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.

Dr. Jannil Monteverde, principal investigator, delivers an in-depth presentation on the Comparative Analysis of Pulmonary Function Tests in People Living with HIV (PLHIV), highlighting respiratory functions associated with Severe Pneumocystis pneumonia (P*P), and pulmonary tuberculosis coinfection. His findings help doctors better understand how these conditions impact breathing — and how to improve care for those affected.
A powerful step toward better health outcomes and more personalized treatment.

Dr. Carmelo Cortez, Principal Investigator, presents his study titled “Clinical Profile and Risk Factors of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients with HIV Admitted in a National Tertiary Referral Hospital in the Philippines.”

This retrospective analysis provides critical insights into the demographic, clinical, and risk factor patterns among co-infected patients, contributing to the evidence base for optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in high-burden healthcare settings.

The findings underscore the importance of integrated HIV-TB management and the need for strengthened hospital-based surveillance and intervention protocols.

Dr. Jan Michael Sombong, principal investigator, shares findings from his study on the Clinicodemographic Profile and Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Metallo-Beta Lactamase–Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections admitted to a national tertiary infectious disease hospital between 2020 and 2024.

This research sheds light on the challenges posed by multidrug-resistant bacterium, emphasizing the need for stronger infection control, early detection, and global collaboration in antimicrobial stewardship.

Conducted in San Lazaro Hospital, the study contributes to the global effort to combat antimicrobial resistance in high-risk healthcare settings.
