Just beginning

We are just beginning...

The aim of this first blog is not to remain isolated, but to become a starting point in the creation and development of a bigger platform of medical students and global health weblogs.

This blog only treats human right (and peace) issues, but there are still many topics that should be treated from different working groups, like SCORA (Standing Committee on Reproductive Health and AIDS), SCOPH (Standing Committee on Public Health) or SCOME (Standing Committee on Medical Education), as well as concrete projects like the Think Global Initiative Project or even medical students learning Global Health at International Health Centres and Universities.

Let's see if it works:

- Let's start with this blog. Contributions are needed! ¿Do you want to write an article?

- It is not easy to make it work. Articles may need to be translated to different languages, and people will have to learn how to use a blog. This will require people volunteering for different tasks.

- As soon as contributions arrive, it will become necessary to set up some basic guidelines about how to write, our policy on 'freedom of speech', and develop our first marketing campaign to promote it.

- If it works, other blogs could be created for the rest of Standing Committees of the IFMSA and other working groups.

- What about putting all these small projects together in a bigger platform of "Medical Students blogging for Global Health"?

Step by step. We are just beginning...
