 | Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch And it's time for #HealthXPH tweet chat. Let's talk about continuing professional development (CPD). Who's out there?! |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @wareFLO Thankfully! Hi Chuck! #healthxph |
 | Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO Chuck! #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch I'm Iris, internist-endocrinologist from Manila. Welcome to #HealthXPH tweet chat! I'm moderating tonight. |
 | Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman Joining #HealthXPh chat from Maryland to talk about the need for continuing professional development with @endocrine_witch. |
 | Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba Good evening #HealthXPH, Helen here from Cebu, signing in for our tweetchat on the CPD law... How is everynody tonight? Here is a photo from today's HIV forum for medical students of MHAM with partner HIV advocates Jun, Jerson and Cham. https://t.co/Fjop046MKj |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @JKatzaman Hello Jim! Before I forget, thanks for writing about #HealthXPH tweet chats :) really appreciate it. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch There's still time to read the #HealthXPH pre-chat blogpost here. Let's talk about CPD! https://t.co/EqQyKItLTE |
| Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO RT @endocrine_witch: There's still time to read the #HealthXPH pre-chat blogpost here. Let's talk about CPD! https://t.co/EqQyKItLTE |
 | Prasad Ranatunga @PRan I'm Prasad, Health Informatician, joining #HealthXPH from Sri Lanka |
 | Dr. Gia Sison @giasison @endocrine_witch Hi Iris and team #healthxph! Will catch up. Very relevant topic on CPDs tonight. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @PRan Thanks for joining #HealthXPH!! I'm sure you know my mentor @amarcelo :) Alvin are you here?! |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @giasison See ya Gia! I hope you're not driving. Can hear the rains here in QC. #healthxph |
| Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman @endocrine_witch You're welcome Iris. You have good information to pass along. The biggest plus for me is that all of you have already done the research. I just need to compile what you say into narratives. #HealthXPh. |
 | MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch Good evening, Doctor! Vivian here from QC joining in this interesting and quite controversial topic on CPD. #HealthXPh |
 | Jarvin Tan @Jetlax Jarvin, pharmacist, signing in for #HealthXPH chat on CPD |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch The Philippines has the CPD act which became law in 2016. Physicians are asked to have 27 units of CPD for 2018 and 45 units by 2019. A backgrounder for tonight's #HealthXPH tweet chat. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @Jetlax Hi Jarvin! #healthxph How many CPD units are required for pharmacists? |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision RT @endocrine_witch: The Philippines has the CPD act which became law in 2016. Physicians are asked to have 27 units of CPD for 2018 and 45 units by 2019. A backgrounder for tonight's #HealthXPH tweet chat. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @pinay_po_ako Hi there :) are you joining the #HealthXPH tweet chat? Please don't forget the hashtag. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @MajorDecision Some lawmakers want the law repealed so soon after the CPD act lapsed into law. So yep, it's controversial. Looking forward to hear your thoughts. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @PRan Hi Prasad! Is there also a CPD law /requirement to renew your professional license in Sri Lanka? #healthxph |
 | ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @endocrine_witch Just finishing a work email po to my committee head! ^_^ Whew whatta week for us. #Healthxph |
 | Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN Jerome, Nurse and Health Social Scientist signing in for #HealthXPH!!! |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @endocrine_witch 45 every 3 years. A whole day, 7-unit course is worth about 2000, meaning it will take at least a week's worth and 10,000+ pesos to fulfill that That is, considering the traditional means most are familiar with #HealthXPh |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan .@endocrine_witch there is no such law in Sri Lanka mandating CPD #healthxph |
 | Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md Hi! Iโm JC from Tuguegarao, signing in for the tweetchat on the CPD law. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @Jetlax 45 units. That's the same for physicians. #HealthXPH How did they come up with these numbers? |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @rheumarhyme No rush :) just jump in when ready. #HealthXPH |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @Jetlax @endocrine_witch which is why I think health professionals should be given free options to comply with the CPD law to still renew their licenses. #healthxph govt should provide enabling environment if they want HCPs to be updated. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @PRan Interesting. Looking forward to your perspective. Questions coming up in a bit. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @icp_md Hello JC! Welcome to #HealthXPH! |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN RT @Jetlax: @endocrine_witch 45 every 3 years.

| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas Hi Jerome! How many CPD units are required for nursing? #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax RT @helenvmadamba: @Jetlax @endocrine_witch which is why I think health professionals should be given free options to comply with the CPD law to still renew their licenses. #healthxph govt should provide enabling environment if they want HCPs to be updated. |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @Jetlax hello there Jarvin! I couldn't apply for CPD units for pharmacists for our HIV Congress... who are considered accredited CPD providers for pharmacists? #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Don't forget the hashtag #HealthXPH Wow @amarcelo joining us ;) |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @JKatzaman @endocrine_witch hello there Jim! You are you this week? #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @helenvmadamba: @Jetlax @endocrine_witch which is why I think health professionals should be given free options to comply with the CPD law to still renew their licenses. #healthxph govt should provide enabling environment if they want HCPs to be updated. |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch Yes, Doc! I read it on the news recently. I do not have my license yet ('cause I'm currently taking the PLE this year) but soon I'll also be affected by this law. #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch OK, let's begin with T1. Please don't forget to label your answers T1 and #HealthXPH when replying. T1. Should continuing professional development be mandated by law? Why or why not? |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @MajorDecision IF it doesn't get repealed first ;) #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @PhilPharmacists ! I've been telling my classes that pharmacists ought to be more proactive here, given the double stigma and high burden, Even amongst infectious diseases (which I see RPhs active a lot on given AMS), there isn't much focus dedicated to HIV #HealthXPh |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN @endocrine_witch 45 units too. I've seen seminars for nursing that cost 10k and only give 5 units. :( #HealthXPH |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba #HealthXPh so happy for my #SUPACA kids participating in today's HIV forum in MHAM. It would have been a great opportunity to apply for CPD units as HIV is an issue that needs multi-disciplinary approach. #TEACHCebu https://t.co/7kABKKjSk4 |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @giasison @endocrine_witch hello there mommy Gia! glad to see you this week... kamusta? #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch T1. Should continuing professional development be mandated by law? Why or why not? #HealthXPH @amarcelo |
| Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch Doing fine, Helen. I got word this week on a new job starting late next month. It's Monday-Friday, so it won't affect me on #healthXph. How are things with you? |
 | Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA ๐ท She/Her @ShereeseMayMba Sorry to miss out today. I'm in #!NYC #HealthXPH https://t.co/7Jjst0izUR |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Very much agree Rom! But I guess the discussion will be can it be done without the law? Hence T1. Should continuing professional development be mandated by law? Why or why not? #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @DrJeromeCleofas @endocrine_witch yah, this complying with CPD units has become a lucrative business for organizations accredited as CPD providers. #healthxph government created the demand, they should also create the means. Otherwise, healthcare professionals are just exploited for the opportunity for income. |
 | Nomar Alviar @HPEducatorPH Good PM/AM to the #healthxph Twitterati. Nomar, #MedEd guy from MNL, PHL, lurking a bit (will need to be on the road in a while, sorry). Major concern being tackled in tonight's chat. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas I really haven't found anything online to explain the 45 units. I mean how it was agreed on or computed. #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @PRan hello there Prasad! welcome to #HealthXPH |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch @giasison it's also raining here in Cebu, mam I. #HealthXPH |
| Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman T1 Mandating continuing professional development makes sure providers stay current in their field and supports baseline standards. What those standards should be is open for discussion. #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @HPEducatorPH Hi Nomar! I just renewed this year with 27 units. Will worry about it again in 3 years if the CPD law is still there. #HealthXPH |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme Hi #Healthxph ! Renewed my prc just last Aug, had enough points since Ive been moderator several times, but I was still worried. Went ok anyway. ๐ฌ๐๐ผ Got the new one Sept in time for PhilHealth too |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @JKatzaman: T1 Mandating continuing professional development makes sure providers stay current in their field and supports baseline standards. What those standards should be is open for discussion. #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @ShereesePubHlth Enjoy the city that never sleeps Shereese!! There's always next Saturday. #healthxph |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN [Unless they improve the way it's implemented now], I suggest it should not be mandated by law. It's expensive for professionals, and there aren't enough providers. #HealthXPH |
 | JR Ong @jrong13 Hi. Will catch up! #HealthXPH |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax T1 I believe it should. I have issues with the current version on cost and accessibility, but at the same time, I'm frustrated seeing people recommend/teach TCAs as 1st line, demeclocycline for SIADH, outdated status epilepticus pharmacotherapy, etc etc #HealthXPh |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas Exactly! I was also looking for the rationale for these 45 units for three years but I found none online. #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch T1 I think that CPD should be mandated. However even before the CPD law, it was mandated by the medical/specialty organizations. #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @DrJeromeCleofas: [Unless they improve the way it's implemented now], I suggest it should not be mandated by law. It's expensive for professionals, and there aren't enough providers. #HealthXPH |
