MESSAGE Edna Sarah C. Morada, MD Over-All Chair, 5th EAMC Scientific Forum East Avenue Medical Center

Welcome to the 5th Scientific Forum of the Department of Pediatrics of the East Avenue Medical Center! It is a great honor to have been designated as the over-all chair of this scientific forum. It is likewise a wonderful experience to work with highly capable colleagues and friends in the department.

We have prepared something that will perk up your interest. Something for the wellness of children and something for the wellness of healthcare providers.

This is truly a breakthrough because from a hibernation phase in offering scientific fora, we are moving forward to give you a palatable intellectual menu from the newborn to the adolescent…..and we are doing it onsite! We aim to achieve optimum protection for our children and offer a familycentered care by participating in this forum.

Let the learnings begin!

HISTORY OF EAMC DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS The Department of Pediatrics started as a phase IIB Philippine Pediatric Society accredited Department in 1983. We boast of a full complement of Pediatric subspecialties: Adolescent Medicine, Allergy and Immunology, Ambulatory Pediatrics, Cardiology, Child Protection Unit, Critical Care, Developmental Pediatrics, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Hematology, Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Nephrology, Neonatology, Neurology, Oncology, Pulmonology and Toxicology.

The Department actively remained in the forefront of national concerns by sending medical teams to the victims of natural disasters such as flood, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. We were among the pioneer advocates of breastfeeding in the country for which we were recognized by the World Health Organization and awarded us as a “Baby Friendly Hospital”.

We lend full support to the TB D.O.T.S (Tuberculosis, Directly Observed Treatment Strategy) among our in and out patients. Our Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units are fully equipped, while our Tumor Clinic serves the indigent cancer patients through the DOH Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Medicine Allocation Program (ALLMAP). Together with the Department of Medicine, we became a Satellite Center of the National Poison Control Center.

At present, we maintain active consultations and referral systems with Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Dermatology, Pediatric Neurosurgery, Pediatric Ophthalmology, Pediatric Urology, and Pediatric Anesthesiology.

The Department was accredited as Level II Pediatric Residency Program last January 2019.

03 Neonatology Fellowship Training

The Neonatology Fellowship Training Program, a three-year training program under the Section of Newborn Medicine, Department of Pediatrics at East Avenue Medical Center (EAMC) has achieved remarkable milestones, exemplifying a commitment to exceptional newborn care and continuous improvement.

Founded by Dr. Carina Cruz-Quimbo, the Section of Newborn Medicine was established to provide specialized and cost-effective care for newborns at EAMC. The fellowship training program received Category 1 Accreditation from the Philippine Society of Newborn Medicine in February 2017, overseen

by Dr. Maria Conchitina Bandong as the Training Officer, with board-certified neonatologists, including Dr. Marie Catherine Chua, Dr. Sharlene Seng, and Dr. Christine Corina Grace Basilla, as trainees at that time.

The Section has consistently demonstrated clinical excellence, with the pioneer fellows excelling in their specialty boards. Dr. Suzette DiplomaAldana topped the written examinations, while Dr. Chelsea Vicarez-Palogan secured the third-highest score. They were the first graduates of the fellowship training program to be inducted as Diplomates of the Philippine Society of Newborn Medicine.

The Section remains dedicated to contributing valuable knowledge and insights to the field of Newborn Medicine through ongoing research endeavors. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit underwent significant renovations in 2019, marking a commitment to creating a state-of-the-art environment for the care of newborns. The Section of Newborn Medicine continues to provide the highest standard of care for newborns and their families, with the goal of becoming a Neonatal Center of the Philippines by 2025.

Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Training East Avenue Medical Center, being a DOH referral center, has grown as a center for training in different specialties. The Allergy and Immunology Section, together with other subspecialties, were asked to look into the possibility of establishing their own Fellowship Training Program, which is a conjoined training of both internists and pediatricians. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country, the section was deluged with referrals, especially vaccine-related concerns. Dr. Linda Lim-Varona and Dr. Fredelita Carreon-Asuncion felt the strong need for EAMC to establish its own Allergy and Immunology Training Program. There was a wealth of learning and training opportunities in the center available for young physicians who are interested to specialize in the field of Allergy and Immunology. With the support of both the Department of Internal Medicine and the Department of Pediatrics, and in collaboration with well-renowned allergists, the Fellowship Training for Allergy and Immunology took off. At present, the Section has six fellows-in-training, and is awaiting accreditation of its Fellowship Training Program from the Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (PSAAI).

OUR MISSION To train fellows to provide expert medical care for patients with allergic and immunologic disorders and to be academic leaders in Allergy and Clinical Immunology as consultants, educators, advocates, social mobilizers and researchers OUR VISION To be a nationally recognized and highly competent training program in the field of Allergy and Immunology, offering the highest standards of services by 2028.
