Field Practicum course & perks

Hi. In our graduate program, there is a 2-credit course called Field Practicum taken in the middle of the first year. We task our students with working as a team to start and complete a field research project from scratch, and presenting the findings to a local public health office.

In 2022, we conducted a serological assessment of COVID-19 immunity status on a resort island called Koh Lipe, off the Andaman Coast. We had to purchase and haul blood-drawing equipments and paper forms from our Department office to the Island, then carry everything from the hotel to a local school (ad hoc data collection site) in the morning and back in the afternoon, then do data cleaning and analysis after dinner.

Sounds miserable, right? Not quite. Our provincial and local public health colleagues took such a good care of us. We also finished the work early, so we had one free day where everyone had the option of going snorkeling.

Details about the project are here: https://lnkd.in/gQqHDct8

Students in other cohorts went to other locations with somewhat less dramatic views, but we try to make sure there's one day of relaxation at the end. This is the perk of doing primary data collection work.

If you're interested in joining us for fieldwork, please let us know in the comment or see more details below.

Where we call 'home'

Hi. I just want to quickly show a map of where our alumni and students come from since the inception of our graduate programs. This is a map of Asia, the yellow star is where our campus is located (approximately), and each red mark is a random spot in each country.

Our current first year cohort includes people from Vietnam, China, and Bhutan. But other cohorts have included those who hailed from other places: from Malawi to Fiji, from Mongolia to Indonesia, and places in between.

We hope to expand this map further over the years. If you're interested in adding a red mark to this map and be a pioneer in South-South epidemiological training in Thailand, please leave a message or see more details below:
