Medical education

In 2015, I won the first UP System Gawad Pangulo Award for Progressive Teaching and Learning. I’m currently the Director of the UP Manila Interactive Learning Center. I advocate for flipped learning and online tools for education.

health informatics

I am the first graduate of the UP Manila MS Health Informatics (medical informatics) program. My research interests include mobile health, consumer health informatics and telehealth.

social media for healthcare

Since 2012, I’ve maintained the Facebook page Endocrine Witch.Through this page, I aim to contribute to improving health literacy in common endocrine disorders such as diabetes and goiter. I believe in the scholarly use of social media.

I love speaking opportunities
