The Standing Committee on Professional Exchange
SCOPE is a professional exchange program that provides clinical medical students with a unique opportunity to undertake a one-month clerkship. Our goal is to foster cultural understanding and collaboration between students and healthcare professionals, enhancing their medical practices through international exposure.
Our vision is to position Palestine as a sought-after destination for medical student exchanges globally. Through professional exchange agreements with SCOPE, we aim to represent Palestine in the best possible light, promoting cross-cultural exchange and medical excellence worldwide.
“Let’s make PMSA the desired destination”
“Let’s exchange the world”
SCOPE’s mission is to promote cultural exchange and cooperation among medical students and healthcare professionals by facilitating international student exchanges. We strive to offer students the chance to learn about global health, with exchanges accredited by medical faculties around the world, ensuring a valuable learning experience and global networking opportunities.
