Personal Statement

Since the moment I was embraced by IFMSA, I had a fascination to be one of the

main contributors to my region, the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR),

especially after I witnessed the rich culture and the exciting atmosphere

surrounding its people. Thus, shall with great pleasure and sincere honor snatch

the opportunity to seek election to be the Regional coordinator of the Eastern

Mediterranean region to maintain the high standards of constructing new

thoughts, to lead the EMR into great success and brighter future.

Motivation Letter

Dear IFMSA friends & dearest EMRians,

The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) the region were I grew in, where I

found my shelter at all times and where I met the most amazing people in the

world and IFMSA, the region where you will find love, help and support from

every one at all times and in all situations, the region of love I call it and this my

dear friends is the region I’m ready to dedicate and work hard for to achieve

greatness and go further into building a society of thinking doctors who are going

to benefit the region in all ways and in all times.

Khalid Al Hamadani is my name and Oman is where I come from. A country that

taught its own people and everyone who lived in it, how to develop fast with

planned steps to get results that no one could ever imagine is achievable. It is with

this way of thinking I would greatly like to lead and serve the EMR region and

IFMSA.

IX

I’m accused by everyone who worked with me along the past few years in IFMSA

of being obsessed with IFMSA and its work and with my love to the EMR region

and this is an accusation I hold dearly in my heart and I’m very proud of.

It has always been my dream and wish to do something great & unique to IFMSA

in general and the EMR region in specific, something that would never be

forgotten through IFMSA and the EMR history. That is why it is with great

pleasure, enthusiasm and full support of my University (Sultan Qaboos University)

and NMO members; you find my candidature for the position of the Regional

Coordinator (RC) of the EMR region. A position I’m sure that I would be able to

handle and lead the EMR region to great success and achievements.

EMRians the future is now in our hands and together we can make it a bright

future, filled with happiness, fun and success.

With great love and affection, I wish the best for all of you.

Sincerely,

Khalid Al Hamadani

Plan of Action

I have always been looking at this region as the paradise that was created in the

earth to match the paradise of hereafter life. It is a heaven that god has bestowed

upon it the beauty, the magnificence , the great nature and much more value than

that its great, lovely people of my region who are full of energy, full of sympathy

to weak people, full of empathy, It is the eastern Mediterranean region ( EMR ).

Dearest friends of IFMSA and dearest EMRians,

With great passion and strong motivation, I relay to you my preliminary plan of

action that aims to implement new thoughts, create innovative ideas and present to

you a future filled with legendary actions. However, if I’m elected to take the lead

in the EMR then I swear an oath to utilize every single fraction of a second to

brighten the region and to enlighten the EMRians to take the best steps to approach

the perfectness and greatness.

The Plan of action below is in the form of points each explained to try to make it

clear what I’m thinking of for the EMR region. However, as said before this is the

preliminary plan of action and if elected we will have to sit together all of us in the

EMR to make a very detailed one with a time line to assess our progress and to

make sure we achieve our goals. It is with your ideas and mine we can make this

region be called the region of creativity and success.

XI

1-EMR Dream Team

My first task to be done is to complete the EMR regional team within one month of being elected. And

together as a team we will take the EMR region to a new era of achievements.

As you can see from the graph above I added Marketing team and EMR alumni, and these two points I

will discuss in the plan of action as you will see below

XII

2-EMR Marketing Team

We are a region of new and brilliant ideas, ideas if implemented it will benefit us as individuals and it will

benefit the communities we live in and eventually the EMR region and it's relevant NMO's. However,

these great ideas are usually stopped by many obstacles but the main one is MONEY!!

So I'm going to form a marketing team as part of the regional team and appoint someone to handle it.

This will bring money and make it easy for us to make our dreams and ideas come true. The way how

this money can be used can be discussed among the EMR region. But some ideas of how we can use it

fairly for the best of the EMR region are:

Establish EMR project Grant, and choose the best three EMR projects and support them by

money to achieve their goals.

Establish EMR Travel Assistant Fund (TAF) and help our own EMRians attend the different IFMSA

meetings.

3-EMR Alumni

We all will reach the time when our time in IFMSA is over, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't take part of

IFMSA anymore. In the contrary, we all can become alumni of IFMSA helping all the new IFMSA

members to achieve the goals of the federation learning from our experience.

Alumni in the EMR can be of great help offering their advices in the different issues and situations that

we face in our own NMO's and region, coming from the same region their experience will be of great

importance.

So I'm planning to encourage our entire region NMO's to start the alumni in their NMO's, and make a

database of EMR alumni to get their help once we need them.

The alumni can also contribute to the marketing team, by offering grants of their own or even use their

own relationships to help the team get enough money for the activities of the region.

