Hello hello all! here I am again ka! Moderated a session yesterday and sure have some to share as always!
In fact, this session was similar to what I did and shared two years ago. It was for doctors from medical schools and affiliated hospitals nationwide, allowing them to gain new knowledge, experiences, and networks ka.
The topic stays the same, which was, 'Internationalization of Medical Education' and the panelists were: Prof. Nijasri Charnnarong, Director of Chulalongkorn University's International Medical Education Program -- CU-MEDi) and Dr. Amarin Narkwichean, Joint SWU and Nottingham Medical Program. Both are associate deans, at CU and SWU Med Schools accordingly ka.
Here are my lessons learned ka:
On content:
- Definitions of IZN, desirable outcomes and impacts can be independently identified, depending on each school's vision and strengths.
- Daily issues offer improvement opportunities for us to take actions everyday.
It was amazing to see CU-MEDi adjust and progress so much.....must be na ka. Two years ago, we rarely talked about AI.
- CUMedi has been using digital tech and AI quite extensively in some ways....using recording equipment to record students' conversation with patients to spot their sounds and facial expressions. It's so helpful for medical students to know how to project their voices and how to make sure their facial expressions would be proper with empathy. The program also uses AI to translate Thai into English to facilitate faculty members with their teaching in some ways.
- MoU between SWU and Nottingham stands healthy due to a few reasons.....Nottingham has the need to be present in our region, both started from cooperating on exchanges before setting up this program together, and both sides have firm commitments and frequent interactions/consultations plus room for flexibility. SWU Med School has sorted issues by tackling root causes, particularly in relation to quality of the students.
On leadership:
- Both leaders are passionate in what they do and authentic in their sharing mak... I truly love it as it's led them to handle the right issues effectively ka.
On overall management:
- My request for them to touch on IZN to stress 'Where Now and Where from Now' obviously helped reveal their efforts to pave their ways into the future.
- The session worked fine, with the two panelists finishing presenting their programs, followed by a solely Q&A after break.
- Before going into the Q&A , both panelists were asked to give their responses about the other on the strength and key area to learn from. One panelist was jokingly saying that I asked them to do it so they could pay attention to the other presentation:))! They sure offered great answers to set the stage for the participants to pose their questions.
- As always, I prepared a list of questions in case the one-hour Q&A went dry....not even one question was used ka. Seems that the 3-hour session wasn't that long ka.
Other:
- Wish to have more time for discussions about global perspectives like geopolitics, economy, demographics that could potentially impact their programs.....next time ka.
