Manichaya “Mafueng” Sukonpatip - Medicine

Manichaya Sukonpatip, a fifth-year medical student at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University, is focused on helping people lead healthier lives — including herself.

“I was always the one who struggled with studying. I knew I would need to discover new ways to learn if I wanted to become a doctor.”

The rigor and intensity of medical school pushed Manichaya to find the best tools to help increase her productivity, organizational skills, and retention.

“iPad is extremely helpful for a medical student. It enables me to create colorful content that makes it easy to identify anatomy and understand how the human body works. Plus, writing with Apple Pencil is smooth and natural. Its functionality is dynamic and user friendly.”

Amplifying her notes with drawings, clips, and imagery helps Manichaya remember information better, and her Apple technology supports a seamless workflow. Before lectures, she imports her professor’s presentations into Goodnotes on iPad or AirDrops them from her peers.

iPad has transformed her academic experience so much that she began creating videos featuring her top study and school-life balance tips. “I use iPhone to record my note-taking videos, then drop them on Mac to edit and publish.”

Today, she has many followers on social media who look to her as an icon of productivity and source of inspiration.

“iPad has helped me learn new techniques to be successful — I feel good sharing that knowledge to help others.”
