Standing Committee On Professional Exchanges

Welcome to SCOPE!

​

The Professional Exchange program is a full educational program offering clerkships to medical students abroad. Since the very beginning, in 1951, it was evident that the exchange of medical students would be one of the main fields of action in IFMSA (International Federation of Medical Student Association). As early as 1952, a total of 463 students spent a period of practice abroad, and today, it continues to be the backbone of the Federation and constitutes its longest-running project. Annually, more than 13,000 students from 90 countries travel around the world to discover new health systems, new cultures and to enhance their global health and intercultural understanding.

​

Mission

The aim of SCOPE is to promote cultural understanding and cooperation amongst medical students and all health professionals, through the facilitation of international student exchanges. SCOPE aims to give all students the opportunity to learn about global health and attains this partly by having its exchanges accredited by medical faculties across the world.
