Medical education: Lifelong learning

We were advised to join the 11th Thai medical education congress, held at Chulalongkorn University on 27-29 March, and it had covered many interesting subjects from adding public health into med student curriculum, and how to teach that topics.

There were also workshop/ discussion about the making OSCE, however, one thing that we have agreed with and we have done is "Lifelong Learning". Since 2009 we have formed the group of teachers to three each to look after 10 upto 12 students in two week slot. We knew that we cannot let them know all the department of Anesthesiology would be, we hope that they can find their way out, since we have just shown them small windows of this busy department. The aim of preoperative evaluation and preparation is also an example of lifelong learning, because the patient who need anaesthetics can be anywhere in the hospital, we hope that our students have understood this goal and can apply our anaesthetist's way of thinking to the patient care process.
