Faculty workload: Faculty of medicine Siriraj Hospital.

An analysis of the workload of staff of the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, was carried out in line with the Faculty’s policy to improve medical education and for future manpower planning. The results indicate that many clinical faculty members in several departments are overloaded with their clinical responsibilities making it difficult for them to maintain academic objective, while young pre-clinic faculty members do not have to take full responsibility for their duties. Pre-clinic faculty members should therefore increasingly participate in the teaching programme for medical students.
