" I am Clinical Professor, Dr. Suvichai Rojanasathien, who is now acting Dean of the Royal College of Veterinary Medicine, Walailak University. I would like to inform you about the principles and background of the College of Veterinary Medicine. This is where there are principles and methods of action in regards to the production of a good bachelor of veterinary medicine with the potential to go out to serve society and develop oneself further.

            I would like to mention about the shortfall of current veterinary graduates is that there is too little self-learning process. Teachers often use methods to feed knowledge to learners. They believe that it will make the learners have a lot of knowledge and use the current exam process to measure their memory to determine whether the learner is good or not. Therefore, the process of learning and finding solutions to various problems of the students decreased implicitly. Hence, the quality of graduates does not meet the needs of the world of the near future. Those who have a smart problem solving process will be a successful survivor. Moreover, communication skills in foreign languages are also a deficit that hinders ability. This reduces the chances of working abroad or working with foreigners.

           With the vision of Walailak University administrators University Council therefore approved to establish and request the name of the College of Veterinary Medicine Walailak University which conducts teaching and learning in an international system throughout the course and has adopted the British Framework of Professional Standards from UK (UKPSF) for Teaching and Supporting Quality Learning used for teaching. This provide teachers with skills and abilities become more professional in teaching including to provide students with skills in thinking, analyzing, and synthesizing rather than memorizing. All of which are in line with the professional standards of the Veterinary Council of Thailand.

           By the principles and methods mentioned above I am therefore confident that every veterinary doctor from Walailak University will have the knowledge and ability to succeed in their careers and lead a smooth life in the future. "
