Some of the brightest and most innovative minds in history have believed in Serendipity, and even used it to their advantage, such that one in ten of highly cited scientific papers mention serendipity as a contributing factor. The concept of serendipity has been thought to be the principal basis for scientific creativity. Robert Hooke, the scientist who discovered cells, described the importance of serendipity in research in the 17th century. Surely these great scientific minds have not put this much importance to mere “Chance”.

Although holding the concept of chance serendipity goes well beyond it. The idea of a research or invention might appear by chance, or by external factors that might drive the research in a beneficial direction; nonetheless, it takes proper observational and management skills to know what to do with those “lucky events.” Serendipity results from the ability to identify fortuitous events; the ability to identify meaningful combinations of two or more events that are not casually related; and the ability to act upon such events. Serendipity can be brilliantly explained as “to see bridges where others see holes” thus unlocking a fortunate event’s true potential.

Thousands upon thousands of people would have died from infections had Penicillin not have been discovered. The structure of DNA would not have been unraveled, and DNA research would be a lengthy and expensive process as the PCR technique would not have been part of our labs today. All these discoveries were “opportunistic” and occurred while their discoverers were in search of an entirely different thing. These and many more great discoveries would have remained a mystery without “Serendipity”.

Due to the major role Serendipity has in our scientific community, research about it is being conducted.

Some of the studies established numerous models on how the process of serendipity takes place in the minds that were willing to absorb and analyze the event and convert it to a valuable outcome. It has also been concluded that, Serendipity does not only occur when chance chooses an individual but, also as a result of placing protocols and methods that would allow chance to choose them. “No scientific discovery can, with any justice, be considered due to accident … Such accidents never happen to common men” So, what can we take from this? Although chance and “good fortune” do play a role, what is also important is what you do with such opportunities when they present themselves. This is not applicable only for scientific research but also in our daily lives. Just like great scientists structure there project in ways that allow serendipity to present itself, we must also structure our lives in a similar manner. We must stay aware of such opportunities when they present themselves, and act upon them. So, keep your eyes open, because you never know when life might give you a glimpse of Serendipity that gives you the chance to exceed your expectations.

I draw to expel out whatever feelings are stuck in my soul, bad or good, so it can be less heavy. I draw when I'm angry, cheerful, sad, excited, or even bored. These drawings mean my feelings, some in a random way and some in a delicate way and the effort put into each one of them describes what they mean to me. To understand them more deeply take a look with you soul and not just bare eyes.

JUST-LC A Prosperous Collaboration

Since the establishment of IFMSA- JUST local committee, we have been working alongside the faculty’s deanship; establishing a strong relationship. This relation is reflected in many aspects of IFMSA’s work, such as establishing various partnerships and contacting various externals.

IFMSA JUST LC has always had the goal of having an official office inside the university, as it would be extremely beneficial. An official request has been submitted to the deanship a year ago, which has been received with an open heart, and a willing hand for help. On the 5th of July, 2017, the dean of JUST faculty of medicine, Dr Wael Hayajneh, officially launched IFMSA JUST LC office. It was a remarkable day when JUST LC's officials were handed the keys, as we all witnessed the true quantum leap that our JUST LC family took. Since then it has been used to hold official meetings, gatherings, also presenting certificates to all our dedicated members.

There are many other examples of the great cooperation with our deanship. IFMSA-Jo’s partnership with KAUH is operated through the deanship; providing us with all needed halls, labs and approvals for holding our projects and events, also helping with contacting any of the hospital’s different departments and doctors.

All members who work within JUST LC have received the enormity of advantages which are the results of the cooperation with our deanship. Through this cooperation, we were able to gain unique recognition when contacting any external and earn their respect and trust. Furthermore, our deanship's constant support has given many opportunities for participation in international assemblies and conferences. Not to mention the definite high regard and honour we are given by their attendance at our events, conferences, and various workshops.

Being the first Team of officials in UJ-LC’s history to have a term last for one and a half years to work in concordance with the national team, we knew from the beginning that it would be a big challenge and that we must work as a family to achieve the vision of UJLC.