| Nomar Alviar @HPEducatorPH @endocrine_witch Was able to renew last year before the whole thing got going. And yes, I feel for those who have difficulties funding their needed units. #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas So do you think it's market forces at work. That if we get more CPD providers, maybe the expense will go down? #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @HPEducatorPH: @endocrine_witch Was able to renew last year before the whole thing got going. And yes, I feel for those who have difficulties funding their needed units. #healthxph |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan T1 | CPD should be mandatory. But I do not think a law is essential. Professional organisations can make it happen #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @PRan: T1 | CPD should be mandatory. But I do not think a law is essential. Professional organisations can make it happen #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @SabiNiDok In theory, I'm not sure it would count towards your first profession since it's a different field altogether #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @PRan Is there a professional organization for health informaticians in Sri Lanka? #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @Jetlax: T1 I believe it should. I have issues with the current version on cost and accessibility, but at the same time, I'm frustrated seeing people recommend/teach TCAs as 1st line, demeclocycline for SIADH, outdated status epilepticus pharmacotherapy, etc etc #HealthXPh |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan @jimlopez875 Agree 100% #healthxph |
| Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md T1. CPD should be mandated by law and PRC, being a government agency should oversee its implementation. #HealthXPH |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba #HealthXPH @amarcelo Question: what is GTW? |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @Jetlax I've never seen so many people fill up the halls at medical meetings before the CPD law. People are somewhat "forced" to be there but my educator's heart rejoices ;) #healthxph |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme T1 #Healthxph Yes but not the same for all. What may be feasible for one specialty may not be practical for another. |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @DrJeromeCleofas @endocrine_witch Did those seminars which costing 10k and granted 5 CPD units lasted for 5 hours only? I think CPD providers grant 1 CPD unit for every hour of the seminar/ training/ workshop. #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @anna1angelica2 When's the exam :) thanks for saying hi anyway. #HealthXPH |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN T1. I have witnessed horror stories when people from provinces would go to Manila for CPD courses, then be denied entry because they were a few minutes late. ๐ฅ #HealthXPH |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @DrJeromeCleofas @endocrine_witch Ang lala ng 10k for 5 units :( #HealthXPh |
 | Witch Doctor @witch_md RT @PRan: T1 | CPD should be mandatory. But I do not think a law is essential. Professional organisations can make it happen #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @MajorDecision @DrJeromeCleofas I've seen organizers also put "working breaks" to get more CPD units. #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @Jetlax @PhilPharmacists Yes well, I am just saying all these advocacy campaigns SHOULD have corresponding CPD units for attendees. #healthxph after all, attendance and registration is free. these are done in schools and students practically bring their own baon... |
| Dr. Gia Sison @giasison Agree. And there are CPDs offered for free, just like what UP Manilaโs Webinars does. #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch That's what we're hoping to discuss tonight at #HealthXPH :) |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @ShereesePubHlth wow! how cold is it in New York? I remember feeling frozen there... #HealthXPH |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme RT @PRan: T1 | CPD should be mandatory. But I do not think a law is essential. Professional organisations can make it happen #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @endocrine_witch But it's still very much important the professional societies listen to their members very much on this. Learning from our american counterparts. The forum I frequent (not sure if selection bias here) shows nothing but resentment #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch A very good question! Maybe someone can answer. If CPD is to be mandated by organizations, what happens to those who don't belong to orgs? Is that possible? To practice w/o org membership ex. PMA? #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax RT @DrJeromeCleofas: T1. I have witnessed horror stories when people from provinces would go to Manila for CPD courses, then be denied entry because they were a few minutes late. ๐ฅ #HealthXPH |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme I attend these! Theyโre really great. #Healthxph |
| Nomar Alviar @HPEducatorPH Gave a talk at a gathering of the CPD Council sometime ago, suggested the online option as well. #healthxph |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN T1. The law in spirit is good, but the implementation is exploitative. Also, they advertise only CPD courses and do not put as much emphasis on other ways to get them (grad studies, publications, etc). #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @SabiNiDok @Jetlax I don't think so because you're expected to get CPD after you pass the medical boards. To make sure you remain updated even after school. #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @DrJeromeCleofas: T1. The law in spirit is good, but the implementation is exploitative. Also, they advertise only CPD courses and do not put as much emphasis on other ways to get them (grad studies, publications, etc). #HealthXPH |
