Students in the second class of Chulalongkorn University’s International Medical Program began their journey towards becoming a physician this week. To prepare for the rigorous curriculum, most of our students elected to enroll in the “Foundations of Medicine” certificate course provided by Chulalongkorn University.
Students had the opportunity to study and review topics in cell biology, metabolism, genetics and embryology, histology, physiology, immunology, medical microbiology, medical parasitology, pathology, pharmacology, and essential biostatistics through an asynchronous platform developed by our lecturers. Interesting questions were discussed and reviewed in the live sessions. Students also had the opportunity to perform hands-on laboratory work in histology and microbiology.
“You won’t regret taking it!” says Nisakorn Valyasevi, a first year medical student at CU-MEDi. “Although I did major in biology, the foundation course was still very valuable in terms of giving a medical context to my science background, and was great preparation for transitioning to medical school by getting hands-on lab experience, developing study habits, familiarizing yourself with the teaching structure, platform, and materials, and meeting with your fellow peers before school officially starts!”
