DELEGATION
Delegation is one of AMSA-UGM’s external divisions which handles multiple responsibilities including being AMSA-UGM’s AMSEP (Asian Medical Students’ Exchange Programme) and Public Relations division. With one of our main responsibilities being AMSEP UGM’s hosting program organizer, this division and its members are very well acquainted with the world of delegating and student exchange, including all of the aspects that surround it. Also having to deal with external parties, both nationally and internationally, the members of this division receive both direct and indirect training on communication and public speaking which will aid them in their participation in Model United Nations, debate competitions, and other forms of public speaking competitions, and ultimately in their lives as future healthcare professionals.

WORK PROGRAMS
ASIAN MEDICAL STUDENTS' EXCHANGE PROGRAMME (AMSEP)
Asian Medical Students’ Exchange Programme (AMSEP) is one of AMSA International’s programs hat was established in 2003 to facilitate student exchange between AMSA Chapters (countries that participate in AMSEP). As the only exchange program acknowledged by AMSA, AMSEP provides an opportunity for all AMSA members to experience being a medical student in other chapters. AMSEP’s hosting program varies depending on each hosting university. However, it will always contain AMSA’s philosophy: Knowledge, Action, and Friendship..
Having received the title “Best Host for AMSEP 2022” AMSA-UGM has since relentlessly strived to elevate all components of our hosting program, even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite having to be done virtually in 2021, AMSA-UGM’s Delegation has curated a 7-day exchange program containing all of the best aspects of AMSEP. In the tenure of 2022/2023, AMSA-UGM managed to send 2 delegates, for AMSEP Taiwan and Hongkong. It is hoped that AMSA-UGM can always maintain a high standard in our participation in all AMSEP activities.
EXON: EXPEDITION AND OBSERVATION
Established in 2019, EXON is an annual event held by AMSA-UGM's Delegation and is one of the pioneers of national medical exchange programs in AMSA-Indonesia. Designed to strengthen the bond between AMSA-UGM and partnering AMSA-Universities, EXON also serves to introduce new Delegation members to the world of medical exchange programs which consists of hosting and delegating. Also acting as a mini-AMSEP, EXON is a 3 to 4-day program consisting of a welcoming party, academic sessions by experts, community service sessions, socio-cultural sessions, and is concluded by a farewell party.
In the 2022/2023 tenure, AMSA-UGM successfully executed an exchange program with AMSA-UPH. AMSA-UGM sent over 15 delegates to cross the Java island from Yogyakarta to Jakarta to venture the cultural, academic, amd social exchange held by AMSA-UPH.
DEDICATION
Established in the 2018/2019 tenure of AMSA-UGM, Dedication was designed to be a Delegation’s form of community service for the fulfillment of one of AMSA-UGM’s 3 philosophies: Action. Dedication was a way we could give back to our society by bringing a delegation specialty trait, english. In 2019, the members of Delegation visited RSUP Dr. Sardjito’s Cancer Installation to teach English through storytelling. Two years later, Delegation collaborated with other divisions, such as Social & Environment and Finance and Partnership, and work in partnership with Solar Chapter to write, illustrate, and donate books for children and families in East Nusa Tenggara. In 2022, Delegation held a 2 day interactive event in Mustika Tama Orphanage in Yogyakarta on the topic of “Stunting” through games and storytelling.
MODEL UNITED NATIONS AND DEBATE TRAINING
Members of AMSA-UGM’s Delegation are highly encouraged to develop their communication and social skills, mainly by participating in Model United Nations, debate competitions, and other forms of public speaking events in both a national and international level. As a way to accommodate and ensure that our members have the confidence to participate and are able to perform well in these events/ competitions, every tenure Delegation provides its members with MUN and debate training.
Every year AMSA UGM sends a debate team to the annual debate competition in the National Action Event held by AMSA Indonesia. From 2020-2021, AMSA-UGM has held the championship title, bringing home the 1st place trophy after competing against all AMSA-Universities in Indonesia. In 2022, NAE was held offline in Universitas Indonesia after being online for 2 years, in which our academic delegates managed to get through semifinals after competing for 3 days. Delegation has managed to create a strong name for AMSA-UGM in the debate competition world.
