What is the Seal of Excellence ?

The Philippine Dermatological Society in its desire to help the public distinguish legitimate, board certified dermatologists from fake… pseudodermatologists, conceptualized the making of a sign or symbol that PDS members can easily display or use in their respective clinics. The “Seal of Excellence” was thus finally made public last November 2005 at the Holiday Inn Galleria. Present during the ceremony were Dr. Modesto Llamas, president of the Philippine Medical Association; Dr. Ma. Lorna F . Frez, president of the Philippine Dermatological Society and Dr. Evangeline B. Handog, head of the Task Force Seal of Excellence. The Seal of Excellence was launched in the presence of members of the press.