| Nomar Alviar @HPEducatorPH Sad. Not everyone gets easy funding to attend. #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @helenvmadamba @PhilPharmacists Definitely! #HealthXPh |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @JKatzaman @endocrine_witch I was a speaker for an HIV forum today, squeezed it in between my classes for my master's degree... I guess my HIV advocacy has become like a 3rd job (the 1st being my hospital work and the 2nd being my teaching job) #HealthXPH but I am extremely happy and fulfilled about it! https://t.co/PUhURhL2ay |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @ShereesePubHlth Take pictures and post while you're there! Enjoy the sights! #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas I accumulated certificates but in the end I submitted my certification for professorial chair as it seemed easier to do that. There's varying ways of showing proof. #healthxph I wonder about research. |
| Nomar Alviar @HPEducatorPH @endocrine_witch @MajorDecision @DrJeromeCleofas How do these "working breaks" work? #healthxph |
 | Pandula Siribaddana (MBBS. PhD) @Pandula77 Hi, I am Pandula joining-in from Sri Lanka. Had a great #digitalhealthwk with @amarcelo also in town for #AeHIN #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba Yes, doctors should be online so that patients have access to them. #HealthXPH social media allows doctors to study at their own pace and their own place. https://t.co/Sl2fmf6y21 |
| Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA ๐ท She/Her @ShereeseMayMba @helenvmadamba 59 degrees but it feels warmer #HealthXPH https://t.co/BL48mmsJTM |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @HPEducatorPH @MajorDecision @DrJeromeCleofas A topic is assigned to the "working break" to get more units. If the event is 9-5 but you take 30 min am snack, 30 min pm snack then that takes out one hour or 1 CPD unit - so I was told. #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @SabiNiDok It's a bit distinct for the RPh and MD professions because ethically and legally speaking, you can't practice both at the same time (in the context of the diagnostician/prescriber role of MDs and dispensing role of RPhs) #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Thanks for answering T1 everyone. Let's go to T2. How can we ensure continuing professional development if it is not mandated by law? #healthxph |
| Nomar Alviar @HPEducatorPH @jimlopez875 Agree, Jim. And their webinar calendar is quite loaded these days! #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch I ask T2 because there are bills filed at the Phil Senate and congress to repeal the CPD act. so T2. How can we ensure continuing professional development if it is not mandated by law? #healthxph |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN @endocrine_witch FYI. #HealthXPH https://t.co/cqwI8TI6m0 |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @HPEducatorPH @jimlopez875 The very first UPMed webinar years back was by me and @amarcelo. And the topic was "how to conduct a webinar." :) #healthxph |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @Jetlax @endocrine_witch True, if Im listening to a speaker, I dont want a grumbling seatmate. But then, sometimes one needs that โpushโ to discover something na โoh, this is interesting palaโ. We wont know until they try.... or are forced. Haha. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @DrJeromeCleofas: @endocrine_witch FYI. #HealthXPH https://t.co/cqwI8TI6m0 |
 | rosarosa @rospzamora @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas T1 I agree po. I am currently taking up Masters but I really don't have idea how this be made into CPD units. Also in UERM, our MedEduc Department is very active in giving us workshops. But I don't see any CPD units in some. #HealthXPH |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch I would agree that CPD be mandated by law to compel professionals to keep themselves updated, but the government should include in its IRR ways how HCPs can comply without CPD units being a racket by societies for fund-raising. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas Seems easy enough ... if you have the publication. Doing the research is the hard part ;) #healthxph |
| Nomar Alviar @HPEducatorPH @endocrine_witch @MajorDecision @DrJeromeCleofas I see. Smart way to optimize. #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax I've frequently thought of this as well. Sunk in that me being able to do this (alternatives like resource person certs, etc) in my profession may be more the exception than the norm. Most still opt for the expensive seminar route #HealthXPh |
| Dr. Gia Sison @giasison It should be related to your field of practice, yes thatโs right. #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @dbonesetter @DrJeromeCleofas The masters' degree will fall under the academic track of CPD so yes you can claim for that when you finish it. #healthxph |
| Nomar Alviar @HPEducatorPH Gotta sign off, sadly. Looking forward to backreading tonight's chat. #healthxph |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch Yes, CPD points will have a high monetary value & will be exploited by some organisations for sure #HealthXPH |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN T2. My suggestion is not to put pressure on individual professionals, but to companies that hire them. Accrediting bodies of schools and hospitals MUST ensure that the institutions are providing competent, relevant to professional employees. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @pinay_po_ako @giasison There's that, but maybe learn something new? #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @DrJeromeCleofas: T2. My suggestion is not to put pressure on individual professionals, but to companies that hire them. Accrediting bodies of schools and hospitals MUST ensure that the institutions are providing competent, relevant to professional employees. #HealthXPH |
| Dr. Gia Sison @giasison @endocrine_witch @pinay_po_ako True. #healthxph |
