【Clinical Observership Program】
Dr. Rathanon Leevongsakorn, a Clinical Care Nephrology Fellow at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, returned to UTH for participating in a Clinical Observership Program in March 2026 at the Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine.
He had participated in the observership program at our Division of Nephrology and Endocrinology two years ago.

He says his clinical journey has solidified his fascination with the complex interplay between critical illness and organ support, particularly renal function in sepsis and, this time, his objective was to further enhance his knowledge with focus on his specialty area for becoming a Critical Care Nephrologist at a public hospital in his hometown.

One of the new experiences for him this time was caring the post-lung transplant patients, which was very few in Thailand. Also, he deepened his perspectives on the essential aspect of “working as a team” consist of multidisciplinary members for providing critical care under the leadership of Professor Kent Doi.

Just like Dr. Leevongsakorn, some of the Residents/Fellows in the past have come back for the second placement opportunity at UTH, which contributed to each of their professional growth further on.