Fadfed We faced obstacles that we cheerfully overcame, most important of which was the feeling members had that they were not being heard. That was managed by "Fadfed”: a monthly feedback forms that were posted on UJLC official group each month to hear what they think, what suggestions they have, and what are the problems they face.

LGA As the UJLC database was getting bigger and many of the newer members did not have the chance to participate in NGA; we managed to hold our first Local General Assembly (LGA) which was a fun, interactive, and bond strengthening event that gathered the ambitious souls of UJLC who envision a brighter future.

SCORE Research is now a mandatory requirement for graduating from the University of Jordan, but students complained they have no basic knowledge going about research and its methodologies, so we held an informative research workshop that highlighted the basics and managed to guide the participants into their first steps in research.

SCORA SCORA members felt that they lacked the appropriate communication skills and necessary information concerning some SCORA related topics, so we created a “baseline assessment survey” to gain an insight into the extend of knowledge our membership has and assess the need for volunteers training before our events.

SCOME, SCOPH, and SCORP For SCOME, SCOPH, and SCORP, we tried to ensure the quality of these projects by having pre and post evaluation forms, thankfully most of them had the results we aimed for. In addition to having a wide variety of events from SCOME and SCOPH, which managed to be elected as the two most active committees based on a voting posted earlier in the term, the events this term mainly focused on skills and knowledge, such as act as a doctor, surgical skills, and sports medicine (for SCOME), drug misuse, color blindness, doctors runway (for SCOPH) and others.

SCOPE SCOPE has showed tremendous effort this term with events like their two Ramadan Iftars, Football tournament, and an amazing team for the exchange season who received positive feedback about the hospitality and generosity and services provided.

Elections As for elections of the new team, UJLC guidelines were updated based on the vision of the respected EB members about the experience and qualifications the candidate must have, face to face interviews were also held for a fairer evaluation of the future leaders of UJLC. Having said all of that, on behalf of UJLC TO, I wish the new team best of luck and I hope they continue what we helped to build, learn from our mistakes, and aim for better chances for the volunteers of UJLC members.

HU-LC RECAP If you would go back to the March 2018 edition of the magazine you would find in HULC’s section, and I quote, “HULC started this term with full power, and we are planning on keeping it that way” and we indeed did; this term was full of prosperous projects that led HU to the TOP!! So here is a quick review of what has been going on.

Blood donation project Because what’s a better way for everyone to save a life than to donate blood?! In about a month we were able to collect about 210 blood units, from HU and GJU, which could mean that 210 lives were saved! We also organized a workshop as well, but there are still many more steps to this project, and many more lives to be saved, all credits go to our beloved leader Qusai Odeh.

Elderly abuse This project is all about humanity. It, so far, involved 2 visits to an elderly home. One involved volunteers serving breakfast to the elderly, and the other was spending time and having iftar with them during Ramadan.

The team’s efforts left them with utmost joy and happiness after throwing them a little party. this couldn’t have been done without the planning of our awesome leader Mohammed Mohsen.

Ramadan Events Ramadan is all about getting together and feeling the spirits of kindness, love, and joy. Keeping with that, we held 2 iftars; a one with orphans were we booked an amusement park and had them playing all day long this is all due to the efforts of the amazing Shakir Al-izzi. Another was in collaboration with UJ-LC, where we spent some good times and sang some really awful songs.

World Cup The extravaganza of the World Cup couldn’t have been complete without us holding a fun event to watch the final, because who would want to miss that! This project is all due to the efforts of our great leader Abdullah Al-Ajarmeh.

Future Heroes Another awesome project under the umbrella of SCORP, led by the greatest Sara Badran, was a medical day held in Gaza refugee camp in Jerash; with UJ and the help of ‫ ﺑﺼﻤﺘﻚ ﺣﺘﻌﻠﻢ‬, the day consisted of a general examination for the children there and a fun day full of games.

MU-LC September 25th, 2017 is a day I will never forget. It was the first day of an amazing journey, the first of a lot of amazings in my article, you’ve been warned.

