Teaching Workshop

BOHOL BEACH CLUB, PANGLAO ISLAND APRIL 8 to 10, 2011

Since its conceptualization in 1999, the teaching seminar became an annual/biannual event of the CT-MRI Society of the Philippines. Its main objective is to render continuing medial education on the basics, advances and current topics in CT and MR imaging, in order to guide medical practitioners in their daily practice. It normally consists of 1-2 days of didactic lectures and interactive workshops done by a faculty of Radiologists who are experts in their respective fields of practice and interest.

The excitement stirred among radiologists by the formal announcement during the latter part of 2008, specifically during the joint annual convention of CT-MRISP and USP, of the venue for the 2009 CT-MRI teaching seminar Workshop, did not wane until this very day – BORACAY ISLAND! And who would not be hyped up by the mere thought of one of the world’s most sought paradise nestled in the Visayas; the sights, sound, sea and sands of Boracay will definitely drift one off of one’s day-to-day care.

It was the joint efforts of Dr. Renato Carlos and Dr. Cesar Co that led to the advent of teaching seminars, which concentrated on a specific organ system at a time. This approach aimed to give radiologists more detailed knowledge of the clinical applications of CT and MRI to specific organs of the body.
