Hi all....bear with me to go for this topic again ka....last one laew ka.
Several things I think I should share further are:
1. Statistics about foreign medical doctors amazed me as I never knew it before. The US has 215,630 foreign doctors with a 17% share. Saudi Arabia's foreign medical doctors stand at 68,017 with 73% share of them to the local ones. UAE with its fewer numbers of population has 22.216 foreign doctors and is considered the world's highest share at 91%.
If it were Thailand, what would we want to point out specifically? This could be one important question to ask and discuss plus to seek ways to ensure that we do have enough quality physicians in our country with reasonable workloads and environments for retention ka. Medical schools and our Government have a role to take this matter into their considerations as well.
2. What I presented on how our medical circle has grown strong all through these years and the keyword is 'leadership' ka. When I was asked to help give a presentation about the Consortium of Thai Medical Schools (COTMES), I discussed it with both Ajarn Mor+ Avudh (former SG) and Ajarn Mor+ Nantana (current SG). It was so clear that leadership in our eastern way and principles of higher education management (autonomy and freedom) have been invaluable.
The healthy existence of COTMES is due to the trust the med schools have had in it as SG's come in to support and enhance the quality of the schools as needed while retaining harmonious relationships among all. Another aspect that COTMES has done is that it's not only kept up with both the external and internal forces, but also optimized its brain trust (e.g. National Conference on Medical Education) with strategic policies proposed to both the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Technology and Innovation, and the Medical Council to adopt them and bear impacts to the medical community and beyond.
I did notice one thing from this WFME World Conference that not so loudly nor often did leadership mention. Perhaps more studies should be done on this topic for the community to grow even more productively and beneficially.
End of my sharing from this conference ka!
