Name of the activity: Project “Dynamite”: Training New Trainers (TNT) – San Cristóbal, Venezuela. 2018
Country/NMO: Venezuela (FEVESOCEM)
Program: Medical Education Systems
Contact information: [email protected]
Type of the activity: Capacity Building (Training or Workshop)
General description:
As is well known, capacity building is the fundamental pillar of the IFMSA, because it seeks to empower students of health sciences in a variety of topics that are often excluded from the curriculum of medical schools. .
With these activities we aim to direct the efforts of our participants towards the right direction, focusing our activities to the development of communicative and motivational abilities, group work, intercultural learning, and many others.
The fundamental objective is to train students from Venezuela and America, so that they can be spokespersons for this important message within their communities and societies, sothat this event serves as a replica of an informal education that can be carried out in different areas and spaces, to finally enriche our environment and with it, the world in which we live.
Focus area:
Students’ involvement in medical education | Evaluation and Assessment
Problem statement:
The training of the members of each of the NMOs that make up the IFMSA should not be taken as an additional element in professional training, or as an adornment, but rather as an element that prevails within their evolution as future leaders of the health system.
To provide tools for our members to develop and get empowered is the cornerstone in the FEVESOCEM Capacity Building Division, and also we are aware that Trainings are not just useful, they are a tremendous toll of capacity building and internal development, and those gears are part of the ones missing in our NMO.
We recognize, as well, that this is something that should involve all the people in the federation, that is why we are humbly sending this proposal, to have this international event here and be able to improve our NMO, and lead our trainers into a greater future among their LCs.
Target groups and beneficiaries:
The target group will be all the medical students members of the FEVESOCEM or another NMOs belonging to Americas Region.
Objectives and indicators of success:
