Message from the IFMSA Regional Coordinator
Today, we medical students and future doctors face serious health challenges in the Philippines and
beyond, from the rising costs of non-communicable diseases to the human toll of climate change and
disasters. What is becoming more apparent is that these health issues are more social than biomedical
in nature, and therefore what we learn from medical school now seems to be inadequate and even
irrelevant.
Now more than ever, we need physicians and other health workers who can work within health systems
that are becoming more and more complex, who can approach health issues by looking through
different lenses outside health, and who are willing and capable to get out of the clinic and hospital and
champion for better health and greater health equity. These are among the many qualities of a new
breed of doctors who will create and sustain health in the 21st
century.
A major solution, therefore, is to evaluate how medical professionals are produced, and alter whatever
defects exist or supply whatever is lacking. Transforming the education of physicians is an enormoustask, as it will entail challenging long-held traditions and institutions. But with the worsening state of
health and the growing inequities in society, we cannot afford to be discouraged and to surrender.
We hope that this workshop, Think Global Asia-Pacific Workshop on Global Health in Medical
Education, would contribute to the solution.

Message from the AMSA-Philippines President
Mabuhay!
With warmest greetings, AMSA-Philippines welcomes our delegates to the IFMSA Think Global
2011. It is about time for us to tackle global health and its social determinants, which have notbeen given enough attention in previous conferences in favour of more clinical topics. Yet,
global health plays a big role in the way we deliver quality health care to our patients.
Several medical schools do not even introduce the concept of Universal Health Care until
students are at higher year levels. Hence, this short 3-day course will thus encompass all the
important essence of health care and delivery, with comparison amongst the different regions.
We rejoice to know that at the end of this conference, there will be new champions of global
health and will join hands with us in promoting and pushing for universal health care all overthe world.
Lastly, enjoy your time here in Manila because we have a lot of memories to share with you!

International Federation of Medical Students Associations
The International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA) is a nongovernmental
organization representing associations of medical students. It was founded in May 1951, and currently
maintains 106 National Member Organizations from 99 countries across six continents. The mission
statement of IFMSA reads, "Our mission is to offer future physicians a comprehensive introduction to
global health issues. Through our programming and opportunities, we develop culturally sensitive
students of medicine, intent on influencing the trans-national inequalities that shape the health of our
planet."
The goal of the Federation is to serve society and medical students all over the world through its
member organizations by:
Empowering medical students in using their knowledge and capacities for the benefit of society; Providing a forum for medical students throughout the world to discuss topics related to
individual and community health, education and science and to formulate policies from such
discussions;
Promoting and facilitating professional and scientific exchanges as well as projects andextracurricular trainings for medical students, thereby sensitizing them to other cultures and
societies and their health problems, and;
Providing a link between members, medical students' associations and internationalorganizations, and to encourage co-operation between them for the ultimate benefit of society.
All activities of the IFMSA are linked to one of its six standing committees, which are:
Standing Committee on Medical Education (SCOME) Standing Committee on Professional Exchange (SCOPE), which coordinates medical student
international exchange
Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE), which coordinates international researchexchange
Standing Committee on Public Health (SCOPH) Standing Committee on Reproductive Health including AIDS (SCORA) Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace (SCORP)

IFMSA Think Global Initiative
Effective global health education provides students with an understanding of the broader determinants
of health and healthcare delivery. It encourages students to consider the ways in which these
determinants transcend national borders, and the profound impacts of globalization on health. Think
Global aims for all future healthcare professionals to have an understanding of global health and to act
as advocates to improve it.
The project works with students involved in the IFMSA (International Federation of Medical StudentsAssociations), providing them with opportunities to learn about global health in the context of their
clinical and extracurricular activities. As global health education is relevant to all medical students, Think
Global integrates comprehensively with all aspects of the IFMSA, working closely with the Standing
Committees on: Public Health; Medical Education; Human Rights and Peace; Professional Exchange;
Reproductive Health including HIV/AIDS; and Research Exchange.
These opportunities include, but are not limited to: global health workshops; input into other workshops
and Standing Committee sessions at the IFMSA General Assembly; the IFMSA General Assembly Theme
Events; and the provision of reliable global health resources and materials. Students attend a Think
Global training or organize their own local events, or attend international conferences such as the World
Health Summit or Rio +20 summit.
Think Global works actively to include global health education within medical curricula. The project
empowers students to act as advocates for global health by training them in global health issues and
advocacy. It also aims to build a network of students with similar Global Health interests.
