We are now at the dawn of PCP’s Jubilee Year, at 59 years old. As we approach this period we cannot help but reflect on how we have achieved the vision and mission our past and current leadership set out to do. More importantly, how have we positioned ourselves as leaders in the area of health and healthcare delivery, which is and should be our main contribution to nation building? We have agreed early on in the Board that the programs and objectives we set out to do should withstand at least three to five presidents. Which was why at the start of my presidency, I emphasized that I will not introduce new programs/projects, seeing that the presidents who preceded me have laid down the grand plan and groundwork for bigger tasks ahead. The leaders before me have planted seeds of advocacies, professionalism, and community development. The duty of watering and growing these seeds, therefore, falls on my lap. Internally, we have set up controls to further improve our operations. We hired our own resident accountant, finance officer and external auditor to safeguard our finances. Our committees in charge of training were proactive in disseminating and improving the principles and guidelines for residency training programs. Our membership and CME committees continue to collaborate with the Philippine Medical Association in order to meet its standards and requirements. This year also, we made bolder steps in terms of our advocacy campaigns. We partnered with the DOH in helping curb the surge of non-communicable diseases or NCDs through reduction of Filipino smokers and in promoting healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. We have hosted the meetings of the Task Force on Front of Package Labeling which is designed to help consumers make healthier food choices and to encourage food manufacturers and establishments develop healthier products. And more importantly, we have taken an active role in pushing for the approval of the restructuring taxes on tobacco and alcohol products (HB 5727), thus taking a stand in protecting the young and the poor from the ill effects of tobacco and alcohol products. At the beginning of this fiscal year, the Board of Regents and the chairpersons of our committees met for an organizational assessment workshop that will set the tone for our work this year. Immediately after that, these leaders began the work, implementing ideas and strategies that have far more impact. The struggles they face made us ‘think-out-of-the-box” and opened us to new and innovative ideas, that posed a greater challenge for our future leaders to address. This is the PCP that we have now; ever-growing, ever-changing, ever-expanding, and aspiring always to be relevant to the health needs of our country. The proceeding pages are the accomplishments of our committees.

The Filipino Internist is the official newsletter of the Philippine College of Physicians.

In so doing, the newsletter enables the members to keep abreast of the activities of the College, to vent out their opinions and views on issues that are raised within the College, and to participate in national issues and advocacies that concern Filipino physicians in general and as PCP fellows in particular. The Filipino Internist newsletter is available to members and partners anytime through the PCP website. All issues will be posted on the PCP website which members can download. Only those issues that will be distributed during annual and midyear conventions will be printed to participants. There will be no mailing of newsletters.

Health Professions Educator : Dr. Roel AP Romero Dr. Manuel C. Jorge I. Committee Goals
A. Primary Goal
The primary goal of the PSBIM is to administer an examination that is truly valid, fair and reflective of the knowledge and performance of a graduate of a three year residency training program in Internal Medicine, and likewise, is relevant to our clinical practice.
Page 6/PR2012 B. Specific Goals
To achieve this primary goal, the PSBIM worked on specific objectives as follows:
1. To prepare the examiners especially the junior members of the board for the
big task ahead.
- Hence, an orientation workshop was done on the very first regular
meeting of the board. They were likewise reminded of the rules on test
construction.
2. To prepare the exam questions intended for a generalist in Internal Medicine
and not for a subspecialist.
- As such, examiners were assigned to formulate questions that are not
within their field of sub-specialization. However, it was ensured that in
each group, there was a content expert to check on the accuracy and
validity of the question.
3. To have a more intensive review and critiquing of the questions to avoid
possible sources of errors and ambiguity in the final exam.
- To achieve this, all blueprints and questions were reviewed by the
respective group leaders after which, the same were also extensively
reviewed by the chairman. These were done prior to the regular board
meetings wherein the same questions and blueprints undergo extensive
intra-group, inter-group and plenary discussions. On top of this, we had
two oversight meetings, instead of just one.
4. To choose a venue that is conducive for the examinees and yet affordable
for the PCP.
- Fortunately, with Dr. Fajardo’s help, we were able to use the FEU-
NRMF Institute of Medicine Building as a very suitable venue at a very
affordable cost.
5. To raise the passing percentage to at least 60%. The current passing
percentage is already close to this target.
6. To work hand in hand with the Residency Training Program Committee and
the Accreditation Committee for a more cohesive and comprehensive
residency training evaluation.
- In line with this, the PSBIM gave feedback to the RTP especially on
matters concerning the new glossary of diseases.
7. To build a cohesive team who can work together harmoniously to achieve
our goals.
- Although, we didn’t have a prior team building seminar, the board was
generally able to work harmoniously and cohesively. A team building
activity was later conducted together with the workshop on Item
Analysis.
II. Accomplishments
A. The 2012 PSBIM Exams
The single most important accomplishment of the PSBIM was the successful preparation and administration of the 2012 PSBIM Written Certifying Examination at the FEU – NRMF Institute of Medicine Building last January 22, 2012. It was conducted smoothly with no problems encountered. There were a total of 632 examinees, one of the highest numbers in the recent years. The examination had a reliability index of 89.01%, which is the highest in the last seven years.
Page 7/PR2012 A total of 354 out of 632 examinees passed giving a percentage passing rate of 56.01%, which, together with last year’s passing rate, are the two highest in the most recent years. Although, a little short of our target passing rate of 60%, this was still close to our goal.
B. QUADCOM Meetings
The PSBIM also met with the Chair of the RTP to give feedback especially concerning the new glossary of diseases. We also met with the Chair of the PSGIM concerning the core competencies in General Internal Medicine. Together with the Accreditation and RTP Committees, as well as the PSGIM, the QUADCOM was formed.
C. PMA Concerns
We likewise attended meetings and workshops conducted by the PMA in preparation for the full implementation of the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Agreement in 2015.
D. Item Analysis Workshop
An item analysis workshop was successfully conducted last March 30 – April 1, 2012 at the Kamana, Resort in Subic Bay. Difficult and non-discriminating questions were analyzed to identify the possible sources of errors and difficulties.
E. Team Building Workshop
I facilitated a half-day team building workshop for the board members. It was an enlightening, fun and a very productive activity, not to mention that it was a first for the PSBIM.
F. PSBIM Hour
Planning and preparation for the PSBIM Hour during the Annual Convention was likewise done after the Item Analysis Workshop. The PSBIM Hour is scheduled in the afternoon on May 7, 2012.

2. To provide a formative tool to the training programs which they can use to
assess the knowledge gained by their trainees.
The Self-Assessment Modules (SAM) of the PCP RITE Committee will be on-line formative evaluation tools that the residents-in-training can utilize to assess their knowledge on the most common diseases. Currently, there are two modules available on-line via the PCP website.
