Please help. I'm an incoming first year medical student. As you all know the tuition fee is kinda pricey and my family's income is just about average... so i was hoping if anyone here is interested in selling 2nd hand medical books for a cheaper price than in bookstores...

Here's the complete list of books I'll need. (preferably in good condition)

(author) (title) (edition)
MOORE - Clinically Oriented Anatomy 6th ed
SNELL - Clinical Anatomy by regions 8th ed
NETTER - Atlas of Human Anatomy 5th
SADLER - Langman's medical embryology 11th
SNELL - Clinical Neuroanatomy 7th
GUYTON - Textbook of medical physiology 12th
MURRAY - Harpers Illustrated Biochemistry, 28th
SADOCK - Kaplan and Sadocks synopsis of psychiatry, 10th
DORLAND - Pocket medical dictionary, 2009

Just PM me the price and the book's title.
Rest assured I'll take care of your books in the event that you sell it to me. I'm kind of a bookworm so I treat my books extra special.

Thank you so much!

Maganda ba na ang recommendation na ipapasa ko sa medschool is from pcom? Hoping na pwede magbigay ng recommendation letter ang official ng pcom, though di pa sure.ü

Kung hihingi ka ng recommendation letter from someone who is a member of the PCOM Board, make sure na magkakilala kayo (i.e. close family friend, Godparent, etc.). Otherwise, you could be questioned regarding the validity of your recommendation letter. You're not yet a licensed physician, thus it's impossible for you to be connected with PCOM.

Safe pa rin kapag ang recommendation letter/s will come from the school you graduated.

Hello there! Magkabatch pala sila ng younger sister ko. She's also taking the boards on August.

Personally, my bf (back then) didn't give me anything (aside from moral support) when I reviewed for the boards last 2007. He was based in another country. Napaisip ako sa tanong mo. Hehe!

If he uses highlighters, pwede na iyun. Or pwede naman rosary or a cross pendant (if he's a catholic) as good luck charm/s. Or you can provide him with pencils, an eraser and a sharpener which are essentials for the exams itself.

On the non-material side, you can be with him when he hears masses (for divine intervention), or accompany him if he reviews in coffee shops.   

Goodluck and God bless to him. Pag-igihan niya ang pag-aaral niya.

^^lipovitan? vitamins, post it, merienda.

[emilyenchanted]

^^ sis bleudskymd, thanks sa mga suggestions sis. u basically covered everything na c:

^ sis chrome-plated heart, di ko naisip ang vitamins haha oo nga pala noh? anything specific you have in mind? anything that would boost memory or anything that is suitable for people who are on a review. in-house kasi cya sa review center so merienda is out of the picture na.

[bleudskymd]

^ Saan review center siya ngayon?

Personally, I didn't enroll in a formal review center kasi sayang lang yung pera at oras. It was also the concensus from those of the upper batch. However, I attended a 1-week mock-boards exam type of review. After every mock exam, we review the questions & answers and we also get to keep the questionnaires for future use. 

Pati yung younger sis ko, hindi rin siya nag-enroll.

[xthine]

I never enrolled in a review center for the boards.. I spent about 2 weeks reviewing, it was a last minute decision to take it.

[blackroseMD]

^thank you sis =) yes, mag retake ako. Sana lang mas mataas makuha ko. Okay lang po ba na sabihin ko to follow tapos paano po pag mas mababa nakuha ko? Pwedeng yung nauna kong nmat score ipasa ko?

Saka meron po ako question, di ba po sa UST pag nag apply, mga feb pa daw po malalaman yung mag eexam (meaning yung nakapasok sa top 700 nila then kukuha sila ng top 500), mga ganung date din po ba naglalabas sa feu at PLM? Kasi iniisip ko kung batch 1 ako sa ust dahil sa surname ko, parang ang tagal ng aantayin ko tapos no guarantee naman na makakapasok sa 'screening' nila..

Sorry, ang OT. =( wala po kasi thread dito ng mga applicants for medschools. =(

Hi. I'm a newbie in this thread... try mo pumunta sa pinoymd.com. Maraming thread dun about application., pati mga nagbebenta ng second hand books marami dun, although di ako mahilig sa 2nd hand, gusto ko ako yung lalaspag sa libro... hehe! Okay dun.. hope this helps...

[bleudskymd]

^ Hello sis. Welcome to the thread.

[blackroseMD]

[bleudskymd]

Happy weekend.

hi doctors! got a question lang, paano nyo po naretain or naconvert into long term memory [textspeak!] mga information fed or taught during your pre-clinical years? paano nyo po na identify ng tama un mga parts/structures sa actual pxs considering na ibang iba un itsura nila as opposed sa mga models/bones/harvested organs and cadavers? i got poor memory kasi, now i know, now i dont, so im thinking of restudying again all those basic subjects during my spare time para maretain sa utak ko, at iwas boljak during internship. thanks

Just like what you plan to do - read/open your books, review.

Sa dinami-dami ng inaral natin & sa tagal na nung huli nating inaral, it's normal to forget some details, & we ask from others like "Ano nga ba uli ang tawag dun sa....?" or "Ano nga ba uli ito?".
