SCOPS, an independent certified organization, that works together to inspire and unleash hidden potentials , creating a new generation of leaders capable of making a difference for a better and a healthier life.
The Goals of SCOPS:
1.Giving students a chance to understand and meet the needs of a truly demanding working environment.
2.Achieving the concept of double learning where participating students are only "guided" to the way they can learn through assignments, researches and reports, rather than being mere receptors of bulky information.
3.Educating students about the different potential pharmacy careers ahead of them.
4.Providing a crucial link between students and sponsoring pharmaceutical companies, where the most skilled participants are identified and rewarded by job and summer training opportunities.
5.Raising the team spirit of the participating students when they work together independently to finish a certain project.
6.Sharpening the leadership and managerial skills of the academic and the organizing committees' members.
7.Improving the students' theory of strategic planning, and how a plan can be applied technically to achieve what was planned with minimum risks and maximum benefits.
8.Gaining new skills as presentation skills, public speaking and scientific thinking.
9.Exploring students' internal motives and career objectives.
SCOPS (Students Conference on Pharmaceutical Studies) is one of the most successful and unique student conferences ever, exceeding all expectations 3 years in a row (since 2006).
As the name implies, the conference is primarily lead by students, who work hand by hand to achieve one colossal dream, "a brilliant future for Egyptian pharmacists. "
SCOPS is about students exchanging information and opinions, without constraints. The academic committee includes four workshops, aspiring to educate the pharmacy student about the various careers ahead of him. Each workshop is lead by a team of moderators (the teaching students) who does extensive research with the help and supervision of their college professors and teaching assistants. Then they pass over the information and experience they had acquired to their fellow students though 8 weekly sessions, on a 6 months period. The sessions take the form of a workshop, coupled with a plenty of practical events organized throughout the period to ensure students truly understand what each field offers, and hence discover what they truly want and excel at.
It's smart because people of similar age groups can understand each other better, they belong to the same generation and they're influenced with the same social and global conditions.
But that teaching process needs support. And that's where the idea of the Organizational Committees came from. The conference needs funding for a start, which is provided by the Fund Raising and the Project Development Committees and then it would need people who organize the workshops' sessions and do the paper work, which is how the need for the Co-ordination committee came along. And there's also the need for Editorial Newsletter members to write the Newsletter, Public Relations members to promote SCOPS in other universities and a Human Resources committee to be responsible for employment, recruitment and events. The one thing the Organization Committee and the academic committee have in common is to ensure participants' satisfaction thus having a successful conference.
