Greetings from the PANDAS!
Welcome to SCOME!
Medical Education should be a concern of every medical student as it shapes not only the quality of future doctors but also the quality of healthcare. BMSS Bangladesh has a dedicated organ that aims to implement an optimal learning environment for all medical students around the world, the Standing Committee On Medical Education (SCOME).
“Medical Education is not just a program for building knowledge and skill in its recipients, it is also an experience which creates attitudes and expectations. “
– Abraham Flexner
SCOME acts as a discussion forum for students who are interested in the different aspects of medical education in the hope of pursuing and achieving its aim. Today, SCOME works mainly in medical education capacity building. SCOME provides several platforms and methods to educate medical students worldwide on various medical education issues. Through this knowledge, it empowers them to advocate to be a part of the decision-making chain. SCOME believes in medical students as important stakeholders in creating, developing and implementing medical education systems.
SCOME BMSS is led by ONE NATIONAL OFFICER (NOME) as well as maintained nationally by the SCOME TEAM OF OFFICIALS.
History of the Committee
