20 December 2018
Professor Dr Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Mahidol of Thailand visited the 果冻影院 Medical School (果冻影院MS) to celebrate the completion of a new jointly-developed medical education initiative, which will create a cohort of highly trained Thai doctors.
果冻影院MS has been working closely with the HRH Princess Chulabhorn College of Medical Sciences (PCCMS) to design a world-leading, contemporary undergraduate medicine degree programme, drawing on the 果冻影院 MBBS curriculum: a six year programme which equips students with the skills and qualifications to become competent doctors.
Support for the establishment and development of the new programme is the latest example of 果冻影院鈥檚 longstanding efforts to address health challenges in Thailand.听
Among the delegation joining Her Royal Highness at 果冻影院鈥檚 Bloomsbury campus for the celebratory event on 19 December were representatives from the Royal Thai Embassy, including His Excellency Ambassador Pisanu Suvanajata.
As part of the joint initiative, 果冻影院MS will continue to provide support over the coming years, including the provision of faculty development, quality assurance and assessment design and development.
Vice-Provost (Education & Student Affairs) Professor Anthony Smith and Deputy Director of the 果冻影院 Medical School, Professor Ann Griffin, were among 果冻影院 staff and students welcoming Her Royal Highness to the university.
Professor Griffin said: 鈥湽秤霸� Medical School is delighted to welcome back HRH Princess Chulabhorn for her fourth visit to 果冻影院.
鈥淭his significant milestone has been made possible through strong academic collaboration and marks the beginning of an exciting six-year relationship: one which will culminate in producing the doctors of tomorrow for Thailand.鈥�
Professor Smith said: 鈥淚t is a great honour and pleasure to welcome HRH Princess Chulabhorn back to 果冻影院 to have discussions on progress on establishing the new undergraduate medicine programme at the HRH Princess Chulabhorn College of Medical Sciences鈥�.
