INTRODUCTION TO IFMSA The International Federation of Medical Students’ Association (IFMSA) is a non-profit, nongovernmental organization representing associations of medical students worldwide. IFMSA was founded in 1951 and currently maintains 133 National Member Organizations from 123 countries across six continents, representing a network of 1.3 million medical students.

IFMSA is recognized as a non-governmental organization within the United Nations system

and the World Health Organization and works in collaboration with the World Medical Association. IFMSA envisions a world in which medical students unite for global health and are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to take on health leadership roles locally and globally, to shape a sustainable and health future.

INTRODUCTION TO SCORE The Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE) is one of the six standing committees of the International Federation of Medical Students Association (IFMSA). SCORE was founded in 1991 as the Standing Committee on Electives Exchange (SCOEE). Because the term ‘Electives’ was too confusing, in 1998 the name of this IFMSA standing committee was changed to SCORE. SCORE supervises and coordinates the IFMSA research exchange program, which on a national level is run by individual NMOs of IFMSA. SCORE is an assembly of National Officers on Research Exchange (NOREs) who represent their correspondent IFMSA NMOs. Along

with the SCORE Director, his/her development and regional assistants, and the SCORE Supervisory Board, they act as the governing body of SCORE.

Presently, SCORE involves more than 65 active NMOs, offering over 3000 research projects to provide over 2400 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.
