Dear members worldwide,
IFMSA has been a global leader and an advocate for the Social Accountability of medical schools for the past 6 years. From developing a students’ toolkit for Social Accountability of medical schools to encourage local action to receive the Charles Boelen Prize during the World Summit for Social Accountability in Tunisia 2017, IFMSA has been successfully able to empower and engage members worldwide in implementing the IFMSA pledge for Social Accountability of medical schools. However, more widespread and decentralized advocacy actions foris needed to encourage more local action. Thus, the Standing Committee on Medical Education (SCOME) aims to support local related initiatives through awarding best practices from NMOs in terms of implementing activities related to Social Accountability of medical schools.
We are very happy then to announce the IFMSA Social Accountability Awards, as an opportunity for you not only to showcase your achievements but most importantly enter to win a monetary prize of up to 900 USD!
