The Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital (Thai: คณะแพทยศาสตร์วชิรพยาบาล) is a Medical School located in Bangkok, Thailand. The Faculty has its origin as a medical college, previously known as BMA Medical College & Vajira Hospital (วิทยาลัยแพทยศาสตร์กรุงเทพมหานครและวชิรพยาบาล). The school is run in collaboration with Vajira Hospital, Mahidol University and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Medical Department. The Faculty has become a part of the newly established Navamindradhiraj University (formerly University of Bangkok Metropolis).
Vajira Hospital is the fourth public hospital built in Siam, founded in 1912 by H.M. the King Vajiravudh. It is one of the first hospitals to employ modern medicine and practices. Vajira Hospital intends to provide the people of Bangkok with efficient primary health care. It was named by the King Vajiravudh, who came to open the hospital on January 2, 1912. Its earliest buildings are located on Samsen road, in present-day Dusit District, Bangkok.
Vajira Hospital established a medical school in 1985, the 8th in Thailand, in cooperation with Srinakharinwirot University, as the Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital, Srinakharinwirot University. The Faculty was organized by Vajira Hospital and was funded by the University. A few years later Bangkok Metropolitan Administration planned to start their own medical program, established as BMA Medical College. This became an affiliated institution with Mahidol University, as the 3rd medical school of Mahidol University. In 1993, the college began opening admission process for students.
