Abstract:
In order to make training more relevant to community needs, medical educators throughout Thailand have been attempting to address issues concerning the training of their undergraduates. Support for a reorientation of medical education and acceptance of the frame-work put forward by the World Health Organization are evident in national health plans and in national medical education conferences. This paper outlines some of the basic problems faced by health policy makers in Thailand and presents a brief chronology of recent events in the history of medical education in Thailand.
