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.
62nd AC Pre-Convention Registration – Philippine Pediatric Society, Inc.
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.
COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS
Can I visit the exhibits at Conrad and Okada?
YES. You may visit the booth exhibits at Okada or Conrad whether you are F2F or live streaming.
