It was in early 2009 that the Philippine College of Emergency Medicine and Acute Care (PCEMAC) and the Philippine Society of Emergency Care Physicians (PSECP) began the process of merging into a single national specialty society for Emergency Medicine, with the encouragement and guidance of the Philippine Medical Association. A Steering Committee was organized to work towards the merger of the PCEMAC, and after several meetings, the Philippine College of Emergency Medicine (PCEM) was born.

Emergency Ultrasound: Making Everything As Clear As Black and White

by: Romulo Babasa III, MD, FPCEM

Gone is the time when the stethoscope was considered as the most important diagnostic armamentarium of an emergency physician. ER doctors globally are slowly realizing that one can obtain more information from analysing images and shadows than by listening to clicks and gushing air right at the patient’s bedside. Welcome to the advent of visual medicine... the era of the bedside emergency ultrasonography.

At present, the use of bedside ultrasonography in the ED of tertiary hospitals in the Philippines is still in its infancy. An informal local telephone survey of 30 EM consultants from 6 training programs on ED ultrasound use revealed little to no experience at all among the respondents. Ultrasound-related course is not integrated in the curricular program of the EM residency training.
