PSE Conventions, Symposia, Interhospital meetings

The regular scientific meetings of the PSE affirm its commitment to enhance the knowledge of the members. Looking over the 20-year old files of the Society, I was able to retrieve yellowed yet valuable copies of prior souvenir programs.From simple scientific meetingsattended by a small group of enthusiasts, we began to conduct annual national conventionsto respond to the increasing interest and participation of the members. We were fortunate to have had respected and eminent echocardiographers as guest speakers coming from various countries.

To encourage research, the Adolfo Bellosillo Research Paper Contest was started during the 5th Annual Convention in 1995. In the same conference, the 1st HB Calleja Lecture was started to give tribute to the Founding Father of Philippine Echocardiography, Dr. Homobono B. Calleja.

Below is thechronicle of our scientific journey through the 2 decades of our existence.Some information is missing due to our inability to recover relevant data.
