              We developed this program based on principles of flexibility, diversity, and comprehensiveness. Learners can adjust their learning experience in a way that fits with their life style and learning needs. Learners can expect to meet classmates from various settings and specialties and learn from teachers who are experts with diverse experience. Our program contains five core elements: research, learning, assessment, curriculum, and leadership. We also have plenty of elective courses to fulfill various needs of learners. We believe that these courses provide comprehensive understanding and necessary skills need for teachers, educators, and administrators of health science schools. I wish all students will enjoy their learning experience in our program.

              The health science person who works related to education should have competence in teaching and learning, curriculum, assessment, and research for developing a health science study program. They also should be able to deliver their expertise to the new generations and establish a professional person for other regions.

This Health Science Education (international program) would contribute to strengthening health science educators who will work in a variety of regions from different countries. To study in the program, students can learn from each other and learn how to work with people who come from different cultures. Welcome, all of you, to be a part of the Siriraj community.
