(The following details were last updated on 31 August 2021)
Background
There is an influx of literature at the forefront as the knowledge on commonly encountered respiratory diseases is rapidly evolving. Definitely, all of these should be placed in the proper perspective as we try to extract the best possible evidence and we translate these matters into the most optimal patient care. At the present, this may be challenging considering the busy schedule of clinicians especially during this pandemic.
This scientific session spearheaded by the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP) in collaboration with our international society partners in the field of pulmonary and critical care, will present the latest updates on certain respiratory diseases and also spotlight the local response from the country towards the control of this disease. This forum will provide a good learning platform as the delegates get to listen to current concepts and appreciate what are the undertakings and initiatives of the Filipino pulmonologists on the ground.
Proposed Format
Plenary lectures with 30-40 minutes allotted to the international speaker and 20 minutes will be given to the local Filipino speaker. A 30-minute open forum will be provided at the end of each session.
