INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Established in 1965, the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand<\/span><span lang=\"TH\">,<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> embodies the fundamental belief that students possess the capacity to bring about positive transformations for the betterment of society. The faculty has firmly ingrained the Western paradigm of critical thinking and a progressive mindset into the organisation after receiving funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. In order to provide students with comprehensive exposure to various aspects of healthcare in a favorable educational setting, the faculty made the decision in 2010 to construct a student-centered campus called Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute (CNMI). The primary objective of this initiative was to enhance the capabilities of graduates to bring about positive transformations in societal health. As the new campus developed, we revised our curriculum to improve competency-based learning. The program spans over a period of six years and consists of 1,200 medical students. Every year, the program admits 200 students who have completed high school. The curriculum incorporates integrated modules and focuses on achieving specific outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">II.