The standing committee on public health, or SCOPH for short, focuses mainly on spreading awareness, early detection of diseases, and promoting healthy lifestyles. What we did in MU-LC is a mixture of those things, and much more!

We've started the term with 2 campaigns, “BloodHeroes” and “Amazing Kidneys”. I will start with BloodHeroes, th blood donation campaign. It was supposed to start before December 2017, but due to various issues with sponsors and the deanship of the university we weren't allowed to conduct a blood drive. We were even told by the deanship to stop trying to obtain an approval, but being headstrong and with commitment to the cause, we managed to skip on the approvals by collaborating with the Medical Club; a university based club. After facing the issues we had, “BloodHeroes” were able to acquire 104 blood units in their first step alone, it was the first time that a single blood drive in the south would gather this much blood units.

Amazing, right?

In addition, SCOPHeros were able to conduct 3 blood drives after that, hopefully saving many lives.

When I say amazing, I truly mean it because SCOPHeros didn't stop there!

As for the truly amazing “Amazing Kidneys” campaign, the team faced many troubles and barriers including lack of sponsors, material, and ideas. The team started with a medical day where they screened the public and talked about kidney diseases, but they didn’t know what to do next. After a few shortcomings, the team leader asked to shut down the campaign, or change the standing committee and team leader. I still remember the phone call with the leader, it started with uncertainty but ended with the phrase "MU-LC will be proud" and of course, it’s very proud today.

Soon after that phone call, the team conducted a session about kidney diseases at an event at a private school to a class of 6th graders. That was the spark that made the “Amazing Kidneys” campaign reach over 2000 student. It made a huge impact over the south region. Over 13 schools were visited, and 5 training sessions facilitated. After countless nights and struggles SCOPHeros did not fall short of delivering their message.

As Tony Robbins said ''The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment."

And at MU-LC, we have a great imagination and are very committed. I truly believe that we had exceeded the expectations.

As a Small girl who grew up in an Arab country that is too committed to traditions and have a wrong idea about awareness , I want to tell my story with the menstrual cycle .

When I reached the age of 14 , I noticed some changes in my body but I didn’t know what was going on because no one has told me anything , after few month I got my period ( well I didn’t know it was period back then ) .

I was so disturbed , confused , scared and worried , I thought it was a deformity in my body or I just have this really serious illness and I am going to die soon , cause again and again nobody has told me what would happen with me in such an age .

I didn’t tell any of my parents cause my feelings were shattered , and u can imagine all the other sequences this thing caused .

I know that if I ever got the appropriate awareness about cycle , everything would have been better .

Dear moms, don’t hesitate to give your daughters the right awareness , even if u didn’t get it when u were their ages It’s better for you , her and for the whole society .

SCOME Would ME Inspire You! One in five students drops out of college or change their speciality before graduation. With that in mind, I have spent my time getting educated by people, talking about education and why we are not satisfied with it, and spending my whole time talking and educating others about it.

I know it is in ME. Well, some may say our education is falling apart and all because we always looking for blame, who got it wrong, who is not experienced; building all these assumptions. We tend to expect quick and easy change; we express our thoughts from inside, but never outside where we have to stand for them. Our role as students is to speak our minds with proper manner and in a very planned way, not everyone is right and not everyone is wrong , because everyone has a different background and dreams of what they can achieve from their education; someone could fall in love in chemistry and anatomy and feel they completed their education compared to someone who wants to do it all and no amount of knowledge will ever be enough, so they pursue more degrees and researches. Make sure your goals are clear, and accept the existence of differences between students so that we can strive to have equal education for everyone everywhere.

Students don’t learn from people they don’t like; human connection and relationships are important for education as well, our future professors, supervisors, deans, and your peers are all here to educate you. We just need that spark that made us fall in love with their humanity and efforts, to enjoy our education and learn. It doesn’t stop when you graduate or when you are older teaching other young smurfs. We must realize that the culture of education changes as minds grow in each generation, so when we see something that doesn’t go well we try to learn why did it go wrong, then we analyse what are our solutions, give them to the dean, teacher, or yourself sometimes so we make sure we enact change one step a time, that’s how we would make a better education .

