[SC Sessions - Interviews]

Erwin Barboza-Molinas (Paraguay), Director of SCORE 2019 - 20

Erwin mentioned about the strategic plans during 2016-2019, and there were some examples and actions that could fulfill the core goals of SCORE efficiently, with recruitment being the first key step. “We held some activities to attract new healthcare professionals and medical students to join the world of research, as well as exchange projects.” The next step is to show the importance and methods of doing research to medical students. "We equipped students with literature studies, data collecting, and laboratory work.”

“As medical students, we will all take part in establishing the healthcare system. Consequently, we must upgrade ourselves by catching up with latest information, and this goal can be obtained by doing research. While doing so, new cure and means that diagnoses are updated, with the purpose of providing our patients with the best health care. By the way, doing research is even more beneficial while we can still utilize our identity as students: winning others at the first stage, being productive academically, cultivating abilities for a better position and salary (ha ha) for the future are all advantages.” When asked why should the vitality of research be emphasized, Erwin replied.

In the end, Erwin briefly shared his motivations and visions with us. "In the process of doing research, you start to realize your limitations and will learn to improve and get prepared for the upcoming difficulties. I strongly believe that we can improve our lives by doing research. Via doing research, a healthier and happier society can be established, and this is where my motivation lies in; to see people live better. I hope that one day medical students can learn to fulfill the big picture, and see the energy, ideas and potential in themselves. We can all change the world! Always be more than a doctor! Live with a curious soul, try to question every normal thing, and find out the answers around our simple but fruitful life!”

Thanks to Erwin, we are given the opportunity to get a broad view of the significance of doing research and applying it to the healthcare system. With his encouragements, we would definitely take the adventure of doing research!

[IFMSA EBTO Time]
Ep.6 - Batool Wahdani (Jordan), President of IFMSA 2018 - 19

1️⃣ What was the most impressive experience during your term of office?

I was impressed by how passionate people are about IFMSA, and how they benefit the organization as well as how they benefit from it. When seeking for the potential of IFMSA members, you can truly discover enthusiasm, and I always felt inspired when I see so many people get back to IFMSA to share their perspectives. The federation is sustainable and is sustained by the passion of the members.

2️⃣ What characteristic is the most important to compete for this position?

I don’t think the characteristics that I value are from myself, but are given by IFMSA and the experiences these years I overcame. I am able to be one of the leaders of the organization, because I have learned so many things during different kinds of experiences the organization gave me.
Being patient, managing with stress, time, and team, and loving the organization are all necessities. You have to love the job. Seeing that this is a voluntary job, you should believe in the mission of the organization to be motivated.

3️⃣ I watched your speech in UNITED NATION, which was about social engagement of the youth. You also mentioned the problems we are facing: s*x work, the marginalized, hunger, the uneducated, and the unemployed; the speech impressed me a lot. Regarding the topic of the uneducated, we are living in a world dominated by capitalism, in which the value of free trade is upheld; nevertheless, free trade is one of the reasons that exacerbates the wealth gap, and therefore causes the inequity of educational resources. As you discussed the equality of educational resources in your speech, we would like to know how we could ensure the equality in education, while the freedom of trade is as well implemented. Or are there any methods that can directly safeguard the equality in education?

I think the utilization of resources is the most important thing here. We are not gonna change the situation of capitalism and wealth gap, but you can see the highly educated are there to engage in the improvement of the situation in every region.
Developed countries may have a higher rate of education, so the young generation is able to implement active citizenship in order to better this situation. Education is also not directly related to the resources, and should be provided for free and for all; especially in a poor country. Some countries implement compulsory education to 16 years old, but I think it is not enough; everyone should be able to get a degree and keep learning until they are independent in their lives.

4️⃣ What do you think of the situation people receiving health care?

One thing IFMSA emphasizes is “Universal Health Coverage”, which is deemed as one of the human rights. There is still a large group of people who couldn’t receive proper health care in the world we are living in today. I think it is a big issue we are faced with and is not formed merely because of the financial background of people. What’s more, health care is much more complicated than just statistics and math, and should be invested in everyone instead of a small group of people who are thought to be conductive. As medical students, we should carry on the issue and start to work on marginal regions to reach equality in health care.

[🇹🇼🇹🇼PreGA | Day 3🇹🇼🇹🇼]

The university where preGA took place, CMU, is famous for its Chinese Medicine practice, therefore, it was indispensable that all delegates learn about this wisdom of our ancestors. Aside from receiving knowledge transmitted through words, delegates
were even given the opportunity to try cupping and acupuncture!
All overwhelming memories still unfortunately had to come to an end…in the evening, the closing ceremony of preGA was held in the Banquet Hall of Eva Hotel, serving dishes in “Bando” style, which is a traditional Taiwanese type of celebrating significant events. The pleasing night ended up with a Bar Tour, by which they could experience the vigorous nightlife of Taichung. The atmosphere of the night was probably the tone how preGA would be remembered, mellow and tipsy, like a pleasant dream.

How heart-comforting that the end of a fulfilling event was actually the start of another! On the first day of August, all delegates packed their luggage and waved goodbye to Taichung, and headed to GA in Taipei, eager to start a new adventure!

[🇹🇼🇹🇼PreGA | Day 2🇹🇼🇹🇼]

It was always vital to start a day off with informative lectures, as workshops were still offered in the morning. But the afternoon was even more entertaining than last day that the theme was Aboriginal Cultures! Delegates did not only make Mochi, one of the staple food of the aboriginal people, on their own, but also enjoyed Paiwan festival, costumes and dances! The natural beauty and passion encompassed in aboriginal culture touched everyone’s heart. At around 8 pm, it’s finally the time for all delegates to explore the attractions of Taichung! Three routes featuring different characters, including places for hipsters, the train station and the theater, are offered. There was no doubt that all delegates experienced the profoundness of Taichung!
