It was an exciting afternoon on October 6, 2017, in conjunction with the Joint Annual Convention of the CTMRI Society of the Philippines and Ultrasound Society of the Philippines as we witnessed many eager radiologists entering the Roma Room at The Manila Hotel to attend the organizational meeting of the Skeletal Radiology Society of the Philippines.
Dr. Eugene Dy spearheaded the meeting and introduced the musculoskeletal imaging interest group under the SEC-registered name of Skeletal Radiology Society of the Philippines and reiterated that this is the only permanent aspect of the society at the moment, the SEC-registered name. Other features of the society, including its’ membership and constitution are subject to discussion. The society aims to provide the best resource for musculoskeletal imaging in the country.
The attendees, which included none other than the President of the Philippine College of Radiology, Dr. Gerome Gaerlan, were eager to ask questions.
We also took the opportunity to have a photo-op with Dr. Dy.