Let Medical Education (ME) inspires all You(th).

What does it take to Succeed in School?

What would you say is the best student trait? What determines an “A” student from a “C” student? Well, this got me thinking about how I saw many great and smart students but who don’t get good grades. Our schools are a good place for education and are expert in measuring IQ through standardized testing and calculating grades; giving chances to “A” students.

But, it is not all about grades. I have over the past 7 years watched most of my classmates and what they do with their lives, their study habits and how it reflects on grades, and I know that all of them would get great grades with more time, but that was not the only thing that got us all to end. What got me thinking is the education of students and learning from a motivational perspective, what if doing well in education and life is much more important than getting the best grades? One of the surveys conducted by Dr Angela Lee from Pennsylvania University that looked into students, from kids, adults and military, and their graduation rates came to the conclusion that it is not intelligence, not IQ, not social interaction, but GRIT! Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals. Grit is having stamina, sticking with the future you envision day-in-day-out, not just for a week, not just for a month but for years to come. Grit is living life like a marathon, not a sprint. How do we get grit, this motivation?! The honest answer is no one knows, but what we could say is fighting every day and accepting our failures and mistakes but learn lessons from it is what would make us grittier!

SCOPH Why public health?

Throughout my journey in IFMSA locally, nationally, and internationally, I have always been asked "Why public health?" A question asked by family, friends, IFMSAians, and even non-IFMSAians, why public health, not Medical education, Exchanges or Researches? What's so special about and attracted me to public health? Well, I'm writing this article to answer you all!

As an individual who was brought up in the advantageous environment of private schools his entire life, and has a dentist father in the Jordanian Royal Medical Services (JRMS), I’ve been given the privilege of living in comfort. My parents have been able to provide me with all what's needed, and I’ve never really had a lot of hardships in getting appropriate health care. I realize that I am very blessed in this sense; I also realize that most of the world’s populations are not as lucky as I am.

Before you get annoyed, I’m honestly not stating these things to brag or to sound callous. I’m stating them because I realize that I can use these privileges to hopefully bring education, resources, adequate health care, and peace to individuals and groups–the marginalized–that have not been afforded the advantages that I have.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice... Health care is the most shocking and inhumane." Public health is the field for people who care about the wellbeing of fellow human beings. It is the study by which we test how to achieve universal health coverage (UHC), the way to achieve the real concept of "Health for All" where health is a right for all individuals, and thus allow them to fulfill their potential with dignity and equality, and in a healthy environment; that children should not die from preventable deaths, or that people should not be pushed into poverty for accessing health services. To live in a world where everyone can live, healthy, productive lives regardless of who they are and where they live.

When I think about public health I think about preventing diseases, and not just putting Band-Aids on them, putting plans in place to make it easier for people to achieve their health goals (making the environment healthier, not just people), and I think about creating services for communities and not just individuals.

SCOPH Why public health?

Central to treating communities is eliminating health disparities and inequities. Health promotion is not just the responsibility of the governmental health sector, but the responsibility of each and every one of us as active members of the community.

Millions of people are alive today thanks to a handful of public health initiatives, such as vaccination programs, motor vehicle safety laws and awareness programs, restrictions on tobacco and smoking, family planning, and clean air and water standards. These programs have led to increased life expectancies, worldwide reductions in infant and child mortality, and eradication or reduction of many communicable diseases.

The field of public health is constantly evolving in response to the needs of communities and populations around the world. Its underlying mission is to improve the conditions and behaviours that affect health, as to make them more sustainable. That mission includes not only the practice of public health policy, but the research of public health issues and the education of future leaders who eventually will translate that research into practices and policies to improve the health of people on all levels.

Why is public health important?

Because public health initiatives affect people every day in every part of the world; it addresses broad issues that affect the health and well-being of individuals, families, communities, populations, and societies—both now, and for generations to come.

I have always believed that what we do as medical students in SCOPH is nothing but the key to make us great public health officers as physicians and impactful people in our community.

