Anmeldung/Inscription

Read me first!

The exchange dates are from April 2024 to March 2025. The application form is closed.

The promotion of leftover spots will start around the 15th of October 2023 on our instagram (swimsa.ch), swimsagram newsletter (you can register here on the bottom right corner) and homepage. Stay tuned!

Please pay attention to the following points:

  1. Have a look at the swimsa internal point system, the registration-procedure and the pre-exchange booklet.
  2. Please mention your English level and the language level for the country of your first priority. It has to be relevant and demanded in the exchange conditions for the country you choose.
  3. Your CV [PDF] should cover the application and list all of your swimsa related and relevant activities.
  4. SRT (sub regional training) and GA (general assembly) mean the international events that are organized by the IFMSA, not by swimsa or a Fachschaft in Switzerland. Please be sure you attended before putting it in the form.

We want everyone to go on an exchange. The following countries are extremely popular in SCOPE& SCORE and we don’t get many contracts with them. You can only select one of these countries as first priority, the other two countries cannot be from this list.

Warning: Canada Quebec and the United Kingdom are very difficult to make contracts with and some of these countries require a lot of expensive medical tests to get accepted by the hospital.

For Research Exchanges (SCORE) you can only choose European countries as the second and third priority.

Make sure to have read and understood the exchange conditions (EC) for SCOPE or SCORE of each country before applying, and check if they are available for the month you wish. If you have any questions or uncertainties, please don’t hesitate to turn to neo.out@swimsa.ch for a professional exchange and to nore@swimsa.ch for a research exchange.
