(SCOPE x SCORE Around The World)
SCOPE&SCORE CIMSA UPH
Exchange is an arrangement in which people from different countries visit each other’s country to strengthen links between them and to improve certain skills. Thus, in order to facilitate medical students exchange, SCOPE and SCORE CIMSA have been constantly conducting exchange programs in clinical and research fields.
In order to increase the interest and participation of medical students in the SCOPE and SCORE Exchange Program, SCOPE and SCORE CIMSA UPH designed an activity, SCOPE X SCORE Around The World. This activity was designed and aimed at UPH Medicine Students, to introduce about the global health system and to promote the Exchange Program as a platform that provides direct clinical and research experience for medical students that is not readily available elsewhere.
At first, this event was met with numerous setbacks, notably the COVID-19 Pandemic which hindered the planning phase to the point of possible cancelation. However, through the grit and perseverance of the organizing committee, they finally were able to mitigate and convince concerned parties such as the University Dean, and thus Instagram Live was also chosen as the media for its deliverance.
During the approximately 2-hour Instagram Live, the event was divided into 2 notable sessions. The first session was regarding education about exchange which is brought by the LORE CIMSA UPH 2020/2021 (Clement Louis) and LEO-OUT CIMSA UPH 2020/2021 (Jeskry Thiono). In this session, they shared about the exchange system and the application procedure.
This event was then followed by a sharing session in the form of a talk show in which 2 guests (Avilia Alexandra [SCOPE], Jesslyn Natalie Hariyanto [SCOPE]) shared about their past exchange experience. Furthermore, a QnA session was held and open to enthusiastic questions from the Viewers. The average viewers were 30-40 viewers at a time, however the total viewers that entered the IG LIVE was 320 for the 1st session and 208 for the 2nd session.
Through this event, it is hoped that SCOPE X SCORE Exchange Program could be more inviting to potential medical students, and that they get a firm grasp in the exchange system as well as willing to enroll in this exchange program once this pandemic ends.
