HISTORY

At the establishment of Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital in 1965, Department of Anesthesiology, at that time known as the ‘Anesthesiology Unit’ in the Surgery Division located at 3rd floor of Building 1, was later established as the Department of Anesthesiology according to the Royal Decree for Establishment of Mahidol University dated 10th November 1970 and had moved to 5th floor. Later, the faculty requested temporary portions of the department’s space for the offices of Social Service, Public Relation and Personnel Division.

The Department of Anesthesiology is responsible for the teaching of Anesthesiology to years 5th and 6th medical students and certificate training for medical practitioner until 1984.

Apart from responsibility in the direct academic teaching, the Department of Anesthesiology is also aware of the responsibility for academic services to society in the medical profession, and had, therefore, initiated the graduate level teaching which is the residency training under the guidelines of the Medical Council of Thailand since 1972.
