STANDING COMMITTEE ON RESEARCH EXCHANGE

Introduction to SCORE

SCORE was first established in IFMSA in 1991 as SCOEE (Standing Committee on Elective Exchanges) but then gained its final name as Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE) in 1998. The primary mission of SCORE is to provide intensive and focused research projects, which allow medical students to expand their knowledge of specific scientific areas of their choice, while encouraging the formation of professional and social networks abroad.

SCORE Indonesia led by a NORE (National Officer on Research Exchange). SCORE is another standing committee beside SCOPE that manages medical student exchange in Indonesia. The difference is located in the field that students are involved in, Professional Exchange held by SCOPE, the student will do clerkship overseas, but with SCORE, the exchange field is in research. SCORE CIMSA facilitates Indonesian medical students who have the interest and ability to experience research program abroad by helping with the processing of the documents and administration required by the destination country that we already have contract with in accordance with the regulations.
