Short introduction
Department Program in Physiology at the Master and Doctoral levels since 1981and 1987, respectively. The curriculum has then been adjusted continuously.Up to now, most of our graduates are presently distributed among the academic staffin various universities and institutions in Thailand.
The Inter-Department of Physiology Program places a sustained emphasis as itsmission, not only on producing the educated physiologists with a notably high standardof academic training, but also on creating the new body of knowledge for internationalscientific advancement and national development.
The distinctive characteristic ofprogram structure is a well-cooperative organization by 5 departments of the 5 faculties, namely Deoartments of Physiology of Faculties of Medicine, VeterinaryScience, Pharmaceutical Science and Dentistry ; and Department of Biology, Facultyof Science. Thus, this program provides up to approximately 40 academic staff teaching and supervising students.
Such kind of multidisciplinary program possesses the unique merits in some certainaspercts, holding a decided advantage over a program organized by a single department.Human and material resources can be utilized to the utmost under a rationale and agreement on budget appreciation; In addition, a wide range of facilities and potential research areas, especially applied physiology involving health science, areprovided for students.
This makes them recieve several research presentation and thesis awards. |
