Starting off the New Year with Another MDKMITL Milestone: The Year 4 White Coat Ceremony!

This time-honored tradition was held at Sirindhorn Hospital.

We thank with the utmost gratitude, Sirindhorn Hospital and Nakharaphiban Hospital in supporting and guiding our medical students towards becoming the best clinicians that they can be. This significant event represents not only the beginning of their journey into clinical practice but also the collaboration and dedication of our faculty and our hospital partners. By receiving their white coats, our talented international medical students step into a new chapter of responsibility, professionalism, and commitment to patient care. It is a moment of pride and reflection for both the students and those who have nurtured them along the way.

Special congratulations to Mr. Nathatiwat Nattarakulpitak, our Year 5 medical student, for receiving the Outstanding Academic Performance Award for achieving the highest scores, and Mr. Salin Hattakarun, also a Year 5 medical student, for receiving the Outstanding Conduct Award.

At MDKMITL, we make a difference from the ground up and with today’s White Coat Ceremony, our traditions become even more deeply rooted in the support and success of all of our international medical students.
