Exchanges
Enrollment
Register here for your exchange, but first read the following information carefully.
How To
The registration form for exchanges from April XX to March XX+1 is open from the 1st of March XX-1 to the 31th of May XX-1.
The promotion of leftover spots will start around the 15th of October XX-1 on our Instagram, swimsagram newsletter and website.
Please pay attention to the following points:
-
- Have a look at the swimsa internal point system, the registration procedure and the pre-exchange booklet.
- Please mention your English level and the language level for the country of your first priority. You can find it in the exchange conditions for the country of your choice.
- Your CV (as a PDF) should cover the application and list all of your swimsa-related and relevant activities.
- SRT (Sub Regional Training) and GA (General Assembly) are the international events that are organized by the IFMSA, not by swimsa or a association in Switzerland. Please be sure you have attended one before putting it in the form.
We want everyone to go on an exchange. The following countries are extremely popular in SCOPE and SCORE and we it is very difficult to get multiple contracts with them. You can only select one of these countries as first priority, the other two countries cannot be from this list. You have to select 3 different NMOs (National Member Organization, e.g swimsa Switzerland) in total.
