On June 25, 2024, we started our official onsite MDKMITL PreMed Camp 2024. This camp aims to provide first-year medical students with crucial skills in an informal setting, aiding their adjustment to the new environment before the academic year starts. It also serves as a great opportunity for students to become acquainted with their peers.
The onsite PreMed Camp event was officially inaugurated by Dr. Sranya Phaisawang, Associate Dean at MDKMITL, and Asst. Prof. Fingani A. Mphande-Nyasulu, Ph.D. They welcomed the new students and discussed the MDKMITL DNA+ Student Code of Conduct, highlighting the importance of professionalism, ethics, and manners within the MDKMITL family to foster a supportive and respectful community.

On June 24th, 2024, we welcomed our new international medical students and their parents. The morning began with a contract signing ceremony, marking the start of their journey with us, followed by meetings with house advisors. These advisors will guide and support the students, discussing academic goals and easing their transition into the program. This session underscores our commitment to a supportive and collaborative environment.

The initial steps are crucial to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable transition into medical school at MDKMITL. To facilitate this, we have designed a unique PreMed Camp 2024 experience for all our new medical students. This special camp is intended to introduce them to the MDKMITL and provides an opportunity for first-year medical students to learn about various aspects of academic knowledge, learning skills, daily university life, and culture.
The camp will equip first-year medical students with essential skills in an informal setting and will help them acclimate to their new environment before the academic year begins. It is an excellent opportunity to get to know their friends, senior students, and instructors.

The MDKMITL program is committed to fostering a new generation of international medical students. Our goal is not only to train doctors but also to cultivate well-rounded professionals. We focus on developing robust professional and research skills, as well as essential 21st-century abilities like communication and collaboration. This comprehensive approach prepares students to become internationalized doctors—physicians with a global perspective ready to serve our community effectively. Their dedication and the skills they acquire here ensure a future marked by impactful contributions to the healthcare landscape.
