Recent PLE passer here and got accepted in my dream residency program. I’m just sad na wala man lang celebration for me. Mahirap kami I know pero kahit isang beses man lang sana magtravel kami ng family ko to a local beach or smth bago ialay ko ang rest of my 20s sa pagkaalipin sa hospital. Pero wala eh. I won’t be quitting naman pero nalulungkot lang talaga ako na I can’t even properly celebrate my wins since graduation kasi wala rin naman akong pera. Tapos may thoughts pa na my parents are not getting any younger (my dad is 65). Hayst ang hirap naman ng med akala ko mas madali na life after grad haha

Praying and hoping na lang talaga for better days ahead 🙏

Just want to ask if ganito rin ba sa ibang med schools?

Marami sa batch namin pinipili umabsent sa lectures to study for an exam to be taken on the same day. But our admin became stricter. They decided to implement na fr yung rule na if aabsent ka, either di ka makakapag take or ivovoid yung exam mo. For me, tao lang din naman kami hindi robots 😭 We all have different learning styles as well!

We are expected to listen to lectures the whole morning habang may shifting exam (like not quizzes lang ha! exam as in 65% ng grado exam!) na naghihintay after lunch.

Minsan pa nga nagpapatawag for recitation yung mga dokies and expect us to read the new material before entering class that day (AGAIN, knowing na may exam that same day sa previous lessons) And boy do these doctors love to read what’s already in their powerpoints. So helpful ah!

Dagdag mo pa na halos 7 to 7 yung schedule araw-araw monday to saturday. Yes, we have to attend lectures after the exam and bawal umabsent! Kasi ma vovoid yung exam na tinake 🙃 Dagdag stress pa traffic pauwi. Pili ka nalang kung yung 20 chapters coverage o tulog aatupagin mo.

The worst part is, the cycle repeats EVERYDAY. Intense studying every night —> Di makikinig sa morning lectures kasi mag aaral + paswertehan nalang sa bunot ng recitation —> Exam —> Lectures hanggang 7pm —> Traffic —> Aral —> Repeat!

Nakakasuka na. The only break in a week: saturday night tapos bakbakan ulit.

Tatanungin nga kami kung kamusta kami pero pag sinabi naming napapagod kami sa schedule namin, igagaslight lang kami na dapat inaaral muna namin lahat bago pumasok at dapat 2nd read na pagpasok. Kasi kinaya naman daw nila dokie dati 🥴 Baka di daw kami nag aaral nang maayos kasi nahihirapan kami. (Doc, di po kayo nag modular dati!) I mean ideally that would be great!

Maybe some would think this is the norm for med students. Pero really? Is this still healthy? Sobrang burnt out ko na po. Di ka romanromanticize tomg ganito. O baka OA lang kami as a batch? nyahaha

Okay my pomodoro break is done balik na po ulit sa aral. Might delete later. Call me a little bitch for ranting pero shet pagod na ako.

anyone here who also skips lectures to study for another subject? do you feel guilty about it? is it worth it? i feel like im about to resort to skipping some lectures to study for a long exam 😭

Hahahha 4 months in clerkship and I’m tired, burnout, my mental health is effed up, always on edge like I don’t think I’m improving or something like I keep effing things up, I feel isolated from my og barkada and I’m having a hard time or on edge with my groupmates sometimes its messing up with my mental health hahaha

That’s why I decided to deactivate my ig accounts, or whatever socmed acct except for messenger kasi may choice pa ba ako? And have written a LOA letter and planning on making pacheckup sa Psych because really, hinding hindi ko na kaya hahahahhahahahahahah araw-araw na lang akong nalulungkot and nung sinagot ko yung phq-9, ang taas ng score ko haha for severe depression na raw hahaahhahaha i cant handle this anymore

I want to quit HAHA pls convince me why I shouldnt hahaha or ewan what do you think? :( Coz I reallllyyyyy can’t handle this anymore to the point (Trigger warning) i’m having ideations

hi, my first choice talaga is asmph kasi gusto ko talaga curriculum nila. i know a lot of people in asmph ngayon kasi atenista ako, pero most if not all of them are... basta sabihin natin mas angat sila sa akin sjwjsjwksj

i just wanted to ask anyone dito na mga middle class na saks lang talaga budget for asmph. familiar ako na may tg system ang asmph and i see my seniors na palaging lunch out o gumagala, minsan out of town pa gala nila huhu. i'm very introverted, so i'm worried 'di ako makakasabay :( importante pa support system sa med huhu

anyway ito po questions ko

1. do you ever feel left out of ur tg? i just want to know ur personal experiences.......

