In light of the recent earthquake and as per advised by the P*P and the organizing committee, the Interhospital Grand Rounds will be postponed today and will be rescheduled to a later date.

This decision has been made to prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants and attendees. The venue will undergo a thorough inspection by management to ensure it remains safe and structurally sound before any future gatherings are held.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. Let us all continue to pray for the safety and recovery of everyone affected.
Stay safe.

In the heart of Iloilo, a new challenge arises. Across residency institutions, the call has gone out.
"Trainers, assemble. Your knowledge will be tested. Your skills, pushed to the limit.”

On October 1, 2025, the 5th Floor Conference Room of WVSU-MC will transform into a battleground — not of fire, water, or psychic types, but of clinical brilliance, diagnostic power, and academic evolution.

Teams from all corners of the city will enter the arena. Send forth your strongest "trainers" to crack the case, outsmart your rivals, and prove that your clinical skills are truly legendary.

So grab your lab coats, channel your inner Professor Oak, and get ready to present, battle, and evolve. Because in this league...

"Only one can be the very best, like no one ever was."
