It is with great pleasure that I warmly welcome each of you to the Philippine College of Physicians’ 53rd Annual Congress!   2023 proves to be an exciting year for the College as we celebrate our 70th Year Anniversary. As we continue to grow and adapt to the changing times, keeping ourselves motivated and responsive to our patient’s needs. 

To commemorate the 70 years of learning, we have prepared pre-congress activities to jump start the celebration, the Nutrition summit in January, IM Boot Camp in February for our residents and the UHC Summit in March.   

The three-day-congress highlights the keynote, plenary lectures, and e-poster presentations with academic and Industrial scientific sessions. The Scientific Committee prepared an exciting array of lectures for members to have fruitful learning interactions.   After three years of virtual conferences, I hope you take this opportunity to come and learn with us as we celebrate our platinum year.