So I hope you now know why I have been working in public health for over 5 years now, putting the utmost effort, with full dedication and high motivation to contribute to the field of public health and have a real impact for the sake of our families, friends, and communities.

FATAL FUMES Ahmad Abbadi Since the establishment of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1946, tobacco has been a core instigator of the country’s serious health diseases. Considered an integral part of the culture and social norms, the serving of tobacco was an indication of one’s hospitality towards guests. Jordanians equate the practice of smoking with the commemoration of achieved manhood and adulthood. Even now, Jordanian society is still negatively impacted by the image associated with smoking and tobacco use imprinted by tobacco companies and facilitated by the exceptional wealth such companies possess.

Tobacco companies are pioneers in research and marketing; despite global efforts to decrease tobacco consumption, companies’ sales and profit are still increasing dramatically. The supportive environment of the early 20th century due to the general lack of awareness about the harm of tobacco and the use of appealing advertisements contributed to their solid foundations. Back then, despite socioeconomic status or educational background, the majority of Jordanian society normalized the use of tobacco, and cigarettes we00re positively depicted on billboards and television ads! Starting from 1948, the following research on tobacco’s contribution to deleterious diseases like cancer and heart diseases, strong awareness campaigns have been on the rise in western countries, and legislation was implemented to protect citizens from the harms of tobacco usage. This transition led tobacco companies to pursue new customers in less regulated countries that are in need of financial support, with minimal threat to their new markets.

As a result, Jordan has become a primary market, and in spite of community organized efforts, the numbers of smokers are still soaring! Although younger generations are more aware of the harms of tobacco and its severe consequences, the rates of tobacco consumption are alarmingly high among them. Water pipes are a new form of tobacco consumption that has successfully normalized usage, similarly, across males and females. Due to cultural gender norms, cigarettes were perceived as inappropriate social behaviour for women, yet the advertisement of water pipes has eliminated this stigma. A common water pipe session is equivalent to smoking 200-60 cigarettes and delivers nicotine to the user, leading to addiction. Evidently, children and youth who observe their parents smoking shisha will be more inclined to accept it as normal and may very likely join their parents as permanent customers to tobacco companies.

The Ministry of Tourism defends waterpipe usage as a tool for promoting Jordanian tourism, further aggravating the promotion of the harmful habit of smoking. Additionally, even with the existence of a legal license or the lack thereof, the number of restaurants and cafes that serve water pipes are in multitude making it extremely difficult to find a smoke-free one. Other forms of tobacco use that are popular include Medwakh, E-cigarettes, and heating devices (IQOS). Due to the youth’s immature development of the prefrontal cortex and susceptibility to the appeal of exploration, some become easy targets to the swaying persuasion of tobacco companies’ advertisements.

Heedlessly, those young adolescents become exposed to more health hazards. For example, E-cigarettes are a major contributor to popcorn lung disease, an irreversible pulmonary disease. The production and maintenance of e-smoking liquid and devices are unregulated and unmonitored. As a result, multiple incidents of E-cigarettes exploding have been documented, highlighting the immediate danger of such products.

Medwakh, a popular form of tobacco in countries in the Arabian Gulf, is becoming widespread in its use among the youth. The tobacco products are made from different ingredients and multitude of degrees of intensity. Through increased addiction, users of these tobacco blends continue to seek stronger substances and novel highs

FATAL FUMES Ahmad Abbadi The combination of advertisements, production of tobacco products, and the strong tobacco industry lobby contribute to the current statistics confirming more than %70 of Jordanian male smokers and the %10 of female smokers. The accessibility of tobacco in public transportation, restaurants, and public spaces increase the risk of second-hand smoking. unfortunately, spaces occupied by youth and teenagers, such as PlayStation stores, internet cafes, and athletic events are marked by the public consumption of tobacco without regard to the harmful effects on surrounding passersby.

Tobacco usage is the leading preventable cause of cancer, among other diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and COPD. It does not stop at chronic diseases, but also affects the skin concerns including hair baldness and wrinkles, and increased risk for cavities and teeth loss.

