The Impact of POGS Training on My Journey in Government Service
In this reflective piece, I, Dr. Lourdes K. Otayza, share how my training from the Philippine Obstetrics and Gynecology Society (POGS) shaped my career as an Obstetrician-Perinatologist and my current role as Chief of Hospital at Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital in Batac City, Ilocos Norte. Through personal anecdotes, including experiences with mentorship, research, and resilience in facing challenges such as death threats and lawsuits, I highlight the integral role of POGS in my professional development and commitment to serving my community.
