Who are we?

Hi! Welcome to the SCORP blog!

We're just medical students. But HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of medical students. :) And this is one of our projects.

Our Vision? A world where information is exchanged dynamically and effectively in order to share ideas and promote cooperation to develop critical thinking on human rights issues, as the starting point to make a difference.

Our Mission? Setting up a collaborative community of weblog writers and readers, as a platform for improving active international communication on issues such as human rights, refugees, conflicts and disasters, etc.

Of course, we have some objectives for this project:

- To give everyone an opportunity to express their opinions. What if YOU have something to say? We'll be here to hear you.

- Make SCORP’s response faster. In some ocasions, when an emergency occurs (as an example) fast communications are a cornerstone of our work. Communications (inside and outside of the IFMSA) must flow easily, and sometimes it needs at least a minimum infrastructure like this.

- To give a voice to SCORPions in the situation. Many medical students participate in SCORP activities and projects, and it would be really good if they could write about their impressions and experiences for all of us to read them.

- To motivate SCORPions to act, stimulating and sharing ideas. Medical students need to know about what other medical students are doing for Human Rights and Peace in order to start up their own projects. Information is the key!

- To create a dynamic flow of information with other organisations. Through this blog, SCORP and the IFMSA can stablish dynamic relationships with other organisations and networks which also work online.

- Give a voice to external contributors, IFMSA alumni and youth doctors who also want to tell us about their understanding of Human Rights issues.

If you want more information about our organisation, please visit the official website of the IFMSA, and our activities on SCORP.

Thanks!
