The Origin Story of PAMET-USA

PAMET-USA stands for the Philippine Association of Medical Technologists, USA.
PAMET was originally established in the Philippines and has since become a highly influential organization in the medical technology field.
In the 1980s, a few key members of the original organization immigrated to the United States and formed the first independently operated PAMET chapters in Chicago, New York, and New Jersey.
Their mission was simple: to continue the advocacy of the original PAMET, but for members of their new American communities.
Fast-forward to today. This noble mission that started with four intrepid individuals has since blossomed into a prominent force in the American medical technology landscape.
With over 15 chapters nationwide, PAMET-USA continues to positively impact the lives of those in the medical technology community.
As we grow, we continue to unify and cultivate Filipino medical laboratory professionals by advancing their interests and professional development for service and excellence in laboratory medicine.
