Mr. Bo Xuan Zhou from Peking University Health Science Center, PRC, and Mr. Ching-Chieh Hung and Mr. Yen-Tuan Huang from National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, to undertake a medical elective at Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital.
Welcome! Medical students from Peking University Health Science Center, PRC to undertake a medical elective at the Center of Applied Thai Traditional Medicine (CATTM) from June 3rd – 28th, 2019.
On June 4th, 2019, Prof. Dr. Prasit Watanapa, Dean of Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital presided over the press conference on the 1st Thailand Accomplishment in three stem-cell treatments in Cornea. The press conference was witnessed by Assoc. Prof. Ngamkae Ruangvaravate, Chairwoman of Department of Ophthalmology, Assoc. Prof. Pinnita Tanthuvanit, Head of Cornea and Refractive Surgery Division, Assoc. Prof. Pattama Ekpo from Research Department and Stem cell transplant team. The press conference was held at Chulabhorn conference room, 2nd floor, Syamindra Building, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital.
Dean Watanapa explained that Siriraj has successfully accomplished in ophthalmology treatment by using stem-cell transplantation after 12 years of development. From research to treatment, the development displays the well-being of ophthalmology patients, solving the public health issue, improve the quality of lives, and leverage the research to the international arena. The Dean continued that the three-stem cell development method has started since 2007; CLET (Cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation); COMET (Cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation) in 2008; and SLET (Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation) in 2014. In nowadays, and for the first time in Thailand, Siriraj is available to provide three options for patients in treating ocular surface burns by using the above methods, saving time and cost, depending on patients’ condition.
5 June 2019: Prof.Jarupim Soongsawang, Head of Departement, presented the Excellent Extern Awards to Mr. Sasiparp Veerasombat and Mr. Nawat Termpongnurak , the externs who had outstanding performance during their practice at Department of Pediatrics from 8 May 2019 to 8 June 2019.
Siriraj Medical Simulation Center for Education and Training (SiMSET) was established under the Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University since 2015. One of the purposes of this simulation center foundation is for training the healthcare personnel who are interested in using simulation for medical education. The SiMSET had cooperated with the Thai Society for Simulation in Healthcare (Thai-SSH) in teaching simulation for medical education for many years, both for basic simulation principles and advanced faculty development. Although we have contributed the effective teaching that aiming for the patient safety, we now realize that most of the trainings are focused on only skill and knowledge training. Professionalism training in healthcare is also an important issue nowadays especially the inter-professional education (IPE). Simulation is proved to be an effective method for teaching the IPE, but the experience of teaching the IPE in Thailand is not significance.
Department of Emergency Medicine, in cooperated with Thai-SSH, SiMSET and Siriraj Health science Education Excellent center (SHEE) , Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital have organized the conference project in the topic of “Simulation Education: from Expert to Practice”, which consists of 1 day academic conference and 2 days of workshop about inter-professional education in simulation.
Objective
1. Provide the basic principles for simulation and inter-professional education in healthcare
2. The participants are able to develop the IPE teaching program by using simulation.
3. The participants are able to design the appropriate IPE scenario and effectively debrief their learners.
4. Contribute to the development of future healthcare educators interested in simulation
Content
1. Basic principles and common problems in teaching simulation in healthcare
2. Sharing experiences and how to success of the simulation experts
3. Principles and experience in inter-professional education
4. Faculty development in debriefing method
5. Optimize the simulation-based assessment
6. Role of simulation in healthcare transformation
