Mabilis lang ang clerkship. Surprisingly, mas maluwag na ngayon ang duties niyo, kumpara nung time namin. Kaya niyo iyan. Remember, "do no harm".

Incoming 3rd year med student! I'm excited but nervous because the subject load. And considering na puro major subjects at magkakaalaman kung worthy for internship. Huhu. Okay naman records ko, avergae w/ no failing grades, thank God. How did the Dra's here survive 3rd yr?

Hi Doctors! Can you please suggest OB-GYNE na magaling? Gusto ko kasi lumipat ng OB feeling ko kasi di sya competent. Im a nurse pero matagal na kasi ako di nagppractice. Sana may masuggest kayo. Thanks!

[FOURever]

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^ naku sa amin sis sobrang lala. 2 kasi yung section namin, tapos walang namatch sa uerm na section b. Ambagal kasi nila and di napasa lahat ng applications sa apmc kasi di pa tapos. Kaloka! Tapos kung ayaw tumanggap ng pagkakamali.

[FOURever]

^grabe naman sis. di nila naisip na ang pahirapan din ang matching no!

[bleudskymd]

Hello mga sis/future colleagues!

Ano na'ng bali-balita sa inyo and sa thread na ito?

Sorry ngayon lang ako uli nagparamdam. Naging sobrang busy ako sa motherhood (naging sideline ko na ang pagiging doctor. Hehe!)

[FOURever]

Hi doc! Graduation ko tomorrow. tee hee!! then july 1 start ng internship ko sa mmc i want rmc sana. Kaso nilagay ko sa first choice mmc. Check ko muna kung gusto ko dun, if not, palipat ako sa rmc

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^ sis pwede na paunmatch ba? Okay na ako sa lourdes para di toxic and concentrate sa pagrereview for boards. Dami ko friends sa rmc. And i'm nearer sa rmc din. Nakakatempt lumipat. Uuugh.

[FOURever]

^pwede naman anytime

[iwannabeasupermodel]

hello mga sis! lumabas na ang march 2017 PLE results. thankfully my pgis who failed from the sept boards ay nakapasa na. andami kasing nagfail nung sept 2016 if i know kasi nag-iba na sila ng format of questioning.
anyway nakakapressure kasi it's my batch's turn na for the boards this sept 2017. parang i'm always tired ngayong internship, minsan/rarely lang ako mag-aral. nakakakaba tuloy. i guess i need to forego "rest" and really really put effort into studying. kaya lang pag sobrang napapagod talagang suko na ang katawan at isip ko.

[yonamarie]

Galing niyo! Frustrated Doctor ako!
But, I graduated BSN and now licensed Nurse na din! Never got the chance to continue studying med, kasi I got pregnant and naging priority ko na din studies ni Baby. Naging practical lang siguro ako. Hahaha but I have a lot of friends na PGI na ngayon.
GOODLUCK TO ALL FUTURE DOCTORS!

Hello sisses,

I need advice please.

My hubby is an RN-EMT. He'll be working out of the country for 2 years. By the time he finishes his contract, he'll be 33. I want him to go to med school. I've been telling him and pushing him into it because he's very passionate about work and really good at it. Also, I know naman na it's a lifetime career so maybe it wont matter much if he starts late. But he thinks otherwise. Feeling nya he's too old for med school. And also, nag aalala din sya sa finances kung kakayanin namin kasi we have 2 kids and another one on the way. As for me naman, feeling ko naman kaya namin as long as maayos management ng finances namin. So the very issue now is, it is really too late for him to go to med school?

Do you have classmates po ba na over 30 na nag take ng med but still make it? Thanks!

Before I graduated BSN, may mga naging ka-buddy ako ng medstudents who are around that age po. And honestly, wala naman po sa age yun. I think you should consider the finances po talaga. Dahil looking back, ang mahal na talaga ng magmed. But yes, everything is worth it after naman!

[â„¢Ppal_06]

Wow. Hi Doctoras 😍 i don't know if I'm allowed to post here kahit di naman ako med student or Doctor na pero...I'm planning po kasi of taking a second course, Med po sana. The thing is, wala naman akong pre-med course. Nabasa ko that would be fine so long as you can take yung kulang pang units na dapat macredit sa'yo to qualify for med. Tama po ba yon? Advise naman po, kasi feeling ko I lost a lot of time when I took my first course instead of the course that I have been dreaming since bata pa ko.

Thank youuuuu! ☺️

@ the lioness:
i have classmates in medschool who are 30+ and someone a bit older na rin. i dont think it will matter much. though a word of caution,  a good more than 50% of medstudents are really "young", meaning they've never had a job before, no kids, no worries in life so baka di maging ganun ka-align ang level of maturity nila vs your husband. in my case naman, even if there's someone na different, med students are not rude naman and they'll treat your hubby nicely and would even be understanding of his situation. feeling ko nga your hubby has an edge vs the kasi alam na niya how things work in real life, yun nga lang he has to go back to the basics, pero okay na rin yun. mas maiintidihan niya and mas magiging interested siguro siya. the practice of medicine is a culmination kasi all the subjects na inaral sa medschool.
you guys as his family should then be ready to be very understanding sa kanya, kasi of course he will not have the usual time he has to give to you. kailangan niya mag-aral etc. the first three years of medschool (that's when you're still in the classroom), for me keri naman. aral-aral lang, though depende na rin siguro sa grasp of knowledge and all that. the first 3 years are nothing compared for the rest of our medical career (lol). yun ang mahirap, i never got burned out studying, but the junior internship then post grad took its toll on me though thankfully i pushed and pushed. ganun naman sa med career, tanggap ng tanggap, sacrifice everything left and right. then residency, dun ang todo nakatira na siya sa ospital. yun lang.

^ hi sis. may mga medschools na tumatanggap naman kahit di "premed" talaga ang course. check uerm, i have classmates na engineers nung undergrad. 

[The Lioness]

hi sis yonamarie and  iwannabeasupermodel, thanks much! nabuhayan ako dito. i'm so close to giving up on my dream for him of which i know na gusto nya din. i wont be pushing him naman if ayaw nya talaga. but i really feel na he loves to, nagiging negative lang sya kapag naiisip nya na it may be too late. or baka di nga namin kayanin.but once na he gives his 100%, i'll be 200% supportive.

i know being a doctor is a lifetime feat. maybe super stressful din at physically draining. something na i never really thought of dahil tamad ako. some people thinks na status quo daw ang pagiging doctor. i guess they naver have an idea. gusto ko din yung daughter ko maging doctor. i know na possible na may iba syang gustuhin, pero kino condition ko sya for that. i make her go with my hubby during rescue trainings so she'll have exposure and maybe eventually likes it.

cheers to all doctors here!
