Welcome!
As we gather to celebrate the 13th Biennial Induction of PAMET-IN officers, I would like to congratulate all my fellow members, outgoing & incoming officers.
It is of great honor to be part of this ever-growing community of like-minded individuals whose goal is to elevate the Filipino medical laboratory scientist profession to the next level.
We have faced a lot of adversities these recent years due to COVID-19, yet we remain optimistic that we will still be able to provide community services, promote continuing education opportunities, organize fundraising activities, and participate in legislative symposiums.
With the influx of new Filipino medical laboratory scientist needing guidance and support, I, with help of my fellow members, will organize professional networking events and start mentorship program to accomodate their needs.
May we all strive to contribute to our missions, for all these to be successful. Now more than ever, is our time. We are now being seen. We are now recognized. We now exist.
“This is our event! This is the celebration of us! And I wish everyone success for many years to come.
More power to PAMET USA, Inc. – Indiana Chapter! God bless us all!”
