SCOPE

ABOUT SCOPE

Standing Committee On Professional Exchange (SCOPE) adalah komite yang berdiri pertama kali di IFMSA (International Federation of Medical Student Association). Ini merupakan program pertukaran terbesar dalam IFMSA dan telah berjalan sejak berdirinya organisasi pada tahun 1951. Saat ini 78 negara terlibat dalam SCOPE IFMSA. Di semua negara-negara ini, ada 1003 fakultas kedokteran dan 676 dari mereka memiliki Komite IFMSA Lokal. Scope UR sendiri berdiri pada tahun 2012.

Tujuan SCOPE adalah untuk mempromosikan pemahaman internasional dan kerjasama di antara mahasiswa kedokteran dan professional kesehatan semua melalui pertukaran internasional siswa. Program pertukaran menawarkan siswa pengalaman pendidikan dan budaya yang unik di samping kurikulum medis yang teratur. Hal ini juga membantu untuk memperluas pemahamanan mahasiswa tentang kondisi medis dan sosial di berbagai negara.

SCOPE CIMSA juga dipacu untuk mengadakan proyek-proyek bagi internal SCOPE sendiri, maupun yang ditujukan kepada bukan anggota SCOPE.

SCOPE dilokal dipimpin oleh seorang LEO yang terbagi antara LEO for incoming dan LEO outgoing. LEO for incoming bertugas untuk mengatur segala urusan mengenai incoming yang datang ke lokal tersebut, sedangkan LEO outgoing bertugas untuk mengatur segala urusan mengenai para outgoing yang akan melaksanakan exchange.

"The exchange program offers students a unique educational and cultural experience in addition to the regular medical curriculum. It also helps to broaden the students understanding of medical and social conditions in different countries."

ABOUT PROFESSIONAL EXCHANGE

The Professional Exchange is defined and regulated in the Bylaws of SCOPE. A professional exchange refers to one (unilateral) or two (bilateral) medical students, who undergo a medical practice in a hospital abroad. This practice, named clerkship, is purely educational for the student and he/she will not receive a salary for it.

There are two types of clerkships offered in SCOPE:

1. A pre-clinical clerkship is defined as the stay of a student working or studying in a pre-clinical department at a medical faculty/school or hospital.

2. A clinical clerkship is defined as the stay in a clinical department of a hospital or clinic, or attached to a general practitioner.

Clerkships can be offered in any clinical or pre-clinical field of medicine. The duration of a clerkship is four weeks, but it is possible to extend the duration upon special agreement. Clerkships are given in English and/or in the native language of the country. Academic recognition is available for clerkships varying from country to country. In addition to the medical practice, there are often social and cultural programs available for the student to participate in. During the period of a bilateral exchange, the exchange student is supplied with food and lodging by the hosting country.

As a summary, students participating in exchanges will receive:

1- One Month Clerkship (either clinical or pre-clinical)

2- Lodging (at a students’ facility or hosting family)

3- Boarding (at least one meal per working day at a student’s facility or cafeteria)

4- Social Program (may be free depending on the Local Committee)

5- Incoming Student Package (to be developed in a later section)

6- Student’s Handbook (to be developed in a later section)