| JR Ong @jrong13 A senior colleague told me before that the purpose of CPD should be to ensure that the basic competencies of a general physician. Hence, a cardio should still be knowledgeable how to deliver babies, or public health MDs like us still know how to read ECG. #HealthXPH |
| Witch Doctor @witch_md RT @DrJeromeCleofas: T2. My suggestion is not to put pressure on individual professionals, but to companies that hire them. Accrediting bodies of schools and hospitals MUST ensure that the institutions are providing competent, relevant to professional employees. #HealthXPH |
| Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md I think part of the solution is to iron out the CPD provider accreditation process. It takes too long. #HealthXPH |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @_eppacheco @JKatzaman @endocrine_witch thank you po mam, I am also excited about the enthusiasm of the students to volunteer to become motivators for HIV screening. #healthxph we need to maintain this level of energy so that we can spread like wildfire, just like HIV! https://t.co/VfyIKW6arH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas Hmmm ... something to think about. And these institutions like hospitals also need accreditation. So that can be an accreditation requirement? #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @icp_md: I think part of the solution is to iron out the CPD provider accreditation process. It takes too long. #HealthXPH |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch T1. Yes. The objective of the CPD Act is good. There is so much to learn. One saying goes, "if you stop learning, you stop growing." But good intentions are not enough. This law must be properly implemented and regulated. #HealthXPh |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @SabiNiDok @Jetlax Yes, medical schools are often accredited as CPD providers, but they need to apply for accreditation. #HealthXPH |
 | Alvin Marcelo @amarcelo @PRan @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch In Sri Lanka, are CPD units also required for license renewal? #HealthXPH |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme T2. per medical society requirements? Its the society that knows whatโs the best, practical & less expensive way for members to achieve CPD. #Healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @icp_md And there's also the expense - I hear even if accredited CPD provider, when requesting CPD units for your activity, fees are still to be paid. #healthxph |
| Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman T2 Not mandating continuing professional development puts the credibility of healthcare providers up for grabs. Who's to know if their doctors are qualified to diagnose new diseases? #HealthXPh |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @pinay_po_ako @giasison This would be what people would have told me 2 years ago about a pharmacist attending psychiatry conventions Lots of intersections we may not be aware of! #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Really?! #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @PRan @endocrine_witch Are conferences and postgraduate courses in Sri Lanka offered for free? #healthxph |
| Dr. Gia Sison @giasison Yup and quite expensive too. #healthxph |
| rosarosa @rospzamora @DrJeromeCleofas @endocrine_witch Sorry but can you please enlighten me. If there are 10 authors in a single study, only 1 CPD unit is given to each? #HealthXPH |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN @endocrine_witch Yes. DOH, Philhealth etc for hospitals; CHED and PAASCU, AACUP for schools #HealthXPH |
 | Don Karlito @iamkarlm RT @giasison: Agree. And there are CPDs offered for free, just like what UP Manilaโs Webinars does. #healthxph |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan @amarcelo @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch No, it is not mandatory #HealthXPH |
| Dr. Gia Sison @giasison But absolutely nothing wrong with it, itโs nice to learn and itโs a continuing process. #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax 1000 per run for us #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @dbonesetter @DrJeromeCleofas And to complicate matters, what if the authors don't belong to the same profession (doctors and nurses for example), what happens? #healthxph |
| Pandula Siribaddana (MBBS. PhD) @Pandula77 @amarcelo, Sri Lanka attempted at introducing CPD for licencing re-validation but it did not materialize. #HealthXPH |
 | patrick moral @ericmoral @endocrine_witch T2: societies have a duty to supplement governmental efforts at keeping professionals up to date. The stick apparently works a little better than the carrot in the local setting. #HealthXPh |

| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @Pandula77 @amarcelo Really? What happened? There are efforts to repeal the current CPD law of the Philippines. #healthxph |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch They are not free in Sri Lanka But most of the Postgraduate courses are subsidised & conferences do offer lower rates for students including those in postgraduate courses #HealthXPH |
| Pandula Siribaddana (MBBS. PhD) @Pandula77 @helenvmadamba, Postgraduate programmes in medical education in Sri Lanka are free for doctors. #HealthXPH |
| Dr. Gia Sison @giasison This ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ #healthxph |
| JR Ong @jrong13 Because CPD is a requirement to renew license as generalist (nurse, MD, etc). Personally subscribes to this opinion. #HealthXPH |
 | Lynn @ADRENALPIT @endocrine_witch #healthxph i believe this is existing already. MDs in clinical practice are surely aware of the need to update regularly. |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas Yes, I think there should be other options provided to gain CPD units aside from very expensive conferences. #Healthxph how about medical missions and community work? self-directed learning? taking certifying examinations? #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @ADRENALPIT The question is does this awareness translate to actually updating ;) #healthxph |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN @endocrine_witch Yes! And lesser red tapes for institutions to apply their events for CPD I guess. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Wow, about 20 min left to #HealthXPH tweet chat. Here's T3. Propose CPD activities for healthcare professionals, that are currently not given credit by the Professional Regulation Commission. |
