Standing Committee on Medical Education deals with all questions connected with Yugoslav National Medical Education system and actuel Bologna Process in European Higher Education. This questions are very interseting for our students and they are becoming much more active in SCOME. As a product of this activities SCOME developed it's new national wide project "KORAK" (in english - step).
We strongly believe that medical students should play an important role in reshaping medical education. Based on that belief, our committee will try to involve as many students as possible to make medical education in Yugoslavia better. For that reason our committee is going to increase interaction and insist on better communication with the IFMSA (International Federation of Medical Students Associations) Standing Committee on Medical Education, with the participation of medical students from all around the world, sharing experience and information about medical education worldwide.

Projects

KORAK ("step") / The medical education evaluation project
IFMSA Serbia Standing committee on Medical Education believes that students as the recipients of medical education are also the natural evaluators. Valid evaluation is the first step in changing and improving medical education. For that purpose SCOME will start a project to improve the quality of medical education evaluation performed by students. Medical students must be asked and they must give their thoughts and opinions concerning medical education they receive. Students must evaluate the work of teachers, the quality of lectures and curriculum, so they can receive the  best possible education they can.

Electives In Medical Education
Together with  IFMSA SCOME and with a few reform oriented medical schools ,our committee took part in this programme to provide students, interested in medical education changes and alternative approaches in medical education, with the chance to collect some experience and information in a genuine environment. Our students can visit for a certain period ( six weeks to three months ) University in Maastricht or McMasters University in Canada to see how the PBL (Problem Based Learning ) system works. With active participation our students can be introduced to that special educational philosophy and curricular structure.

The Book-aid project
Very interesting and practically oriented project is the collection of medical books for University libraries in countries that have the lack of appropriate teaching material. Among those countries is also our country. Our committee is going, in association and cooperation with IFMSA SCOME, to find donors and potential sponsors, who are willing to help our University libraries to obtain contemporary medical literature.
