Intro to AMSEP Philippines 2010

AMSEP , also known as Asian Medical Student Exchange Program , creates opportunities for international preclinical exchanges between AMSA international countries. More info can be found here

I was lucky enough to be selected as one of the delegates to represent Malaysia in this exchange program , which was held from 6th to 13th of November. We will be welcomed by the AMSEP members from the Universtity of Philippines in Manila. 10 Malaysians will be going to Manila while 10 Filipinos will be visiting us just before Christmas.

The purpose of this exchange is to broaden our horizons as well as get to know medical students from other countries since the classes are conducted in different methods.Some aspects that are covered in this exchange program are social , academic and cultural

Selected delegates do not have to worry about expenses abroad since the host will pay for accommodation , food and fare tickets. All we have to pay is the air ticket , and of course own expenses like buying souvenirs , top-up the mobile credit and stuff like that. Hence , we will also do the same when we play host to them in a months time.