| Alvin Marcelo @amarcelo T2: we can ensure continuing professional education by scanning local health needs and creating content to fill the knowledge gaps #HealthXPH |
| rosarosa @rospzamora @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas Research is hardwork. In @psmidorg we do a lot of clinical practice guidelines, and more often there are at least 15 contributing members from different orgs. How will that translate into CPD points? #HealthXPH |
| Pandula Siribaddana (MBBS. PhD) @Pandula77 @helenvmadamba, That is for government doctors. #HealthXPH |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch True! I think you can, but the allotment of units would be problematic. And documentation also. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas The law has been enforced for about more than a year ... maybe we should give it time? I don't know. #healthxph |
| Alvin Marcelo @amarcelo T2: CPD should not exist for its own sake. It is to address societal need. #HealthXPH |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @dbonesetter @DrJeromeCleofas @endocrine_witch I think this one is also a form of how CPD is "exploited" - getting CPD units by volunteering to be a proctor/facilitator for licensure exams. Does it meet the good intention of the CPD Act? #HealthXPh https://t.co/FyUj4gqtui |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch By the way, before I forget, tonight's topic on CPD at #HealthXPH was suggested by my husband @Nephron826 :) |
| patrick moral @ericmoral T2: I am sure we are familiar with the certificate attendee where registration and not attendance equates to CPD. Personal responsibility has to be emphasized. #HealthXPH |
| Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md Currently, International Conferences/Education/Trainings taken abroad are not credited. โPersonal Developmentโ track is hazy. #HealthXPH |
| Lynn @ADRENALPIT @endocrine_witch #healthxph some hospitals require Mds to submit CME credits every year . This is to โ forceโ everyone to comply . Otherwise accreditation status will be affected |
| Alvin Marcelo @amarcelo T2: professional societies, as the steward of their domain, should create numerous opportunities for CPD. And it should be free or low cost #HealthXPH |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @dbonesetter @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas It takes a lot of effort to apply for CPD units. You need an institution accredited as CPD provider, you need an instructional design with program, complete CVs and PRC IDs of speakers and notarized completed application form + payment. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @MajorDecision @dbonesetter @DrJeromeCleofas Yup, I was puzzled by that too :( what can you learn from proctoring. Are you expected to answer the questions too while waiting ;) #healthxph |
| JR Ong @jrong13 @endocrine_witch @icp_md I believe the cost for professionals is the reason why CPD is unpopular. I personally hope the professional societies can address access to CPD activities. #HealthXPH |
| Alvin Marcelo @amarcelo RT @Pandula77: @helenvmadamba, Postgraduate programmes in medical education in Sri Lanka are free for doctors. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Yup, same suggestion by @DrJeromeCleofas too. That will work :) #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @SabiNiDok Or worse, some trainings keep saying the same thing over and over again without any updates or revisions. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @jrong13: @endocrine_witch @icp_md I believe the cost for professionals is the reason why CPD is unpopular. I personally hope the professional societies can address access to CPD activities. #HealthXPH |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN @endocrine_witch Maybe. If it does not get repealed, I hope it gets better. #HealthXPH |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @endocrine_witch @icp_md Is there a standard/rule/scale po ba how much points per event? I heard a story for a small event when they were told theyd be given X points but on follow up, it was less. They insisted & brought the original paper they scribbled on before. #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @JKatzaman @endocrine_witch Congratulations on your new job, Jim! #HealthXPH |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan RT @amarcelo In Sri Lanka, govt is very proactive in creating opportunities for CPD #healthxph |
| patrick moral @ericmoral @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch Agreed. Even sitting in the conference hall does not equate to learning. Maybe CPDs should be granted to people who live tweet during conferences. ๐ #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @rheumarhyme @icp_md Scribbled? Huhuhu that's hard for the organizers because their attendees will complain. #healthxph |
| Pandula Siribaddana (MBBS. PhD) @Pandula77 @ericmoral @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch totally agree! #healthxph |
| Jarvin Tan @Jetlax @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas No question on intent, but I wonder if the currently achieved outcomes (or anticipated ones) are enough to balance the burden the current version has placed. If not, then the bare minimum would be to revisit and take a much more critical look #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch There you go :) one way to get more healthcare professionals on Twitter! #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas I highly doubt that HCPs would see research as worth their effort and time just to gain CPD units. It would be easier to sit thru a day or two of postgraduate course instead (just to get it over with)... may shopping pa! #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @Jetlax: @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas No question on intent, but I wonder if the currently achieved outcomes (or anticipated ones) are enough to balance the burden the current version has placed.

| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN T3. I agree with doc @helenvmadamba, medical mission and community service work! #HealthXPH |
| Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md @jrong13 @endocrine_witch Encouraging providers willing to conduct trainings with minimal fees would help. At present, they have to go though a lot of bureaucracy. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas @helenvmadamba It's not included? Because I heard before that it can be credited though I don't know how to show proof. #healthxph |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @Pandula77 That's good to hear. There are very few CPD providers that I know of who would be willing to offer courses with CPD units for free. Nothing is free anymore. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch T3 Propose CPD activities for healthcare professionals, that are currently not given credit by the Professional Regulation Commission. #healthxph |
| patrick moral @ericmoral @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas In essence CPD covers skills and knowledge. Widening the scope as you have mentioned along with a significant portion allocated to CME should cover the bases of development. #HealthXPH |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @endocrine_witch @icp_md ah no doc from the cpd provider yung scribbled paper na usapan originally X points, then organizer came back binigay less (X-1) points, so pinakita nya yung papel na โusapanโ nila. hahahah. Ayun they got the X points ๐คฃ... #healthxph |
| rosarosa @rospzamora @endocrine_witch @MajorDecision @DrJeromeCleofas Ay wow. How many units kaya? Tapos published research gets 10 cpd units to be shared by authors? Are they not aware how research is conducted? Lots of elements involved: budget, time, construction of review of related lit, stat analysis, etc. #HealthXPH |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan T2 | Professional organisations should encourage members to participate in CPD activities to continue their membership in the organisation #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Huh? Why is that :( #healthxph If I got a certificate from attending a congress abroad, there's the expense of traveling already and then there's still a fee to pay? |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas Maybe #HealthXPH can link with a CPD provider and make Saturday night tweetchats carry CPD units, how about that mam? |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Tagging @ericmoral :) #healthxph |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch @icp_md Fees for the CPD providers. #HealthXPh https://t.co/etL9bbdgor |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @rheumarhyme @icp_md Yeah I got that ... but I was thinking, di man lang typed or formal letter letting you know your approved units? #healthxph |
| Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md T3. Online learning is not being maximized. Iโm not sure if PRC has a process on accrediting providers of online courses. #healthxph |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @TawengMd @endocrine_witch @icp_md oh. then thats a very weird story from my organizer friend. buti nalang she had the proof of X points. #healthxph |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN T3. Joining (online and offline) advocacy work and campaigns. For online advocacies, it's easy to secure evidence because... it's online. ๐ #HealthXPH |

| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @Jetlax We have to get creative. Our organizations should think about how we can do this. #healthxph |
| JR Ong @jrong13 @endocrine_witch Hopefully @coursera, @edXOnline, and @FutureLearn can apply for local Philippine CPD accreditation for their courses. A good market/business idea perhaps for them (lots of professionals here willing to pay USD50 for a good course). #healthXPH |
| Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman @jimlopez875 @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch Thanks, Jim. #healthxph |
 | Raymond Francis Sarmiento, MD @rfrsarmiento @endocrine_witch #HealthXPh T1. Yes. Without a law, people have tendency to gravitate towards the easy & convenient. And bec of number of patients that need to be served (~ 110 M Filipinos) combined w lack of licensed HCPs, which is aggravated by maldistribution, then gov't should ensure quality. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @rheumarhyme @icp_md Maybe because of so much backlog? I think you need to apply 45 days before? #healthxph |
| patrick moral @ericmoral @helenvmadamba @Pandula77 Surprisingly, we have quite a number of free postgrad courses now here in Manila #HealthXPH |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch T3. How about participating in #HealthXPh and other organized tweet chat about healthcare/health/medicine to get CPD units? Haha |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch @icp_md the rules about getting accredited as a CPD provider are also changing. now they are requiring online applications. renewal of accreditation. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @ericmoral: @endocrine_witch T3: @endocrine_witch T3: equivalency for foreign CMEs vetted by locally recognized societies to avoid predatory conferences #HealthXPH |
| Lynn @ADRENALPIT @endocrine_witch #healthxph shortcoming of current CPD : non registered or failure to register an academic activity isnt credited . It doesnโt make sense when such act is held in the hospital . |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @TawengMd I see. Maybe because the organizers have to pay fees again to have CPD units for both MDs and nurses. #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @jrong13: @endocrine_witch Hopefully @coursera, @edXOnline, and @FutureLearn can apply for local Philippine CPD accreditation for their courses.

| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan @_eppacheco @ericmoral @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch But from my experience, by live tweeting we do lose concentrating on the whole thing and lose some parts of the event as we concentrate on tweeting #HealthXPH |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch TRUUUE! And the evidence is easy to produce! (screenshots) hahaha #HealthXPH |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch I'm sure we all learn from these med tweet chats. So why not? #HealthXPh |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @DrJeromeCleofas Yes, this would be a good idea, so that the stress is on the institution as well, to provide these courses at subsidized rates so that the individual HCPs don't have to should the bulk of the expense. #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Aba aba :) my heart! #healthxph |
