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 organisation's foundation in 1951.
Brief History of SCOPE IFMSA
A student exchange scheme was set up in 1951 by the Standing Committee on Professional Exchange (SCOPE), although the now-familiar common application form was introduced in 1968. In 1956, 11 countries and 906 students participated in SCOPE exchanges, while in 1957, 18 countries participated.
In 1958 the Committee On Transatlantic Exchange (COTE) was established to arrange exchanges between European and American medical students. In 1959 the detailed regulations of these exchanges were set up. Later on, this committee was incorporated into SCOPE.
In 1966, 35 countries participated in the SCOPE exchanges and by 1980 more than 3 000 students went on SCOPE exchange program. In 1990 the numbers were up to over 4 000 students from 39 different countries. At the same time "Electives" were added to the normal range of clinical clerkships organized by SCOPE. In 1986 the Standing Committee on Elective Exchange (SCOEE) was founded, which in 1998 changed its name to the Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE).
Nowadays 78 countries are involved in IFMSA SCOPE. In all these countries, there are 1003 Medical schools and 676 of them have IFMSA Local Committee.
