AMS Community Academic Services The Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences (AMS), Chiang Mai University consists of 4 departments: Department of Medical Technology, Department of Radiologic Technology, Department of Physical Therapy and Department of Occupational Therapy.  It provides a B.S. degree in these 4 areas.

One principal mission of the university is to provide community outreach services. Each individual department of the Faculty had been following this principal mission until 1994.

After 1994, the Faculty established “Community Academic Services” to introduce the Faculty and its four departments to the public. Services’ missions are to provide health related knowledge and medical checkup services in these 4 areas. These include providing public health awareness and updated knowledge especially in promoting public wellbeing and disease prevention for remote setting communities. The focus groups of these services are elderly, people who don’t have an access to a healthcare provider and pre-school and school children.

The academic services are provided by healthcare professionals and senior students. In response to the national health promotion policy, we also have cooperated with community leaders and local government administration officials to work on these services. The cooperation will promote the community leaders public health awareness, which in turn will sustain development and promoting public health awareness and disease prevention activities in the community. Furthermore, quality of life for the people will be improved.
