THE EVENT

What is the format of the 62nd Annual Convention?

The 62nd Annual Convention may be experienced in different ways.  Plenaries will be available Face-to-Face at the Theatre at Solaire, and available via livestream for registrants physically present at the Conrad Manila and through the PPS Portal.

PLENARY SESSIONS

PRE-CONVENTION WORKSHOPS

Four (4) representatives shall be provided by the Chairman of every HAB-accredited hospital to attend each of the four (4) pre-convention workshops.

The Chairman of the Department can internally assign the topics to the 4 institutional representatives of their hospital then submit to the Pre-Convention Registration Form.

The Chairman shall be responsible for forwarding to each respective institutional representative all pre-convention workshop reading materials or case assignments which must be completed per topic prior to the pre-convention workshop date.

Pre-Convention Workshop Fee: Php 1,500/session so a total of Php 6,000/ institution for the 4 sessions.

Payment for the Pre-Convention Workshop is through the PPS Office or Payment Portal (https://paymongo.page/l/62nd-precon).

There are limited slots (30 per symposium) available on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis for interested PPS members who are NOT representatives of HAB accredited hospitals.

Symposium 5 Newborn Hearing Screening Certifying Course of the DOH – NIH.
This is by invitation ONLY. Each PPS accredited hospital must sent 1 representative who is a member of PPS ( Diplomate, Fellow, Emeritus Fellow) and an active staff of the Department of Pediatrics.

What if we cannot produce 4 institutional representatives for the Pre-Convention Workshop?

In as much as we encourage each HAB accredited institution to complete all 4 slots to maximize learning from the 4 sessions, we fully understand our current limitations.

Best effort is still to be complete 4 institutional representatives if possible.

Can one (1) institutional representative represent two (2) institutions of affiliation?

In as much as we encourage each HAB accredited institution to complete all 4 slots to maximize learning from the 4 sessions, we fully understand our current limitations.

Hence, we will accept situations where 1 pediatrician represents 2 institutions as long as both institutions represented pay the pre-convention workshop fee SEPARATELY, so separate Certificates of Attendance can be issued.

Best effort is still to be complete 4 institutional representatives if possible.
