45th Annual Convention ~ PAMET Presidents Message

Greetings!

The Philippine Association of Medical Technologists, Inc. (PAMET) is pleased to announce the 45th Annual Convention to be held at Manila Hotel on November 25- 27, 2009.

The theme for this year's convention "Medical Technologists: On a Higher Leap Amidst Global Challenges" poses the challenge to everyone to envision the future of our profession.

Let us join hands and make a higher leap to meet the challenges brought about by global changes and competitiveness.

Attend this forward-looking PAMET Annual Convention and benefit from the stimulating program prepared by the Organizing Committee.   Discover the latest trends in your fields and areas you are most interested. A number of scientific papers will be presented. It is our hope that you will gain enough information which you can bring home to your institution.

Just like what we do every year, we are going to honor the four PAMET's major awardees: The Most Outstanding Medical Technologist, Distinguished Service Award, Crisanto Almario Research Award and the Most Outstanding Chapter's Award.

An integral part of the convention is the Diagnostic's exhibits, which provides chance for diagnostic companies to present a new perspective of the ever-widening range of technology available for Med Techs. There will be an exhibit hall with representatives from many major diagnostic companies providing time to learn about the most recent technological advancements.

Many exciting events are planned for the Convention this year, including the Fellowship Dinner celebrating PAMET at 45 followed by a great dance band so everyone can party the night away.

I look forward to seeing each one of you there.

In behalf of PAMET Officers and Board of Directors, I convey my warmest greetings to all the delegates of the 44''' PAMET Annual Convention.

The organizing committee has taken great efforts to ensure stimulating program by bringing together experts from variety of fields who will share their knowledge to provide updates on the latest developments in laboratory technology. Take part in the round table discussions because this will pave the way to the directions where we would like Med Techs to go.

Just like what we do every year, we are going to honor the four PAMET's major awardees:   the Most Outstanding Medical Technologist, Distinguished Service Awardee Crisanto Almario  Research Awardee and the Most Outstanding Chapter's Awardee.

An integral part of the convention is the diagnostic exhibits, which provide chance for   diagnostic companies to present a new perspective of the ever-widening range of technology   available for Med Techs. There will be an exhibit hall with representatives from many major diagnostic companies providing time to learn about the most recent technological   advancements.

We hope to expand once more in the variety of aspects of laboratory technology and look forward to another outpouring of creative exuberance, to deepening bonds of friendship and networking with peers. The profound lessons from the experts will help enhance our personal and technical skills and hopefully will open avenues of opportunities to everyone. We would like to thank the complete support given to the Association by everyone. Without you, we cannot pursue PAMET's goals and objective.

Mabuhay ang Med Techs!