| patrick moral @ericmoral @endocrine_witch Super agree. This is professional development. Aside from simply what we know, how we transmit and translate what we know should be part of CPD! #HealthXPH |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @ericmoral: @endocrine_witch Super agree. This is professional development. Aside from simply what we know, how we transmit and translate what we know should be part of CPD! #HealthXPH |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @endocrine_witch @icp_md ๐ค im not sure she applied that ahead. Will clarify that one po. ๐ค ang toxic pala po! and i thought i get stressed with moderating or just speaking! #lessons #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Last 4 mins to #HealthXPH tweet chat. Closing thoughts on CPD? |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme RT @DrJeromeCleofas: T2. My suggestion is not to put pressure on individual professionals, but to companies that hire them. Accrediting bodies of schools and hospitals MUST ensure that the institutions are providing competent, relevant to professional employees. #HealthXPH |
| Prasad Ranatunga @PRan @MajorDecision @endocrine_witch I think the CPD points offered would be far less than what you'd get if you spent the same amount of time at a formal CPD activity #HealthXPh |
| patrick moral @ericmoral @PRan @_eppacheco @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch I live tweet during slide breaks of the presenter or in between speakers. As @endocrine_witch says, helps fight off jet lag #HealthXPH |
| Lynn @ADRENALPIT @endocrine_witch #healthxph got your point Iris , but i note also that there is always more personal here. Updating improves personal skill knowledge etc. So its a personal loss if i donโt update . |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @chelitvaleramd @PRan @_eppacheco @ericmoral When I live tweet while attending a conference in another time zone, that's how I keep awake :) #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @ADRENALPIT That's true. We do care about our patients so we know we have to update to give the best care. #healthxph |
| rosarosa @rospzamora T3 How about if one holds a position in academe or hospital, like being dept chair or training officer or chief of clinics or head of infection conteol or ierb? We also need to read about current evidence on issues to make good policies. #HealthXPH |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @TawengMd @endocrine_witch @icp_md oh this sounds better than CPD:____ will suggest it to her next time! ..... #healthxph |
 | Colin Hung @Colin_Hung @PRan @_eppacheco @ericmoral @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch I find live-tweeting helps me retain more. Four me it's no different than writing/typing notes. Studies show that you forget most of what you hear after 4hrd unless you write it down. You can consider live tweets = public notes :) #HealthXPh |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @PRan @MajorDecision I would think so too ;) #healthxph but there's also a move to accredit social media activity for academic promotion. |
| Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md @TawengMd @endocrine_witch @rheumarhyme That it is why it pays to check the PRC website re status of their application for accreditation. If pending, you run the risk of not getting any credit. #HealthXPh |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @helenvmadamba @endocrine_witch @DrJeromeCleofas Those are included. Socio-civic activities like medical missions and outreach programs earn 1 CPD unit per hour. #HealthXPh |
| patrick moral @ericmoral @_eppacheco @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch Maybe more than the number of tweets, itโs just a bit of proof that we listened? ๐ #healthXPH |
| JR Ong @jrong13 Can local professional societies tap https://t.co/5rPaH1AYKD platform? Taking up now implementation research course by WHO. Recently took a public health course by @EdinburghUni moderated by @AlbertDomingo #HealthXPH |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba I've been speaker for a lot of sessions, most pro bono, esp if it is HIV awareness advocacy. We hope that sessions like these can be converted to CPD units for those who attend for free, targetting those who cannot afford expensive postgrad courses #healthxph https://t.co/NPCjZ11GJc |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch oh so there's also that. I think more manpower may be needed. #healthxph |
| Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzaman In closing, there could be overall continuing professional development along with that geared toward specialties. At both levels, there should be standards to meet to assure basic levels of knowledge and care. #HealthXPh |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ #healthxph |

| patrick moral @ericmoral @Colin_Hung @PRan @_eppacheco @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch Especially for kinesthetic learners. And it helps those who are visual learners in return. #HealthXPH |
| Jerome Cleofas, PhD, RN (he/they) โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ @SocioJCleofasRN In spirit, CPD law is good, but the implementation can be exploitative. If it should continue as a law, we hope that structures and procedures are improved, and the burden should be eased off the professionals #HealthXPH |

| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch @ericmoral I'm sure CPD providers can invite #HealthXPH as part of their CSR to provide CPD units for those who can't afford to pay for expensive postgrad courses... |
| Colin Hung @Colin_Hung @ericmoral @_eppacheco @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch It's TRUE. I've seen a few speakers reach out via Twitter to thank those that live-tweeted for helping to get their message out to a wider audience. #HealthXPH |
| MD means Major Decision @MajorDecision @dbonesetter I agree! Currently only professorial chairs are granted CPD units. 15 units per year. #HealthXPh |
| patrick moral @ericmoral @helenvmadamba @chelitvaleramd @endocrine_witch I agree. Offsets the concerns on costs and conferences that take advantage. #HealthXPH |
| Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md With all its problems, the timing of the move to have the CPD Law repealed is suspect. The intention is worthwhile. The kinks can still be ironed out. #healthxph |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @endocrine_witch Thanks doc! Have a great weekend. #Healthxph ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ |
| Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @ericmoral @endocrine_witch Doc Eric, I think we should collaborate with #healthxph about this idea. |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @icp_md Politics coming into play. #healthxph |
| Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @MajorDecision @dbonesetter Yup and there are few of those to go around and many deserving. #healthxph |
| ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช t. ๐ณ๐บ๐งญ @rheumarhyme @endocrine_witch @icp_md @TawengMd So far i think its become the norm to wait. The final certificate does have the points. They have not had a complaint from the attendees theyve organized ......for now. #Healthxph |
| Lynn @ADRENALPIT @endocrine_witch #Healthxph the intention is good but the implementing rules are haphazardly done. One more thing , expensive to most . |

| Jose Carlo Valencia @icp_md @endocrine_witch @TawengMd @rheumarhyme If they donโt get accredited on time, some would say that you can still file it under โself-directed learningโ- which, as previously alluded to, remains very hazy. #HealthXPH |
