The Faculty of Medicine, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang () is the first international medical school in Thailand Lat Krabang District, Bangkok.
On 27 April 2016, the council of King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang approved the set up of a Faculty of Medicine. As the institution's first health science faculty, the international MD program curriculum was based on four major teaching outcomes including 1) Medical Professionalism, 2) Research Capability, 3) 21st Century Skills, and 4) Internationalization to develop more responsive 21st century medical doctors who possess the research capabilities to develop medical innovations to reduce the Thailand's healthcare burden. The program was approved on 16 February 2018 and was opened for first student admission since mid-2018. The faculty is Thailand's first ever international program for medicine and the current designated teaching hospitals are operated by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.
Founding Dean, Professor Anan Srikiatkhachorn, M.D. sat at the helm of this innovative international medical program for over 9 years and as his second term has ended in November 2025, Professor Somchai Tanawattanacharoen, M.D. was officially appointed as the new Dean of MDKMITL in the same month. Both Deans share the same vision in harnessing the power of innovation and medical education excellence to navigate the changing healthcare landscapes of the future.
