The Philippine Dermatological Society in its desire to help the public distinguish legitimate, board certified dermatologists from fake pseudodermatologists, conceptualized the making of a sign or symbol that PDS members can easily display or use in their respective clinics. The "Seal of Excellence" was thus finally made public last .. The Research Institute for Tropical Medicine in cooperation with the Philippine Dermatological Society & the Contact Dermatitis Subspecialty Core Group would like to invite you to the CME this month.