Recently, tobacco companies have invested to further promote smoking and tobacco usage on television shows during the holy month of fasting, Ramadan. It was extremely hard to find a show that does not feature a person smoking in every episode, with a leading character to use tobacco products at least once in that show. Besides the entertainment and media sector, tobacco usage is advertised as an integral part of family life, as tobacco companies portray products such as water pipes in tents and booths used for Ramadan iftars, and are put next to camping and outdoor events equipment.

Although the danger of tobacco use and smoking is looming, recent amendments to Health Law (2008/47) have increased fines for tobacco promotions from 25-15 JODs to 3,000-1,000 JODs. The law’s policies have addressed many loopholes and strategies used by tobacco companies for promotion. Amman Greater Municipality has stopped giving new licenses for cafes and restaurants to serve water pipes and is rather implementing a strict monitoring to ensure that policies are being enforced.

Smoke-free zones are being created in restaurants and cafes that serve water pipes with some-free entrances, offering a chance for nonsmokers to enjoy quality time and social activities without fear of the effects of tobacco. New cooperation with Cybercrimes Police will enable law enforcement and detect individuals who use social media and other platforms for tobacco promotions in an effective mechanism to decreasing the overall platforms for tobacco advertisements while increasing the revenues to the government. Greater Amman Municipality has also been working with Bloomberg Philanthropies towards making Amman a Healthy City by concretely addressing tobacco control and work on solid enforcement strategies.

The King Hussain Cancer Foundation initiative for Smoke-free Zones is another powerful tool that helps implementation of such law and policies in workplaces and schools. This initiative provides institutions with the tools necessary to implement a smoke-free environment and rewards those who succeed in an annual event.

The work of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) is increasingly evident with the rise of public campaigns and continued partnerships among tobacco control NGOs with Ministry of Health and World Health Organization, and more youth participation among their volunteers and organizers.

The Ministry of Health is opening a fifth tobacco cessation clinic in Zarqa governorate, which will provide tobacco dependence treatment for Jordanians, at no costs.

However, the wide gap between the statistics of tobacco usage and the efforts of community, government, and state organizing is indicative of the social and legislative changes needed. For a change to occur, we all share a social responsibility for our own sake and those we care about. If you are a current smoker, persevere to quit and abide by health laws that prevent smoking in public places. If you are a lawmaker, diligently support increasing tobacco taxation, FCTC and MPOWER. If you are a non-smoker, speak up! Speak up when you are forced to inhale tobacco fumes and demand the law to be implemented. It takes all of us to stand together in will and action to end this epidemic and declare a Tobacco-Free Jordan.

WE WORK FROM OUR HEART FOR OUR PLANET AND CUSTOMERS. AND WE SELL COFFEE. SPONSORED BY

WAYNE’S COFFEE

Welcome to the world of Wayne’s Coffee! The place where guests are offered the most natural meeting place and an assortment of high-quality products.

Wayne’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle is embedded in the core of its business operations by focusing on organic, healthy and made in store products.

Wayne’s objective is to offer the ultimate fika. It may sound like a grandiose statement, but the coffee shop has been driven by this search since it opened its doors to the first coffee shop on Kungsgatan in Stockholm.

The ultimate fika has several connotations. It refers to all the good things being served to the music that is played in the loudspeakers. It provides a break from the busy everyday life when you relax in a cosy armchair and it allows you to share a moment with a good friend.

But Wayne’s is not only about what you see in their coffee shops. It is also about the positive change they want to achieve in people’s lives, and for the environment at large. It is about contributing to make our planet greener.

Wayne’s is the first Swedish chain of coffee shops to be KRAV labelled and the long-term goal is for everything you eat and drink in their coffee shops to be organic. Fewer additives, more small-scale plantations and the absence of pesticides leave behind a better aftertaste. This helps them serve a fika that tastes even better. They also try to make as much of the fika onsite, in the coffee shops. That way, you can be sure that it’s always fresh and that you have the choice between as many healthy options as possible.

Swedish fika has a special place in Wayne’s heart and therefore the work to provide excellent black filter coffee and heavenly cinnamon buns in Jordan will remain relentless.
