Precision, Empathy, and Resilience in Every Draw for Our Veteran Heroes.
The VMMC Medical Technology Interns’ Organization, in collaboration with the Department of Pathology of Veterans Memorial Medical Center, welcomes Batch 2 of PHLEB BETTERANO 2026, bringing together Medical Technology Interns from Centro Escolar University (CEU), National University (NU), Our Lady of Fatima University–Valenzuela (OLFU-Val), Our Lady of Fatima University–Nueva Ecija (OLFU-NE), and University of La Salette (ULS). A seminar and workshop designed to strengthen the knowledge and practical skills of Medical Technology Interns in phlebotomy and blood collection.
The program formally opened with the Introduction of Speaker by Ms. Mary Alison Bague-Alemaña, RMT, setting the stage for a day of learning and professional development.
The morning session featured lectures from distinguished speakers, including Ma. Jamella L. Sotaridona, RMT, who discussed Mass Blood Donation, followed by April Donna A. Jamero, RMT, who shared valuable insights on Phlebotomy.
The event continued with a Phlebotomy Applications Workshop: The VMMC Way, providing interns with an opportunity to translate classroom knowledge into practical skills while emphasizing accuracy, proper technique, patient care, and professionalism.
As future medical laboratory professionals, the interns were reminded that every successful blood draw goes beyond technical precision, it also requires empathy, patience, and commitment to quality service 💙
Precision in every draw.
Empathy in every patient encounter.
Resilience in every step toward becoming a healthcare professional.
