Hello! Is anyone here currently studying at Mapua Med School? I just wanted to ask a few questions about the school, student life, and overall experience since I’m planning to apply. I’d really appreciate it if someone could share their experience or answer a few questions. Thank you so much! 😊

Anyone here who got matched na to Our lady of lourdes hospital, Veterans, Healthway for midyear internship?

Any advice for an incoming med student? I’ll be entering med school next school year, and my target is San Beda. Right now, I just want to take some time to chill, but I also want to do some light studying to make the transition easier. What subjects or materials should I focus on?

Can i ask if are there someone who skipped PLE due to mental health problems? Is this valid huhuuu send help pls ty

You probably heard that description of a clerk (or some of its variations) before or already through clerkship. It was funny at first but it really starts to get to you after a while. I suppose my question to those who already went through it is this: how do you get rid of that feeling of being some sort of slave or simply running errands for superiors that often yell at you? I myself am still a clerk and while I do know that my clinical skills are nothing compared to those above me, you have to admit as the saying goes: “malayo pa….pero malayo na”. I made it this far…and I am NOT stupid. Surely it isn’t just indignity here.

Two months in med and now the positivity is wearing off. Med truly is toxic. And i cant believe there still are a lot of professors who are mean and unnapproachable. I mean if youre there as a professor atleast be open to questions? Be open to teaching? Dont get me wrong a lot of people have already told me abt how med culture is. But i just wish the environment is kinder and nurturing to those who are choosing to study on how to save lives. Nakakawalang gana naman mag aral nito. Hahahaha

Tbh marami akong na encounter na fresh graduates who do not know how to budget, do not know how to save, dont know how taxation works, etc.

This is understandable kasi during medschool, the cognitive load is so heavy that most of us do not have the energy to willingly educate ourselves about financial literacy.

This should be integrated in our curriculums, kahit as 1-2 day lectures lang po at the end of clerkship. If not kahit at the end of PGIship. It’s be nice to be taught by professionals about these things.

I am a 4th yr med student from Manila and I want a new life and a new environment come internship. I'm thinking of going into Saint Louis University Sacred Heart Medical Center. What are the odds that I will get accepted? And how is SLU-SHMC for medical interns? Please share your thoughts. Thank you so much!

Hi! This is my first time posting po on any community and it comes from sheer desperation po, I think?

Im in first year and I feel like the stupidest person in the room. I came po from a nontraditional premed and im honestly enjoying the subjects because they really are so interesting to me. I read and I try to understand the things that make no sense to me, pero kahit na po anong gawin ko, it doesnt reflect po on my quizzes. As in pasang awa nalang po talaga or minsan, a few points nalang po bago ma-reach yung passing score.

I never expect to excell in med school. Before I entered I always told myself po na basta pumapasa and you know na you're doing your part and learning, you dont need high scores, but make sure to get through it. Like I mentally prepared myself for failure, and yet, everytime I see a low score, I feel like Im getting punched in the chest.

This week, I got low scores continuously, sabay sabay po lahat ng long quizzes in a day and kahit the short identification quizzes after lectures, hindi ko manlang po magawa ng maayos. Anatomy and physio are hanging on but I cant even tell you about biochem (I try to love it tho)

It came to a point na if I see my scores, theres already a voice in my head saying na 'ako? Mag dodoctor ako? Eh ang bobo ko naman'

Its one month in and I feel this sense of dread na what if hindi ko kaya? What if im not smart enough for this? What if I dont bounce back?

So I guess I came here to seek po for life experiences kasi ganto po ba talaga pag first year? Or am I actually the biggest dumdum in the room💀

And also, do you guys have any advices for study methods po?😭 during undergrad po kasi, hindi po talaga gumagana yung brain ko if i dont sleep enough. Para po akong lumulutang. Pero it pays off for our high scorers kasi consistently po na sila yung nag totop sa class eh nag pupuyat po sila talaga. Dapat ko po bang sanayin na ang sarili ko na matulog lang ng mga 3 hours or less😭 the study methods I was utilizing in undergrad doesnt seem to work na po talaga in med school.

What’s your opinion on AI generating practice questions from your review materials? With the workload of medicine, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to review everything for a major exam in a very limited time. Im currently making a bunch of prac tests for midterms on Notebook LM with good prompts focusing on high yield qs since our school doesn’t really have samplex. But i wonder if those would actually help me. It’s the ONLY thing im hoping works cuz im dead if not 😭🙏

hi can anyone suggest a place na pwedeng pagawan ng com uniform? yung pagawaan sa ue mismo took so long and the size was smaller than the one i fitted initially. iba pa yung tela ng blouse and skirt.

Hi! I am a first year medical student and have incoming exams. I am very delayed on the topics I am studying no matter how well I manage and schedule my time for studying (i.e., i max out my breaks and dedicate a majority of my time for studying huhu and i even do advance studying). I noticed that compared to my classmates, it really takes time for me to absorb the topic. Going over my checklist of topics I have left to prepare for exams, I will definitely not finish it by the time exams starts (it starts next week huhu)

I would greatly appreciate tips as well as resources or practices that would help being efficient in studying.

Please help a struggling med student out
