The Excellence Center has been continuously developing its service and advanced technology equipment since nasal and sinus surgery was introduced for the first time in Thailand. There was nasal and sinus surgical training in the donated body in 1999 and such training has continued to the present, resulting in a great reputation for this Excellence Center internationally. There was also a 1 – year clinical fellowship course in rhinology, allergy and the skull base in 2006.

Later, the program was lengthened into a 2 – year course in 2015 for the expansion of knowledge, efficiency of surgery skill and dimensional expertise in R&D.
