(1888PressRelease) March 05, 2013 - Bangkok, Thailand - The International Affiliation Center (IAC) is solely dedicated to developing a network of esteemed American healthcare institutions which have committed to a professional relationship with Bangkok Hospital. The goal is to acknowledge the global expanse of the medical profession and to align Bangkok Hospital with prominent academic hospitals which have a recognized international reputation for clinical quality, research protocols, and educational excellence.

Chatree Duagnet, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Bangkok Hospital, said the vision behind the IAC was to forge a path into the future of international medicine with US partnerships based on mutual trust, shared knowledge and resources. In doing this, the leading private hospital in Bangkok would establish the trend for reciprocal sharing of expertise across international boundaries based on mutual pursuit of clinical and technical advancement.

Heading up the newly established IAC as its Director is Virginia Maripolsky. Uniquely qualified for the project, Ms. Maripolsky brings with her more than 40 years of experience in the field of nursing, including time in the United States as a practitioner, educator, counselor and administrator. She has contributed to various international publications on key international accreditation issues in the areas of benchmarking, international tracer methodology and best practices.

Bangkok Hospital recognizes - that with today's near-instant communication technology such as the internet - the key to excellence in healthcare systems is the ability to capture innovations and advancements as they materialize. Initial efforts with the IAC will focus on utilizing telemedicine technology to broadcast regular active case conferences and educational exchanges between the Thailand hospital and its United States colleagues.

Networking and negotiations have been initiated to link the BMC centers of excellence - Cancer, Cardiovascular, Neurology, and Orthopedics - with US organizations also specializing in these medical fields and who are involved in research and academics. Activities that will be associated with the IAC include:

• Training and education
• Observership/Elective rotations in the United States
• On-site teaching and training by international faculty
• International Standardization and benchmarking
• Clinical practice guidelines
• International Symposium/conference collaboration
• Single institution to large multinational research studies
