Introduction to IFMSA - SCOPE

The International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA) is an independent, non-governmental and non-political federation of medical students gathering more than 1 million medical students from over 100 countries.

The IFMSA was founded in May 1951, Copenhagen-Denmark and it is officially recognized as a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) within the United Nations’ and recognized by the World Health Organization as the International Forum for medical students.

The Standing Committee On Professional Exchange (SCOPE) was at the core IFMSA’s foundation with the mission to: “Promote cultural understanding and co-operation among medical students and all health professionals, through the facilitation of international students’ exchanges” .

Today 8400 exchanges are being done by IFMSA-SCOPE. These combined make SCOPE the largest students-run exchange program in the world, having “exchanged” more than 232,000 medical students throughout its history.

For more information, visit the IFMSA website: www.ifmsa.org


Letter to the Supervising DoctorDear Doctor,

We would like to thank you for participating in the largest student-run exchange program in the world.

The exchange program of the IFMSA (International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations) is a non-profit and volunteer project run by students, for students. With over 8300 students travelling on exchanges per year, it represents a great opportunity for foreign and local students, as well as our faculties and health care institutions, to share medical knowledge in a professional context. As a tutor, you are invited to participate from this unique experience sharing knowledge and contrasting cultural differences by guiding the foreign student during its practice in order to make the exchange a high quality and unforgettable experience.

In order to ensure that our student gets the best out of their clerkship with your department and to provide feedback about the placement, we kindly ask that you:

- Meet with the student at the beginning of the clerkship to discuss expectations and goals of the clerkship

- Together with the student, fill out all the parts of this handbook.

- Sign the certificate of clerkship providing student has met with your expectations.

We hope that this clerkship will be a memorable experience for you as much as for our students.

Thank you for your cooperation.

CIMSA for MDGs

At September 2000, in Millenium Summit of United Nation, 189 nation members of UN is declared a Millenium Declaration that called as Millenium Development Goals/MDGs

8 point of MDGs:1. Eradication of extreme poverty and hunger2. Achieve universal primary education3. Promote gender equality and empower women4. Reduce child mortality rate5. Improve maternal health6. Combat HIV / AIDS, Malaria and other disease7. Ensuring environmental sustainability8. Develop a Global Partnership for development

MDG 1: Eradication of extreme poverty and hunger If there are no poor people, almost all case is practicaly solved. When the money is avaible people could go to the doctor to cure themself. People could get proper fascility that support their life. People could get a proper meal and drink. Because of that this point is become the first priority.

MDG 2 : Achieve universal primary education Indonesia will meet the target to provide the education for all at 2015 (on track). Moreover, Indonesia is overpass the MDGs target in this point because Indonesia add Junior High School as an aim of education for

MDG 3 : Promote gender equality and empower women In many things, woman rights in Indonesia is developing rapidly. Although it is still far from the gender equality. In this point there are 3 target.

1. Education6 Student’s Handbook| International Federation of Medical Students’ Association (IFMSA)

2. Job Field3. Parlement Representatives

We are on track at the first target but lacking in the second and third target.

MDG 4 : Reduce child mortality rate Statistic said that the number of babbies death in Indonesia is decreasing significantly from 68 at year 1991 become 34 per 1000 of birth at year 2007, so the target at 23 per 1000 birth at year 2015 will be achieved.

MDG 5 : Improve maternal health Every year arround 20.000 woman in Indonesia is dead because of delivering a baby. And almost every death is not need to happen.

MDG 6 : Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other disease Prevalance of HIV/AIDS in Indonesia is increasing, moreover for the high risk group of drug abbuser and prostitute. HIV/AIDS in Indonesia reported to be doubled between 2004 and 2005. But the number of Malaria is decreasing from 4,68 at year 1990 to 1,85 per 1000 population in 2009. And the effort to control the Tuberculosis is meeting the target.

MDG 7 : Ensuring environment sustainability Indonesia development has sacrifice a lot of environtmental field. It cuts tree, damages the land, and poluting river and air. This point is aimed to prevent more damages.

MDG 8 : Developing a global partnership for development This last point is connected to international partnership that include trading issues and international economics. Indonesia is active participant in a lot of international forum. Indonesia has a commitment to develop partnership that give benefits to the multilateral organization, bilateral partner, and private sector to arrive at good economic growth and decreasing of poverty.

Based on CIMSA’s Policy Statement that created in National Leadership Summit Banda Aceh February 3-6 2011, we declare, as a medical student and


future doctor, we will actively participate in effort to achieve MDGs especially in point 4, 5, and 6.

CIMSA for MDGs – Role of Medical Students to Achieve MDGs, is project inisiative that start at May 2011- May 2013. In this project, CIMSA encourage every people to work together help the government achieve the MDGs, especially in the medical aspect.

The aim of CIMSA for MDGs – Role of Medical Students to Achieve MDGs:1. Help the government to achieve the MDGs target, especially at point 4,5,

and 2. Improving medical student awareness to actively participate in achieving

the MDGs target.3. Medical students could actively contribute in health quality improvement of

the society.

Every local choose points of MDGs to be a focus in a project. Start from pre-survey to see the condition that connected with the MDGs status in that local. From the result of the survey, the local is developing a project that appropriate with the condition. And finally to see the impact, local should make a post-survey.

Projects:1. Point 4 MDGs- Social campaign that raising issues about baby and children health

include a good knowledge of breastfeeding, nutrition intervention, and vaccination.

- Children health’s examination

2. Poin 5 MDGs- Education of the pregnant woman and woman in fertile age include

contraception use, antenatal care, and birth limitation.- Examine the nutritional status and health status of mother, pregnant

woman, and woman in fertile age.


3. Poin 6 MDGs- Regular education to the community that have a high risk of HIV/AIDS

(prostitute, transgender, homeless child, drug abbuser, homosexual) and promote non-discriminative behavior to people with HIV/AIDS.

- Educate people to know about the prevention and medication of

Tuberculosis and other infectious disease to the society.


Global Health Learning ObjectivesWithin SCOPE, we think the idea of Global Health Education is very important. We recommend that you take a bit of time to consider the objectives below and research some of the health issues that you host country faces and how this contrasts with your own country.

1. To know the primary health concerns and basic epidemiology of the host country and how it differs from the home country

2. To understand the structure of the healthcare system in the host country and how it is funded

3. To have a knowledge of the medical education system in the host country

4. To observe professional and doctor-patient relationships in the host country and compare them to the home country

5. Identify any differences in public health regionally and nationally in the host country
