In ACEMC Butuan, ACE doctors value both relationships and a balanced work life. Doctors took a break from their usual grind and spent two days in Camiguin, one of the paradises in Northern Mindanao, Philippines.
A group of organizers and doctors convened to organize an off-site retreat with activities that would provide experiential learning regarding teamwork and leadership, including a “reef survival exercise” and table discussions regarding the characteristics of ideal leaders. In addition, several energizing activities and recreational free time were provided to enhance the interaction and teamwork dimensions of the retreat.
