On Friday, December 19, 2025, from 10.00 AM to 11.00 AM, the International Relations Unit of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University, arranged an exit presentation for exchange students from the College of Pharmacy, University of Kentucky (UKCOP), USA. Held in Room 403 of the Rajaratana Building, the session was attended by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sitaporn Youngkong, Deputy Dean for International Relations and Corporate Communication, along with Assoc. Prof. Thanarat Suansanae, Deputy Dean for Education, and Asst. Prof. Sayamon Sukkha, Assistant Dean for Professional Affairs.
The two exchange students from UKCOP, Ms. Karen A. Ramos and Ms. Sierra K. Stewart, completed their Pharmacy Practice Experiential Rotation in Thailand from November 10 to December 19, 2025, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thanarat Suansanae. Their training took place at the Faculty of Pharmacy and its affiliated practice sites, including 1) Phonprasit Pharmacy, 2) Ramathibodi Hospital, 3) Boots Pharmacy, and 4) Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital.
This program aimed to provide students with hands-on learning experiences in clinical pharmacy at hospitals and healthcare facilities both in Bangkok and upcountry. It also offered opportunities to explore Thailand’s healthcare system, pharmacy services, and the professional roles of pharmacists, while enhancing their academic capacity, social skills, and global citizenship as a foundation for their future careers. The program also sought to strengthen the long-term relationship between the two institutions.
The exchange program supports the Faculty’s mission to serve as a center of academic excellence in pharmaceuticals, herbal medicines, cosmetics, and food, contributing to sustainable national development. It also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4: Quality Education, Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities, and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals, by fostering international collaboration, addressing educational disparities, and promoting the global advancement of pharmacy education.
