History

Following a cabinet meeting on 12 September 1992, it was resolved that due to a lack of medical personnel in Thailand, the medical school universities should increase intake of 340 more medical students for the 1993 academic year. In addition, medical schools should also be set up in regional parts of Thailand and this included an Institute of Medicine at Suranaree University of Technology, approved on 15 December 1993. In January 1995, the university set up a Health Science systems project, consisting of the institutes of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing and a Medical Center. However, due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the project was temporarily halted. The first cohort of medical students were accepted in 2006.[2]
