History
Funding was allocated in 1994 in a proposal to expand the 'Burapha University Health Sciences Center' into a university hospital, along with setting up a new faculty for Medicine specifically. The faculty was set up on 2 September 2002 and the Doctor of Medicine degree was approved by the group of universities on 10 February 2003 and the first cohort of 32 medical students were admitted for the 2007 academic year, following approval from the Medical Council of Thailand. The first group of students consisted only of students completing high school education in 12 provinces: Samut Prakan, Nakhon Nayok, Chachoengsao, Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi, Trat, Prachinburi, Lopburi, Saraburi and Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, with the expectation to provide future medical personnel particularly in Eastern Thailand.[1]
