I am writing from Bangkok, Thailand on behalf of RC of AMSA as well as 5 year medical student of International University that I had participated the EAMSC 21st (Earth Asian Medical Students’ Conference) which was held in Bangkok-Pataya, Thailand from 9 -12 January 2008 under the theme of “Alcohol as the social aspect”. I am also accompanied by another 5 year medical student, Mr. Hong Napich, under sponsorship of AMSA international and AMSATH as well as administration support of International University.
I am further more participated with the AMSA international executive committees meeting (ECM) before and after that.
Anyway, it was very amazing event that there are 12 countries/region and around 150 medical students gathering in one place to show their knowledge action and friendship. This is also the first time of Cambodia’s medical students having a good chance to appear the face in the international community of EAMSC. Actually, four days was past quickly but in our memory still keep this event of the rest of life.
At that time, with the conference focusing on the alcohol as the social aspect, many leading scientists, professors and doctor addressed the delegations from across Asia. The poster and paper presentations were of an extremely high standard with the judging proving to be very difficult. The hospital visits were equally stimulating, allowing students to explore the social, economic and medical implications of alcohol.
During, the cultural night was a lot of fun. Dancing, singing and laughing… everyone had a wonderful time and make many new friends from all over the Asia-Pacific regions which people of different culture background.
Overall, we experiences in the EAMSC this year was an enjoyable one filled with inspiration. And I certainly look forward the next AMSA International conference, because the chance to learn through the interaction from other medical students in Asia-pacific. I would have to pass my most sincere gratitude to the Organizing Committee in Thailand because they were a wonderful host. We wish to be a host in the future too.