2. keri ba ang commute? im from cubao— parang ok lang naman but um. nagcommute ako via mrt noong internship ko ibang level talaga ang mrt kaysa lrt 😂

received my grade for the first shift and i only got around 50 :/

kaya pa ba maka 75 dito by the end of the school year? i’m really struggling with this subject, hirap din ako sa short quizzes since identification sya and ilang seconds lang per question.

any advice from seniors would be highly appreciated (short quizzes, pracs, etc.)

Is this med school from Nueva Ecija accredited? I heard its pioneer batch hasn’t graduated yet, but some of their students are reportedly in PGIship without diplomas. How is that even possible? Is that even allowed?

Can you please share info sa mga nagPGI po sa sa East Avenue, PGH, JRMC, Ospital ng Maynila etc.,

Would you recommend, why or why not?
What was it like? Duty hours, patient volume, toxixity of hospitals etc.,

Thank youuu

Hi! May mga doctors or GPs ba dito na nagwo-work sa BPO or healthcare accounts na pure WFH? Waiting na lang ako for oath-taking and currently looking for job opportunities sana. Since I’m pregnant, hoping to find a WFH job na rin. Baka may alam kayong companies na hiring or if may personal experience kayo sa ganitong work, would really appreciate your advice. Thank you! ❤️

Hello Bedan doctors! Since 2nd sem is fast approaching, ask ko lang po if usually same sa first sem ang tuition or mababawasan/madadagdagan given na may kasamang scrubs & retreat sa 1st sem tuition fee? Pls help, been planning my expenses for next year

Hello, doctors! As a first gen doctor.
I’m considering applying for **Neurology residency at East Avenue Medical Center (EAMC) or Quirino Memorial Medical Center (QMMC)**, and I would really appreciate hearing from current residents, graduates, or anyone familiar with either program.
I would love to hear your insights regarding the following:
**Training:** How is the quality of training, case exposure, teaching, and consultant support in both institutions?
**Salary and benefits:** How much is the monthly salary, including benefits and allowances, if any?
**Work-life balance:** How heavy is the workload? Is it manageable, and how are the duty schedules?
**Application process:** Do either of these hospitals accept midyear applicants? If so, when do applications usually open?
**Acceptance chances:** I recently passed the PLE with an **85% rating and a class rank included in the Top 20**. Do you think I have a reasonable chance of being accepted into either program? What other factors do they usually consider during the application process?
I would be grateful for any advice, personal experiences, or recommendations that could help me decide which program would be a better fit.
Thank you so much, doctors! Any insights would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏻

Hello doctors! Would like to buy a stethoscope. Pa legit check pleaseeee https://www.facebook.com/share/1QXpbYnyL9/

someone selling po or want to share reviewers? Thank you so much po. pls comment or dm me po if you have

Hello doctors esp sa mga recent passers! I’ve read from prev post here na tentative date for Manila oath taking is Nov 30. May changes po kaya dito at alam niyo po ba kung san sya gaganapin? Will it be PICC or SMX po?

Salamat po sa magrereply 🥹

Good day docs! Ako po ay 31F 2025 graduate and nag 1 year moonlight po. Now nag apply as pre-res sa GS (first love po ang GS) at parang im slowly realizing na maybe hospital residency isnt for me. Baka dala na rin sa pagod at age etc, di ko pa rin sure sa sarili ko

Inisip ko po mag shift tracks and do a shorter residency (peds, IM, psych) but interest ko talaga is OR, di ko alam if mapipilit ko sarili ko to do something di buo ang loob ko.

Anyway, ano pa po kaya ang career options for GPs ? May stigma pa rin kasi pag GP na nag moonlight lang sa mga clinic, baka may ibang field of work that can be both fulfilling and not frowned upon

Thank you po for your suggestions!
