The Standing Committee on Research Exchange
The Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE) supervises and coordinates the research exchange program, it provides students with intensive research projects which allow them to expand their knowledge of specific scientific areas of their choice, while encouraging the formation of professional and social networks abroad.
Empowering future physicians with research skills and cultural awareness to shape the future of medical science.
We strive to provide medical students with access to research opportunities worldwide, enabling them to develop essential scientific competencies while experiencing cultural exchange. Through an active network of students and institutions, we facilitate meaningful research experiences that contribute to both personal and professional development.
This session provided a concise yet comprehensive overview of SCORE for students interested in participating in research exchange programs. Many early-year medical students, particularly those in their first and second years, are often unaware of these opportunities or unsure of the eligibility criteria and application process. This initiative aimed to bridge that gap by offering clear guidance on how SCORE operates within PMSA, ensuring students have the knowledge and resources needed to take advantage of research exchange programs in the future.

Held from August 27th to 29th, 2021, the Research Exchange Hybrid Camp was the first of its kind, offering essential training on Research Exchange and Academic Quality. The camp equipped students with a comprehensive understanding of Research Exchange principles, the nine steps of Academic Quality, and the organization of Pre-Exchange and Upon Arrival Trainings. Additionally, participants received hands-on training in database management and exchange coordination.
This initiative aimed to build a strong and well-prepared “Dark Blue” team capable of managing Research Exchange effectively in future terms. By investing in expert Palestinian trainers, the camp ensured the development of skilled facilitators and trainers who can sustain and enhance the quality of Research Exchange programs in the coming years.
The Research Online Summer Camp, held from August 27th to 29th, 2021, provided essential training on Research Exchange and Academic Quality. Students were trained on the nine steps of Academic Quality, organizing Pre-Exchange and Upon Arrival Training, database management, and Exchange coordination.
The camp aimed to create a well-prepared “Dark Blue family” of skilled facilitators and trainers, ensuring effective management of Research Exchange in future terms. Expert Palestinian trainers led the sessions, offering high-quality instruction to all participants.
In 2022, the SCORE program provided ten students from our university with a unique opportunity to participate in a research exchange initiative. These students traveled to various countries, collaborating on research projects with hospitals and universities. Through their participation, they gained valuable knowledge in research methods and ethics, which will greatly benefit their future careers. This initiative also allowed them to expand their horizons and build professional networks, contributing to their academic and personal growth. The program’s success reflects our commitment to offering exceptional opportunities for our students.
