Message from the President

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Despite the ongoing COVID-19 in our province, our annual convention couldn’t be missed. We have anticipated long enough to honor and conduct this month-long preparation and organization, just hanging in our corner – as they say, much-awaited events don't happen overnight.

INMS Convention ignites our passion and duties as doctors, as this event hones and adds fuel to our knowledge and skills. Doctors, from different areas, embark and share expertise with everyone. Moreover, INMS Convention happens as doctors, far and near within our reach and destinations, reserve time to converge and participate. As the bells and chimes rang as we end our term, it is only befitting to sound the ringing with the INMS 11th Convention “TIC-TALKS”.

The annual INMS Convention couldn’t happen without the efforts of the very own people who crafted and poured efforts to make this event the best for everyone – the Organizing Committee, the INMS Officers, and Advisers – every detail, every minor one was taken care of. Without missing a thing, everyone’s concerns and interests were considered to make this virtual event come to life – let us all acknowledge all the members who created this event with their unraveling efforts.

As our previous annual convention brought us together, our 11th annual convention is no other than another triumph for all of us in one way or another. This event makes our Society brighter than ever. It will always be our proudest moment to walk at this moment that brings us light, knowledge, and expertise. More than belonging to our local community is our part in the ONE strong PMA.

Without further ado, I hope that you will enjoy our 11th INMS Convention – where we would hold hands, exchange knowledge and expertise, and share our resources with one another as we take the path of our common goal.

Warm welcomes to all delegates of this 11th INMS Annual Convention.

AGBIAG ti INMS….AGBIAG ti PMA!

Sincerely,

Dr. Crislie Crispin D. Agullana, Jr.

Message from the Overall Chair

Dear Doctors & Friends,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am most pleased to extend to you a warm invitation to participate in the 11th INMS Annual Convention, our second virtual edition on March 9 to 13, 2022 via Zoom.

The main objective of this year’s convention is to discuss actual Interdisciplinary cases hence the theme, “INMS T.I.C. TALKS: Thoughts on Interdisciplinary Cases”. We also thought of adding essential topics both medical and non-medical that members consider relevant to their medical practice. This is designed to create a platform for the exchange of up-to-date information, expertise & perspective to improve the knowledge, competence & performance of our members that will in turn strengthen our medical practices and maximize the benefit to our patients especially in this challenging times.

Our scientific sessions continue to evolve and improve with the inputs and suggestions from our attendees from the previous INMS conventions making an already great meeting even more spectacular. We thank you for your inputs in the past and we hope you will have the opportunity to experience the enhancements and changes of our “11th INMS Annual Convention. Most importantly, we hope that this convention addresses the greater mission of our society, to promote the advancement of medical science thru continuing medical education programs while fostering fellowship among the members.

Lastly, I would like to give my sincerest gratitude and highest recognition to the members of the ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, our Advisers, INMS Officers and our dear sponsors. Thank you so much for your brilliant ideas, time and commitment for the LOVE of INMS!!!

We hope you will enjoy the convention and that our virtual interaction with our colleagues will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and will be personally rewarding. Thank you everyone for your continued support!

Yours truly,

DR. JOMARIE A. GAMIAO - RANADA
