Assoc. Prof. Watcharasak Chotiyaputta from the Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, attended and delivered a poster presentation on the topic “A novel and simplified score for determining treatment eligibility for patients with chronic hepatitis B” at the “Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2023” in Chicago, USA, between May 6^th – 9^th, 2023. The Digestive Disease Week is the world’s largest gathering of physicians and researchers in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy, and GI surgery.

Lecturer Manunchaya Samala, Ph.D., from the Sirindhorn School of Prosthetics and Orthotics (S.S.P.O.), Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, attended the basic instructional course on the topic “Integrating Biomechanical-Based Instrumentation with Performance-Based Outcome Measurement in Prosthetics and Orthotics in Resource-Limited Settings” at the “International for Prosthetics and Orthotics (I.S.P.O.) 19th World Congress: The Art and the Science” in Guadalajara, Mexico, between April 24^th – 27^th, 2023. After completing the course, Lect. Samala aims to share novel concepts and knowledge with S.S.P.O.’s staff members and students for more efficient and effective prosthetics and orthotics work and establish connections with international institutes in the Prosthetics and Orthotics field!

The I.S.P.O. 19^th World Congress offered a high-quality scientific programme presented by renowned international speakers. At the same time, companies from all continents will present their latest products and innovations in the international exhibition. The World Congress theme “The Art and the Science” brings together two important aspects of prosthetics, orthotics and mobility care. The “Art” can refer to elite craftsmanship and clinical experience that is applied when providing appropriate services for assistive technology consumers. Art can also relate to the personalization and artistic aspects of device design that incorporate the user’s personality and feelings, moving an assistive device beyond just a piece of technology. The “Science” incorporates innovation, evidence, and knowledge translation across the spectrum of prosthetic, orthotic, and mobility services to enable end-users to receive appropriate services at the right time, the right place, and the right cost.

The AACR Annual Meeting is the focal point of the cancer research community, where scientists, clinicians, other healthcare professionals, survivors, patients, and advocates gather to share the latest advances in cancer science and medicine. From population science and prevention; to cancer biology, translational and clinical studies; to survivorship and advocacy; the AACR Annual Meeting highlights the work of the best minds in cancer research from institutions all over the world.

Lect. Dr. Naruemit Sayabovorn, a lecturer from the Division of Ambulatory Medicine, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, attended and delivered a poster presentation on the topic “An Evaluation of Manual Guidebook in The Continuity of Care Clinic: The Opportunity For Coaching The Ambulatory Infectious Diseases Knowledge.” at the 33^rd European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2023) in Copenhagen, Denmark, between April 15^th – 18^th, 2023.

ECCMID 2023 is a seamless comprehensive hybrid congress that provides scientific, educational, and networking experiences for both ‘on-site attendees’ such as academic faculties, abstract presenters, and ‘remote attendees’ who cannot travel to fully enjoy the experience at ECCMID 2023!
