SCOME In 4th
OMSGA
If you have been working in SCOME, then most
probably you have passed by the idea that “medical
students are the first quality check of medical
education and they should rightfully have an influence
on the creation of new curricula and curriculum
development.” However when it comes to the gulf
region , students involvement in medical education is
very weak and although there always seems to be
some sort of guidelines or criteria set by quality
assurance units in the different medical faculties in
this field , the actual application of them is almost
non-existent. In an environment where curricula,
assessment methods, and teaching methods are
exclusively developed by faculty staff and where
medical students voice to contribute their concerns,
suggestion, ideas is negligible or ignored, a gap is created which leads to less interest in
developing the medical education system, as well as decreased awareness of what medical
education is and the worldwide updates in this field. On the long term, this directly relates
to a less developed health system overall.
As SCOMEdians, It is very important that we understand the issue and believe in it
before actual change. Once medical students realize how important this issue is, it
becomes easier to present ideas, and evidence-based recommendations to faculties, that
we think should be applied and implemented.
In our session in 4th
OMSGA, we will try to shine a light on the basics of medical
education, discuss issues we have always been facing, see how can we plan to solve them,
and gain insight to techniques of advocacy and campaigning for our causes; I can’t wait to
see you all there.

A bit about IFMSA
As medical students, we live most of our time in our university or faculty, studying and
participating at diverse projects or trainings in our local associations. Some of us are also
involved into National Associations (NMO, in IFMSA’s language), as well as into the
organization of national projects, conferences, trainings, advocating with politics or the
professors in our faculties.
The great change that IFMSA brings, is to take one step further. It offers us the great opportunity to meet people from other countries, cultures, languages, and other Medical
Education systems. To share together, bring our ideas, our successes and our failures, and together find new energy and build even stronger projects, new ways to advocate. The
core purpose of IFMSA is to bring together the global community of medical students at the local, national and international level on social and health issues. Basically, IFMSA exists because of and for the medical students who bring to it their knowledge
and willingness to share their experience and collaborate in international activities.
This Federation started in 1951, is run by and for medical students and is recognized by the
UN and the WHO as a non-for-profit, non-governmental organization. From the beginning,
student’s mobility, facilitation of partnership between students, and empowerment of
medical students in leading social and public health changes were main focusses. To serve
these objectives, the Federation has throughout the years built a solid structure to support
every area of its activities.
Next to the Executive Board are the Standing Committees, who includes often Liaison
officers; besides are the Regional Coordinators, the Support Divisions and, finally, to
have an overview over all these activities, a Supervising Council. Additionally, IFMSA
started 2 initiatives, and have some temporal thematic Taskforces. Throughout the year,
the different, Standing Committees, Support Divisions, Taskforces and initiatives work
within their own structure and team.
So, IFMSA is a an International Federation of Medical Students Associations, with
Medical Students from 104 Countries, who all have the dream to improve Public Health
and Social issues and who are ready to dream together and ACT.
If you’re new to IFMSA, then get involved, if you already know this whole awesomeness,
then: KEEP THE SPIRIT
A bit about SCOME Oman
"Hello SCOMEdian " If you're new to SCOME, get used to this nice greeting we
use here in the SCOMEfamily.
The purpose of the SCOME is to gather students from all over the world
who would be interested in playing an active role in their medical education;
how to analyse it and then advocate adapting it to the present and future needs as
future doctors.
During the GA's we have the opportunities to learn about Medical
Education's theories, to learn about other medical education systems, to receive
a training to advocate for better curricula. We also write policy statement in
this area, we share our enthusiasm, our ideas, and to get to know amazing
projects from around the region. Moreover, we brainstorm and gather energy and
motivation.
During the year, we can continue this work by entering a Small Working
Group, or start a project, advocate for changes in our universities, and so much
more. To keep contact, there is the FB-page, the google-email-group
The SCOME team 2014-2015 is composed of:
NOME Ali Al-Qubtan [email protected]
