SCORE I SCOPE

IFMSA (International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations)

IFMSA is an international organization that brings together medical students with the aim of fostering connection, collaboration, and knowledge exchange among young future doctors worldwide. Through professional exchange programs (SCOPE) and research exchange programs (SCORE), students are given the opportunity to gain practical experience in hospitals and research centers across IFMSA member countries. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, these exchanges are organized by the Association of Medical Students in Bosnia and Herzegovina – BoHeMSA. Exchanges typically last one month and contribute to personal development, intercultural understanding, and the promotion of global health. How do IFMSA exchanges work?
