Welcome Message
Beloved Americas Family,
Time has come for us to meet again, this
time in Magic Colombia.
The Regional Meeting is the most
important event we have; it represents a
time for capacity building, development
of leadership skills and an opportunity to
become key actors in the progress of our
Region towards a brighter future.
This is the time for us to gather and create
magic; the time for us to unify our region
while we embrace our diversity.
This space wants to become a place in
which we will keep working on the vision
of Global Health Leadership and strength
our Americas among friends.
For those who have already attended a
Regional Meeting in the past we surely
count on your knowledge and experiences
to enrich this event. To the newcomers we
urge you to learn everything from everyone.
You will see, at the end, that here in the
Americas, we are all one big family!
We want to wish you the best Regional
Meeting ever, and we hope you felt in love
with our Americas Region, like we have!

SCOME:
It is my pleasure to welcome the SCOME
PAMSA family to Colombia, where we
expect to live amazing experiences. We
meet once a year in the region for a week,
to share, learn and develop strategies and
knowledge about medical education. This
Regional Meeting is a great opportunity
to get involved and learn more about
SCOME. We as medical students can
become agents of change, proposing new
initiatives and suggesting the necessary
tools to improve the quality for the
education, therefore, this assembly joins
great people who have common goals.
I can personally say that a meeting of
this magnitude completely changes your
perspective about what IFMSA is, you can
also acquire valuable skills, which you can
take home to improve the quality for your
national projects, and finally, to know and
learn from your peers around the region.
The RM is a unique opportunity, Colombia
is waiting for you!

SCORP:
I hope that youre as excited as I am for our upcoming SCORP Sessions in the Regional
Meeting (RM) of the Americas. For those of you who are coming for the first time, you
will learn many things from our amazing Standing Committee; you will understand why
Human Rights and Peace are essential for medical students and why we need to advocate
for these topics. For those who have attended Sessions before, we are going to have the
best time! You will all find motivation and different tools that will help you be the best
SCORPions ever.
During our Sessions well discuss different topics that you can find in the agenda. Ive
taken in considerations the topics you want to see and others that I think are needed
for the development of our region. But most important, come with all of your energy, be
prepared to have fun and share a good time.
Mahatma Gandhi once said, be the change you want to see in the world, just by joining
SCORP and attending to these sessions you are all being part of the change we need as
future doctors.
I hope these Sessions fulfill your expectations and contribute to make this RM be an
amazing experience. Im looking forward to meet you all!

About Colombia
Organizing Committee:
Dear Americas Region Family,
It is with great excitement and honor that
we invite you to attend the next version of
the most important event of our Region:
The Americas Regional Meeting 2015.
A part of the Andes mountain range,
Santiago de Cali is the Worlds Capital of
Salsa and the main center in Colombia for
sports contests, being the only Colombian
city to have hosted several international
championships and games. All this,
together with Calis tropical savanna
climate, the day and night entertainment
and the kindness of its people, make it a
wonderful spot for hosting an international
event such as the The Americas Regional
Meeting 2015.
We, the ASCEMCOL Family, cherish and
respect the IFMSA not only for its impact
on medical education and global health
issues but also for its hard work on
strengthening several bonds of friendship
and collaboration among our countries
that go beyond our expectations as future
physicians, proving that investing in
human values and youth empowerment
does positively impact the world. Our 25
years experience on organizing national
academic, community and scientific events
will make the Americas Regional Meeting
Sincerely,
The Organizing Committee
The Americas Regional Meeting 2015
