On Monday, March 4, 2024, MDKMITL was honored to welcome Mr. Sanjeev Chowdhury, Senior Trade Commissioner, Mr. Christophe Rouleau, Trade Commissioner and the entire Trade Commissioner Service Team from the Embassy of Canada to Thailand to our Y1 World Culture Class. Mr. Chowdhury’s insightful and inspiring session covered aspects of diplomatic and embassy duties, Canada’s history and the healthcare landscape in their great nation.
We were even treated to a taste of Canada with delicious “Timbits” from Tim Horton’s, a staple of Canadian coffee culture. An exciting interactive mobile app game by Mr. Rouleau tested the student’s understanding of the content during the entire presentation with valuable prizes from the Canadian Embassy. To end the informative yet fun-filled session, Mr. Chowdhury went above and beyond to offer his own personal advice for our young medical students on how to develop their professional and interpersonal skills to become upstanding contributors to our society.

This very special installment of the 5th Doctor Train led by Associate Dean of Innovation and Research Anawat Sermswan, M.D., and Associate Dean for International Affairs, Sranya Phaisawang, Ph.D., brought our team of dedicated MDKMITL physicians, nurses, administration team and support staff, along with the wonderful State Railway of Thailand (SRT) team, to the northern province of Uttaradit.
