Clinic Visit Part I - Western Pangasinan

It was August 24 when Dr. Virgie Petrola, Dr. Marissa Fernandez, and me (Dr. Amelyn R. Rafael) went out of our daily routine to do a much needed work for our Chapter - to go around entire Pangasinan to visit Chapter members. The whole day was devoted to Western Pangasinan. The primary purpose was to be able to invite members for our Postgraduate Course on September 21, 2017.

We started out early. Sad to say that our first encounter was not met with enthusiasm. The doctor was on a sour note. As officers, we came prepared for that.

The rest of the day was very productive. We were able to get members to register early and to pay their dues. Some doctors were very appreciative of what we were doing and we were very thankful for their understanding.

We were able to ask the help of GX, a pharmaceutical company, to be our transportation service for that day. Special thanks to Boss Archie of GX. Thank you very very much, Sir!

To Eastern Pangasinan doctors, see you on September 7!

August Board Meeting

We had our board meeting on August 17, 2017 at Lenox Hotel, Dagupan City. It was attended by eight officers of the chapter. The attendance was quite low compared to previous months but everything was accomplished.

All the salient points concerning our upcoming Postgraduate Course were discussed.

Module 2: Learning Bites on the B.U.S.H.

The PAFP Pangasinan Chapter held its second module entitled Learning Bites on the B.U.S.H. (burning mouth syndrome, ulcer, sore throat, halitosis) on August 3, 2017 at Lenox Hotel, Dagupan City. Our lecturer was Jonathan D. Babsa-ay, M.D. DFM, a native of Baguio City. It was a successful event. We had 21 attendees. It was sponsored by Johnson&Johnson.
