Oral Presentation

•  "ViSim: Virtual Simulation for Medical Clinical Learning – A Novel Sustainable Development Approach in Medical Education"

• Presenter: Tanaporn Noicharoen (Third-Year Medical Cadet)

• Research Focus: Introduces ViSim, a virtual simulation platform designed to enhance clinical learning experiences for medical students. This study explores how interactive and sustainable digital simulations can improve clinical reasoning, diagnostic skills, and patient management training.

Poster Presentations

• "ChatGPT in Early Medical Training: A Catalyst for Success or a Shortcut to Forgetfulness?"

  • Presenter: Maj. Yutthana Pansuwan

  • Research Focus: Investigates the advantages and limitations of using ChatGPT in early medical education. This study explores whether AI-based learning tools serve as effective enhancers for knowledge acquisition or if they risk fostering over-reliance and reduced long-term retention.

• "The Blurry Barrier: Exploring the Risk Factors and Academic Impact of Dry Eye Disease in Pre-Clinical Medical Students"

• Presenter: Pitchsinee Oimpitiwong (Second-Year Medical Student)

• Research Focus: Investigates the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) and associated risk factors among pre-clinical medical students, along with its impact on academic performance. The study aims to raise awareness of environmental and lifestyle factors contributing to DED and propose strategies for prevention and management among medical students.

• "Exploring Medical Students' Perspectives on the Role of ChatGPT in Enhancing Medical Learning"

  • Presenter: Miruntee Duangmusit (Third-Year Medical Cadet)

  • Research Focus: Examines how AI tools like ChatGPT impact medical education, knowledge retention, and self-directed learning.

• "AVAMS: Automating Visual AI-Infused Mnemonics and Storytelling for Enhancing Memorization in Medical Education"

• Presenter: Kittiyada Limruangrong (Third-Year Medical Cadet)

• Research Focus: Develops an AI-driven system that integrates mnemonics and storytelling to optimize medical students’ memorization and comprehension.
