Dr. Suraphong Lorsomradee Chiang Mai University, Thailand An internationally recognized educator in anesthesia and critical care, this nominee has dedicated his career to advancing clinical practice across Asia, particularly in resource-limited settings. Following a fellowship in cardiac and transplantation anesthesia in Belgium and a PhD from Keio University in Tokyo, his research has focused heavily on hemodynamics, cardioprotection, and functional recovery. He has translated this expertise into tailor-made workshops and live demonstrations throughout Southeast Asia, advocating that any technique can be successful if its limitations and pitfalls are thoroughly understood. Driven by a commitment to his peers, he co-founded multiple vital organizations—including the cardiac and transplantation anesthesia societies of Thailand, and the Asia Oceanic Community of Intravenous Anesthesia (AOCIVA)—to bridge the gap between advanced university hospital technologies and accessible, non-invasive regional platforms. Currently leading international cooperation and strategic planning for Thailand's council of graduate studies, he possesses extensive experience in multi- and interdisciplinary collaboration across Thai-international universities. His workshops intentionally move beyond clinical training to foster research inspiration, multicultural adaptation, professional happiness, and work-life balance despite widespread manpower shortages. Backed by an Indian government award investigating sociological barriers to implementing healthcare protocols, his career reflects a deep understanding of cultural diversity and a lifelong willingness to connect people. His robust collaborative track record, leadership in professional societies, and unwavering dedication to uplifting the Asian medical community make him an ideal nominee for the WFSA Council.
