What a day!!!!! After my Ateneo MBAH class, this is the first time that I got to attend again a non Philippine Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine (PARM) convention. The Philippine Rheumatological Associaton (PRA) convention is an annual event that deals with updates on the present management, diagnostic procedures and trends with rheumatological conditions.
I was a bit surprised that as a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, my other colleagues in the field are also in the convention. We were joking that it seems that it is a PARM convention. The first day was quite a medical information overload but definitely it was worth every moment.
Dr. Bee Giok Tan Sales my chairperson in the hospital I hold my clinic was one of the guest speaker. She discussed the functional impairements that come with rheumatological conditions.
What I like the most among the topics was the evidence based approach regarding the current studies that plague the new anti-inflammatory drugs, specifically the COX-2 type of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
I do hope PARM invites the speaker for our own convention. Quite a lecture.
Tomorrow will be day 2. Hopefully it will be as medically rich in content as day 1.
Blog out.
