We proudly celebrate the completion of fellowship training for our latest cohort of internists in Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine. After two years of intensive clinical work, academic study, and research, these fellows are now returning to their institutions across the country — equipped with specialized knowledge and a deepened commitment to advancing infectious disease care in the Philippines.

This batch has exemplified excellence throughout their training, and their achievements speak volumes:

✅ Top 1 in the 2024 Fellows-in-Training Examination
✅ Second Place – Clinico-Pathologic Conference, PSMID 2024
✅ Five Case Reports presented at the PSMID 2024 Poster Sessions
✅ Three Case Reports for poster presentation at ECCMID 2025 in Vienna, Austria
✅ Two Retrospective Research Projects accepted for presentation at IDWeek 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
✅ Training Program Accredited for Four Years — a testament to the program’s academic rigor and institutional excellence

These accomplishments reflect not only the fellows’ commitment to clinical excellence, scholarly contribution, and global engagement in the field of infectious diseases; but also the strength of the training program and the unwavering support of our faculty and institutional partners.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to this exemplary group and look forward to the impact they will continue to make in their communities and beyond.