4-Recruitment of new NMO's in the region

As I begin my term I will work very hard to increase the number of NMO's in the region and widen the

spectrum of IFMSA in our beautiful region. Looking at the Map we still have some Countries missing and

with the regional team and help from you NMO's we will have more countries in the EMR represented in

IFMSA. The countries not yet represented are:

XIII

Yemen

Qatar

Syria

Morocco

They are colored red in the Map below.

5-EMR NMO's National Meetings agenda

We as EMR region meet three times a year, in Two GA's and in the EMR meeting. This is not enough. We

need to meet more and we need to communicate more to learn from each other. Some of the EMR

NMO's organize amazing National Meetings. We can make an agenda for such meetings to make it easy

for everyone to know about it. And after approval of these NMO's, externals from the EMR region from

other NMO's can attend these meetings increasing the interaction between the NMO's in the region and

learn from each other. So I'm also planning to make this agenda which will be great for our region if

done.

Also there are many other conferences that take place in the EMR region which are not IFMSA related,

I’m planning with your help to organize an agenda for such conferences to have a wide option of

international participation and most importantly try to have active participation as IFMSA in such

conferences to spread the spirit of IFMSA all over the region to everyone as much as possible.

XIV

6-EMR TNT's\TOT's

We as a region lack enough trainers within our NMO's. So I'm planning to encourage the EMR region

NMO's and cooperate with the Training director, to organize some TNT's and TOT's. This will be of great

impact on our region, since having trainers will make our region stronger in IFMSA and in its national

work which is much more important.

I will contact the NMO's individually in the EMR to try make this happen. I'm also planning to make the

regional meeting contain a TNT because it is a great chance to organize one in a regional meeting. Also I

will try to encourage NMO's organizing National GA's to organize a TNT along with it.

7-EMR Publications

This year we had one EMR publication and it was amazing, and now we are waiting for the second one.

The work done this year for the publications was great and awesome, however this work was given its

chance to glow and show what the EMR region is capable of. So Along with the publications

development assistant I would like to maintain having two newsletters every year to represent the EMR

region and to make sure it is well distributed all over the NMO's in IFMSA, within the EMR NMO's itself

among the members and to everyone even if they are not medical students to know what medical

students in the EMR are achieving. This will make our publication be stronger and very i mportant and

will encourage for more amazing work within the region.

Also with the publication DA I would encourage the NMO's to share their publications if they have any

and to encourage the rest of the NMO's to start making their own publication to have a compile of

beautiful publications that will just make the EMR region show what magic it contains.

XV

8-EMR Day!!

Well we are an amazing region with amazing people, and this amazing region with its people needs its

own day. The EMR DAY!!

A day of EMR creativity where events with the same theme can be held all over the EMR region in the

same day. It will be both fun and beneficial for our region. Increasing communication and giving a

chance for our projects to glow and shine together.

This day can be the day where the first NMO in EMR entered IFMSA or when the EMR region was

created within IFMSA.

9-EMR Regional meeting

Continue the work of the previous RC supervising the work of the organizing committee of EMR

8 and have a great EMR.

Also encourage other NMO's to be the host of EMR 9 and make sure there is someone to host it.

Try to improve the EMR meeting to be more beneficial for the NMO's e.g Add TNT to it, choose

a timing in which most of the EMR region NMO's are able to attend and fix it to be the same

timing every year,..etc. Will also cooperate with all the NMO's in the EMR region and all

members to hear their ideas to improve our regional meeting.

10-EMR NMO's Development

Along with the regional team I will try to help the current NMO's in the region grow stronger and

develop more to be better. I'm planning to do that by:

Establishing the committees that still doesn't exist in some NMO's and see what are the reasons

that stops them from starting them and try to find solutions for it. In order to have all the

committees in all the NMO's in the region working effectively and make the current ones which

is already working even stronger.

Target the issue of not obtaining voting rights in the GA's because of inability to pay the IFMSA

fees for any reasons. This is to be discussed with the NMO's and try to get a solution for it, in

order to have a saying in the GA's and to be a strong region.

Target the issue of low participation in both the GA's and the EMR from different EMR NMO's

and see what are the reasons behind it and also try to find solutions to this problem in order to

benefit as much as possible from these meetings as a region and to be represented by a huge

number showing the strength and motivation of the EMR region.

XVI

Increase EMR NMO's participation in different IFMSA events and work, by encouraging the

NMO's and investigate what are the reasons that make the EMR NMO's don't take participation

in such events and work. e.g external meetings, policy statements, projects to be recognized by

IFMSA as endorsed, transnational,…etc.

With this plan of action and ideas I would like to lead the EMR region into a different era of success and

achievements. And this will only be the beginning because I'm sure this plan of action can modified by

your comments and participation to be better and to be as I mentioned before more specific with a time

line in order to assess our progress in it as a team. I also hope that this plan of action fixes some of the

issues like communication between the EMR NMO's and more participation since it will make everyone

busy and enthusiastic to work for it.

Yours sincerely,

Khalid Al Hamadani
