Project Redefine

SCOME SCOPH

In India, public health education is delivered mainly under Community Medicine. A study showed that while nearly 89% of students agreed that learning Community Medicine during MBBS is very essential, about 83.7% students felt the need of additional field visits or practical assignments to encourage interest in the subject.Only 12% students showed interest in Community medicine as a speciality. To address this issue SCOME and SCOPH launched a project- Project redefine in three phases: The first phase is an SWG of 17 members that, alongside the coordinators, created a questionnaire to gather information on perception of public health education in India. The second phase of the project is holding a Panel Discussion with prominent stakeholders and using the report of the same to promote the next phase. The third phase of the project: local and national level Advocacy Campaigns is under process.

SCORA hosted a letter-writing competition with the aim of fostering awareness, challenging societal mindsets, and creating a healthcare system that embraces and supports the intersex community.

L. I. P. I

SCOME

Doctor-patient relationship is a crucial element in medical setups and is often difficult to establish due to differences in the languages spoken. Thus to overcome this barrier SCOME launched a project, L.I.P.I- language in Patient Interaction. The phase one was an SWG to develop a toolkit for the medical students to aid them in learning basic vocabulary of certain regional languages. Phase 2 involved an on-ground worksheet based activity. This activity furthers our vision of developing competent healthcare students with worksheets to help the health workforce with the basics of the vernacular language of the region they are studying in.
