Raissa Joyce Ronquillo-Guarin

It was January 2018 when I was notified that my research abstract entitled Adherence of Residents in Training of University of Perpetual Help DALTA Medical Center to the 2009 International Standards for Tuberculosis Care and Their correlation with Treatment Outcome was accepted for poster presentation at the ATS International conference.

It was my second time to have an abstract poster presentation, but this event was more exciting because of the travel award I received from the ISRD-APSR for being selected as one of top-ranked scientific ATS submitted poster abstracts from junior investigators.

The APSR facilitators and staff were very accommodating, and were of great help. I was able to socialize, converse and have exchange of views with them and to the other young investigators. The conference was very interesting and enriches my knowledge as well as my confidence.
