Published Siriraj hospital establishment
Siriraj medical School, founded in 1891, is Thailand’s oldest medical school. In 1922, Siamese government representative, Prince Mahidol of Songkla, negotiated with the Rockefeller Foundation to improve medical education. Thereafter, Thailand’s medical education took a significant leap ahead.
Throughout its long history, the medical curriculum has undergone numerous revisions to produce the best possible doctors. In today’s world, when interprofessional education is critical for future learners, a new curriculum called the “6 plus 1 curriculum” has been launched allowing medical students to get master’s degrees in a variety of fields while pursuing their medical degree.
Four master’s degrees
There are four master’s degrees offered by Mahidol University, including Information and Communication Technology, Public Health, Bioengineering, and Business Management, as well as two master’s degrees from the United States and Australia, namely Health & Clinical Informatics @OHSU and Public Health @UWA. We are certain that our curriculum will positively shape the students into global doctors as well as multitaskers who check all boxes of future expectations.
