October 31, 2019 — Dr. Jaifred Christian Lopez from the UP College of Public Health and Dr. Raymond Francis Sarmiento of the National Institutes of Health’s National Telehealth Center were among the physicians who participated in the Young Physician Leaders (YPL) Programme.
This is an international training program being conducted by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) for nine years now that is known for its tailored workshop on leadership.
It has provided 191 young professionals with skills and knowledge needed to promote health and strengthen health systems around the world.
The two doctors and the rest of the participants were chosen by a committee of medical and scientific professionals who reviewed the nominations received by the global network. The network includes 140 national and regional member academies collaborating to provide independent expert advice on scientific, technological and health issues and the M8 Alliance, a unique network of 25 leading international academic health centers, universities and research institutions.
The YPL was conducted by the IAP in conjunction with the World Health Summit, the leading international forum for global health.
