Final Update: Postgrad 2018

We have successfully submitted all necessary papers for the processing of PRC CPD units for this year's Postgraduate Course. We paid a processing fee of P1680. Yes, its more expensive this time. We hope that we will be given higher CPD units for both PRC and PAFP. This means that the date - August 10, 2018- is final.

Our next move? To do clinic visits and invite members once we have the number of CPD units at hand. Pretty hectic, huh?!! We hope that there's enough time to do everything as planned.

Booth participation is still open until the day before Postgrad. Keep inviting!

Board Meeting for May 2018

After the Zumba activity, we had our monthly board meeting at Casa del Camba, Alaminos City. It was preceded by a breakfast sponsored by Astra and a lecture on Diabetes by Dr. Rodolfo T. Rafael.

We talked about the activities we plan to do for the year 2018-2019 starting on a lecture on Healthy Lifestyle for Influenza Awareness Month, our first module on July 19, our activity for the Hepatitis B Campaign Month, our Postgraduate Course on August 10, our Tree Planting activity for the Medicine Week on September, and our free PPBS for the Elderly Week on October.

Zumba...again! for WFDD

The PAFP Pangasinan Chapter started early on May 19, 2018 for an electrifying, heart-pounding, muscle-soring Zumba activity to celebrate World Family Doctors Day. It was held at Lucap Wharf, Alaminos City. We had to get up early to be at our destination before the heat of the sun cause us to drench with perspiration. We were lucky it was partially gloomy which was perfect for a Zumba day.

We had three instructors taking turns for an hour showing us the groovy moves hard enough for most of us to follow. It was so much fun and totally enjoyable. An hour to be carefree and enjoy the company of friends.

Update on Postgrad 2018

For members who are still not aware, our Postgraduate Course this year is tentatively set on August 10. The officers are doing their best to meet the deadline of submission of PRC requirements in order to not move the schedule to another date.

As of this writing, there is just one slot left for lecture. This is the 4:00-5:00 p.m. time slot. Please help us fill the void by asking interested pharma companies to join. They might also be interested in joining by just having a booth inside the venue. Thank you all!

World Family Doctors Day 2018

As Family Doctors, or as Family Physicians, we invite all members of PAFP Pangasinan Chapter to celebrate the day with us. We are going to have Zumba at Pantalan, Alaminos City on May 19, 2018, a Saturday, at 6 a.m.

Most of you might be asking right now "Why there?". Well, a few months back, Dr. Carlos Prudencio suggested that we hold a board meeting in Western Pangasinan.  And this is it! We will be having the board meeting after the said activity.

So for all those interested, please join us on that day for the Zumba. Your family can also join us do the Zumba.Help us shout to the world that Family Doctors exist. See you there!
