RITM Fellowship Training Program
RITM Fellowship Training Program
Envisioned as the lead center for infectious and tropical diseases in the country, it was in March of 2011 when the RITM Adult Infectious Diseases Fellowship Training Program materialized under the leadership of Dr. Mari Rose A. de los Reyes, head of the medical department, with Dr. Manolito L. Chua as the over-all training officer. The training program aims to produce subspecialists highly competent in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of infectious and tropical diseases. The strength of the training program includes exposure to case management and preparedness for emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, infection control, in- and outpatient management of patients with HIV/AIDS being the largest treatment hub in the country, and exposure to national reference laboratories among others.
The hospital arm of the institute, under the Clinical Research Division (CRD), is the main training ground for the fellowship training program. Classified as a referral hospital for tropical diseases, RITM also caters to patients with dengue fever, malaria, tuberculosis, tetanus, rabies, snakebites and animal bites. It has been designated by the Department of Health as the national referral center for the clinical management of Ebola, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and other Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases (EREIDs). The institute is likewise the home of many research study programs like HIV/AIDS, schistosomiasis, polio and other enteroviruses, acute respiratory infections, acute gastroenteritis, etc.
As of 2019, RITM has produced fifteen (15) graduates now distributed throughout the country, each providing significant contributions in their areas of practice. The trainees are supervised by esteemed infectious diseases consultants, all of whom are Fellows of the Philippine Society of the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) and the Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (PSMID). The training program is also fully accredited by PSMID. In order to provide more clinical experience for the fellows, affiliation agreements have been put in place with the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, Philippine Heart Center, Philippine General Hospital, Makati Medical Center, and Sendai Medical Center in Tohoku, Japan.

St. Luke’s Medical Center
St. Luke's Medical Center
The fellowship program in Infectious Diseases is now on its 3rd decade from the time of its inception in 1994 and accredited by the Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
Applicants should have satisfactorily completed residency in Internal Medicine and have successfully passed the PSBIM diplomate examination. The training takes 2 years to complete in a more than 620-bed capacity tertiary care hospital which boasts of facilities that allows trainees to access a wide variety of modalities needed to ideally diagnose and manage patients. Trainees are moulded to work well with different medical disciplines and subspecialties, with the patient’s safety as priority. They are also exposed to the varied settings of clinical illnesses from critical care (medical, coronary, neurologic), to hematopoietic, solid organ transplant recipients and other sick individuals, with or without significant immune-compromise. The availability of a dedicated wireless network also allows trainees access to journal articles on-demand. Fellowship starts May 01 of the current year with 2 fellows being accepted in the program per year. The first year of training is dedicated to clinical exposure in the wards and critical care units and out-patient care. Outside rotation exposes the trainee to tropical diseases not commonly encountered in the institution. Conferences are regularly conducted on a weekly basis with joint conference with other subspecialties to further maximize learnings.
Being trained in Evidence-based Medicine is an advantage for ID fellows-in-training as research is an integral part of the requirements for completion of the fellowship training. The program requires each trainee to complete one retrospective during their first year and one prospective research paper during their second year of training. It is also strongly encouraged that completed papers be submitted to the subspecialty society for possible publication or presentation during the annual convention.
The section is now under the leadership of Dr. Dionisio M. Tiu and Dr. Catherine T. Yu as its training officer. The section takes pride in the graduates that the program has produced, being leaders in their chosen area of clinical practice or university.

The activities of the section are geared towards the pursuit of excellence in these three endeavors, specifically with regard to the prevention, clinical management, and control of infectious and tropical diseases.
MISSION / VISION
MISSION: We are faculty and staff of the section of Infectious Diseases at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine- Philippine General Hospital, committed to quality healthcare, training and research to help achieve the Mission of UP Manila. We achieve this by leadership and excellence in holistic, compassionate, evidence-based and specialty practice of, training in and research on infectious diseases, in the service of the Filipino people and in the context of communities and global health.
VISION: A community of leaders in the practice of infectious diseases and public health committed to the development of Philippine Society through the prevention and control of infectious diseases working through equitable partnerships locally and globally.
HISTORY
The ID Section is also affiliated with the ID Medical Research Laboratory (MRL).
With respect to capacity-building, the UP-PGH Infectious Diseases Fellowship Training Program is the first training program on infectious diseases in the country. The program started in 1968 under the leadership of Dr. Antonio Gonzaga. Initially, it was a combined adult and pediatric ID training program up to 1992. Since 1993, it has been solely a 2-year adult infectious diseases training program with an option for a third year research fellowship.
From 1968 to 2002, training began in January and ended in December of the succeeding year. In 2003 to 2013, the commencement of training was adjusted to March to allow applicants to take the PCP specialty board examination. About five fellows were accepted each year, and midyear applicants were accepted if the maximum number of slots has not been filled up. In 2014, the schedule was again adjusted from March to June. And starting 2016, up to six fellows were accepted in the training program.
Since 1968, the UP-PGH Infectious Diseases Fellowship Training Program has trained 130 fellows who have become leaders in their chosen areas of practice.
