Magnus Medicus et Magister <\/em>Award<\/h4>\n

This is an award of distinction conferred by the Philippine Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine in recognition of a member\u2019s exemplary and pioneering contributions to the development of the practice of Maternal Fetal Medicine in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

The title of \u201cMagnus Medicus et Magister<\/em>\u201d is Latin<\/em> for \u201cgreat doctor and teacher\u201d which embodies the attributes of a \u201chealer\u201d and \u201cmentor\u201d. The honor \u201cSumma Medicus<\/em>\u201d goes of course to none other than the greatest healer, Jesus. As we ourselves are often called to emulate Jesus, we can never be the greatest that He is, but as great as they can ever be, our \u201cMagnus Medicus et Magister<\/em>\u201d visionaries stand beside Him as great healers and teachers.<\/p>\n

    In addition, the Society, seeing itself in many forms and venues to have more impact, may also recognize its members who have shown exemplary and active involvement in various fields such as service, community, research, innovation, leadership, governance and world affairs.<\/p>\n

    This award was first given to our Founding President, Dr. Walfrido W. Sumpaico in 2015, followed by Dr. Natividad L. Puertollano, the \u201cMother of Philippine Perinatology\u201d, posthumously in 2017.<\/p>\n
