🌉 **MEET THE SPEAKERS | BEYOND BORDERS: PAARM Inaugural Annual Convention 2026

Addiction does not exist within the boundaries of a single specialty—and neither should its care.

At the Inaugural Annual Convention of the Philippine Academy of Addiction and Recovery Medicine (PAARM), we bring together physicians from Psychiatry, Family Medicine, Public Health, Pediatrics, Neurology-Psychiatry, and Internal Medicine to share their distinct perspectives on one common mission: advancing compassionate, evidence-based, and recovery-oriented addiction care.

Together, these perspectives reflect the heart of transdisciplinary Addiction and Recovery Medicine—moving beyond traditional professional boundaries, learning from one another, and integrating our expertise around the needs of the person, the family, and the community.

See you at this milestone gathering for Addiction and Recovery Medicine in the Philippines.

BEYOND BORDERS: Bridging Specialties and Transforming Addiction Care in the Philippines 🇵🇭

The Philippine Academy of Addiction and Recovery Medicine (PAARM) proudly invites you to its Inaugural Annual Convention—a pioneering milestone for addiction and recovery medicine in the Philippines.

Addiction is complex and knows no boundaries between specialties. Meaningful recovery requires us to move beyond traditional silos and embrace a transdisciplinary approach that brings together physicians and professionals across Psychiatry, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Neurology, Public Health, and other fields involved in the continuum of care.

Through evidence-based practice, collaboration, and recovery-oriented care, this historic gathering aims to strengthen how we understand, prevent, treat, and support recovery from substance use disorders—placing the person, family, and community at the heart of care.

This is more than PAARM’s first convention. It is an opportunity to bridge specialties, share knowledge, build partnerships, and shape the future of addiction and recovery medicine in the Philippines.

Together, we go BEYOND BORDERS—because transforming addiction care begins when disciplines come together for one shared purpose: recovery.
