Mr. Nakae and Mr. Okumiyama participated in laboratory classes and practical training at Khon Kaen University, they visited various laboratories (biosensor, infectious disease, genetic testing, etc.) and university hospitals, and learned about the characteristics of clinical laboratories and medical systems in Thailand through interaction with local faculty and students.
They also had the experience to conduct thalassemia testing at the thalassemia laboratory.
Thalassemia testing is not common in Japan due to its low prevalence. Therefore, it was a valuable experience for them to understand the differences of clinical testing systems in different countries.
In their report, they also explained about the research being conducted in each laboratory at Khon Kaen University, the principles and methods of experiments, including the differences in instruments and methods used in Japan and Thailand. They also addressed their concerns about the language, travel expenses (including accommodation), and physical condition, and motivate their juniors to take the chance to study abroad through the exchange program.
