They talked about basic legal concepts valuable to the dermatology practice, hypothetical legal cases, in favor of and against dermatologists, so that practicing dermatologists can better prepare themselves, and hopefully avoid legal problems. 

It was a night of Glitter and Gold as we send off our  latest graduates ( Batch 2015), last December 18, 2015 in Muralla Ballroom, The Bayleaf, Intramuros. 

Ms Tricia Robredo, represents her mother Cong. Leni Robredo, with a  heartfelt message and the induction of the new members of the Skin Research Foundation of the Philippines.

We would like to congratulate Batch 2015, and wish them a shimmering career as dermatologists!
