How CU-MEDi medical students perform in their research projects

All CU-MEDi medical students have a chance to participate in research activities with their advisors during the first year of school. Often, the causes are close to their hearts, as is the case for Nitiwat, a second-year medical student whose project received an outstanding presentation award from the 10th Asian Congress of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Along with other medical students, Nitiwat was working on a research project under the subject Special project in biomedical science, which aims to assist all CU-MEDi students in doing their own research or innovation.

An annual event MDCU CONGRESS 2022 at Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Medicine, CU-MEDi Medical Student Research session provides a forum for students to share their original research with peers, faculty, and all participants. This 58th annual event featured many oral presentations from students who dedicated their semesters to conducting their research. Some are listed here;

  1. Comparison of the Electronic and Standard Thai Versions of the Montreal Cognitive Assessments in Stroke Patients
  2. Attributes and the level of significance of the pre-class assignments in the flipped classroom from medical students and teachers’ perspective in faculty of medicine, Chulalongkorn university
  3. Cancer Vaccine RNA Seq Method Comparison and Analysis
  4. Testing regulation of cyclin dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) by MicroRNA-885-3p (miR-885-3p) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
  5. Innovation: UV FILTERS FOR SELF-HELIOTHERAPY

This event allows the first-year students to see what their predecessors have achieved in research projects, so it can serve as an inspiration and provide contacts. It also gives participants an idea of the broad categories of research opportunities that are available at this medical college.

HEALTHCARE IS DELIVERED WHERE YOU ARE.

Have you ever imagined being your own personal doctor and managing your own health sitting in front of a TV at home? Testing that once seemed risky out of the hands of medical professionals is now more than ever a touchable reality. The advancement of handheld technology has brought an explosion of personal health gadgets such as smart watches that can monitor heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and calories burned. High-speed internet advances have allowed for the efficient use of mobile phone applications, online consultant services, telemedicine, and even AI therapists. Some laboratory tests can even be ordered from home at the click of the button, with tool kits delivered and results available quickly online. 

Future prospects of healthcare are moving from being doctor-centered to the patient viewpoint. Disease treatments will also expand to lifestyle remedies and coaching and extend out from visits to the hospital to a 24/7 online service. We might see more data doctors, where personal information of patients is streamed through an online platform and managed by professionals behind screens in ‘Care Hubs.’ After analysis of the person’s health data, they can provide individualized consult to each person, and recommend fitness programs that utilize entertainment and games to increase compliance. Personal devices will have bio-sensors to detect critical vital signs like irregular heartbeats and will be able to immediately send alerts to their doctors for any signs of life threatening conditions. Healthcare will be accessible where ever as internet connectivity becomes more and more ubiquitous.
