Walailak University (WU) continues to elevate its global engagement as the School of Medicine (SMD) participated in the 4th Annual Global Health Conference, held from 29 September to 1 October 2025 in Danbury, Connecticut, USA. The conference, themed “Voices for Change: Advancing Health Equity Through Education and Global Collaboration,” brought together international experts, researchers, and practitioners dedicated to addressing pressing global health challenges, sharing innovative research, and fostering meaningful academic collaboration.

The SMDWU delegation included: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chuchard Punsawad, Dean of the School of Medicine, Assoc. Prof. Nonthapan Phasuk, Associate Dean, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Auemphon Mordmuang, Assistant Dean for International Affairs, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Lunla Udomwech, Elective Program Coordinator under the Nuvance Health partnership.

Throughout the conference, representatives from the School of Medicine were invited by Nuvance Health to serve as panelists in key plenary and breakout sessions, reflecting the University’s growing recognition in global health education and research. 

Their participation also showcased the School’s academic strengths and its active role in addressing emerging global health issues, advancing clinical education, and strengthening international collaboration.



A major highlight of the event was the achievement of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Auemphon Mordmuang, who was awarded the prestigious Majid Sadigh, MD Scholarship, valued at $10,000 USD, from the Global Health Academy, Nuvance Health. The scholarship recognizes individuals demonstrating exceptional dedication to promoting Health Equity and expanding access to essential healthcare services for underserved populations.

Reflecting on her recognition, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Auemphon shared: “Receiving this scholarship means far more than personal recognition. It represents a shared commitment to advancing health equity and strengthening global collaboration. Attending the Global Health Conference has been an extraordinary opportunity to connect with experts, educators, and leaders from around the world. It allowed me to present our work, exchange ideas, and learn innovative approaches that can strengthen our programs at Walailak University, and I look forward to continuing this momentum by developing joint research projects, expanding student and faculty mobility, and bringing new global health initiatives to Thailand.”

This achievement marks an important milestone for the SMD and underscores WU’s leading role in global health engagement, research innovation, and international academic collaboration.
