Core educational training programs
Our department is one of fifteen departments within the Faculty that offer three educational program levels for physicians.
- Undergraduate program for medical students (clinical teaching in the 6-year program of Medical Degree, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University)
- Postgraduate programs for medical residents (3-year program)
- Clinical Fellowship program for post-residency training in specific areas (1-year program)
Family Medicine Residency Training
The 3-year residency training curriculum includes a combination of core family medicine rotations and elective rotations. Under the close supervision of attending physicians, the first-year resident will focus on individual health care principles, which are emphasized in patient-centered medicine. The second-year resident physician will provide continuous ambulatory outpatient care and home visits to their regular patients. After acquiring their own patients, residents will develop a family-centered approach to primary care. Additionally, they have practiced in remote community hospitals where they had to apply their skills of family medicine to that community. The last year residents will learn how to be team leaders in instructing junior physicians and medical students. The training also incorporates elective rotations tailored to the interests of the resident, which can benefit their future careers as family physicians in diverse contexts across the country.
