Doc Gerry

Who is the Doc Gerry of Cebu, Philippines? I am a practising endocrinologist... a specialty that deals with endocrine disorders like Diabetes, Thyroid Diseases and Osteoporosis among the many. This is a specialty that deals with diseases that are now considered EPIDEMIC... that will affect the fate of the future generation. I am a Faculty Silver Medal Awardee and a graduate of Cebu Doctors' University College of Medicine. I did my Residency Training in Internal Medicine at the New York Medical College and did my Fellowship training in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. During my training in New York, I was awarded the Teacher of the Year and while at Mayo, I received the Young Investigators' Award by the American College of Endocrinology. I am both a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and the American College of Endocrinology. A Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the Subspecialty Board of Endocrinology. I came back to my country to practice my specialty and share my expertise to my countrymen. In 1999, I established the Treatment Center for Diabetes, Thyroid Diseases and Osteoporosis at Cebu Doctors' University Hospital where I am presently based. Our Center is accredited for Clinical Research and is part of the International Multicenter Clinical Phase 3 Research Trials of new products in the treatment of Diabetes. Currently we are participating in 4 Clinical Phase 3 Trials including Studies on Incretins and Inhaled Insulin. I've been invited to lectures in National and International conventions related to my specialty and presently a diplomate and fellow of the Phillipine College of Physicians and Philippine Society of Endocrinology,and Metabolism. Some of the thoughts in my blog are educational modules that I usually share with my patients because I believe... ...UNDERSTANDING ONES DISEASE THRU EDUCATION IS ONE PRESCRIPTION TO A BETTER HEALTH...
