Assoc. Prof. Mullika Chomnawang, Deputy Dean for Research & International Relations, and Dr. Sitaporn Youngkong, Deputy Dean for Student Affairs, officially attended “2018 US-Thai Consortium for Pharmacy Education” held during June 11-12, 2018 at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy in Lexington, Kentucky, United States of America. The objective of this conference was to promote cooperative advancement of pharmacy education and research amongst pharmacy schools between 18 schools of pharmacy in Thailand and 16 schools of pharmacy in the United States of America. It also serves as a platform for the exchange of ideas and strategies in pharmacy education as well as to foster research collaborations among the pharmacy schools of two regions.
Furthermore, the US-Thai Consortium for the Development of Pharmacy Education in Thailand was founded in May 1994 when nine schools of pharmacy from the United States and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with eight schools of pharmacy in Thailand and the Committee for Pharmacy Manpower Development of the Thailand Ministry of University Affairs. The Consortium fosters a formal link, on an institutional basis, that supports the long-term development plan of the Ministry of University Affairs to enhance the academic, research, and clinical programs of their Schools of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The mission of the consortium is to foster a formal link, on an institutional basis, in recognition of the long-term development plan of the Ministry of University Affairs to enhance the academic, research, and clinical programs of their Schools of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The long-term goal of the program is to expand the number of pharmacy schools and pharmacy faculty members in Thailand, and the subsequent training of additional pharmacists for practice; thereby, strengthening both pharmacy education and practice to improve the health and welfare of the Thai people.
