History
Thammasat University laid plans to build a faculty to teach medicine in 1979. The project was initiated in 1986 when the construction of Thammasat University Hospital was started. The council of the university then approved the construction of a Faculty of Medicine in August 1988, followed by cabinet approval on 30 January 1990 and finally by royal decree of King Bhumibol Adulyadej on 19 March 1990.[1][2]
In the 2018 academic year, Thammasat accepted a total of 170 students for the MD course, separated into 105 students under the Collaborative Project to Increase Production of Rural Doctor (CPIRD) and 65 students under the Consortium of Thai Medical Schools Examination (กสพท).
