Roots of Hope!

Our tree planting activity was a huge success, sowing seeds for a greener future. This is a Community Medicine activity of the IM Department which is in line with Program Outcome #8 of the P*P OBE CBTP which is NATIONALISM, SOCIAL ADVOCACY, EQUITY, and ACCOUNTABILITY.

This event was made possible through the efforts of our Community Medicine Coordinator, Dr Geraldine Pon, and our Community Medicine Senior Resident-in-Charge, Dr Alyanna Arengo, of the Internal Medicine Department.

Together let us plant a tree, grow a tree and help protect our environment. Thanks to everyone who joined in and helped make a difference!

Insightful Discussions, Better Care!

Our first year resident, Dr Mia Lomongo-Mangahas, presented her Case Management on Torsades de Pointes in a Postpartum Patient. It was an interdepartmental conference between the Internal Medicine and OB-GYN departments and was attended by consultants and residents of said departments. It was an informative and engaging experience, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration.

We heartily thank our resource speakers, Dr Debra Urbina (IM Cardiology), Dr Macrine Amato (Neurology), and Dr Dayres Relliquete (OB-GYN Perinatologist), for their invaluable insights into this case.

Looking forward to the next one!
