As CEO of AMEE, I have the immense privilege of meeting our members, partners and delegates around the world. These meetings provide insight and inspiration that the AMEE team use to continually improve and develop our organisation.
Every year, we are proud to welcome a large number of delegates from Thailand to our annual conference and we value deeply the enthusiastic participation and ongoing engagement from the Thai health professions education community. So, you can imagine how delighted I was to have the opportunity recently to visit Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok and meet some of the inspiring people who work there.
I was fascinated to learn directly about the work of the university from faculty and students and hear about some of the initiatives being developed. I was also delighted to be able to express our gratitude to them in person, for their ongoing support and engagement to AMEE. As part of my visit, I also delivered a keynote presentation titled “Connect, Grow and Inspire: Leadership Insights from AMEE.” The session was very well-attended and generated thoughtful questions and lively discussion, reflecting the shared passion for advancing healthcare professions education.
I believe that truly engaging with our global membership and partners is critical to our work supporting individuals and institutions in shaping the future of healthcare professions education. Therefore, connecting with our international community, and learning from them, through meetings such as this is central to achieving AMEE’s vision and mission and I am looking forward to continuing these important meetings in the future.

I would like to thank everyone at Chulalongkorn University for their generous welcome, in particular:
