Standing Committee on Professional Exchange

Standing Committee on Professional Exchange (SCOPE)

The Standing Committee On Professional Exchange (SCOPE) is the first created IFMSA Standing Committee. It constitutes the largest exchange program within IFMSA and it has been running since the organization's foundation in 1951.

The aim of SCOPE

The aim of SCOPE is to promote international understanding and co-operation amongst medical students and all health professionals through international exchange of students. The exchange program offers students 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.

Currently over 6 600 international exchanges are made every year, and 78 countries throughout the world are taking part in SCOPE. The Professional Exchange is defined and regulated in the Standing Orders of SCOPE. A professional means an exchange of a medical student 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.

The types of SCOPE clerkships

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 of a student in a clinical department of a hospital or clinic, or attached to a general practitioner.

Clerkships can be offered basically in all clinical and pre-clinical fields of medicine. The duration of a clerkship is four weeks. Clerkships are given in English or in the language of the country. Contracts among organizations, members of IFMSA, can be signed on bilateral or unilateral basis
