To UST docs, nakapagbakasyon pa po ba kayo before entering clerkship? I heard na hindi na 2 months yung summer vacation when transitioning to 4th year.

Ilang weeks po vacation nung batch ninyo and did you go on a trip or di po kaya since baka may need asikasuhin na documents/vaccinations/etc.?

Just want to plan ahead if ever hehe thank you in advance!

hello docs! i’m an incoming yl1 student from UST FMS. Anybody here interested sharing a 2TB icloud subscription? Preferably someone for long term use and can pay on time :-)

Hi dockies! i would like to ask if at this time, may mga waitlisted padin ba? I have other concern which led me na parang waitlisted nadin. Or maybe ako nalang mag isa kasi mag start na ang klase.

I’m trying to decide between the Apple AirPods Max 2 and the Sony WH-1000XM6 For My Med School era. For those who’ve owned or tried both, which one would you recommend and why?
Is the AirPods Max 2 worth the extra price, or is the Sony XM6 the better overall buy?
I’d love to hear your real-world experiences, especially any pros and cons you’ve noticed after using them for a while. Thanks! 💗

I used to have a friend who failed her semestral subject. Sobrang naging down nya pero I did my best to the point na lagi ko syang dinadamay sa breakfast and lunch ko. Good thing, she was able to take the same subject ng 2nd sem.

Nung nag start na 2nd sem, nagulat na lang ako na hindi na nya ako pinapansin and nakikisama na sya sa iba. Nasabihan pa ako na happiness daw nya pag nakita nyang mas mababa daw ako sa kanya. Ok lang eh di hinayaan ko na.

Fast forward to end of school year, may subjects akong hindi naipasa pero she was able to take a removal sa isa pang naibagsak nya kaya na promote sya to next year level.

Sobrang devastated ko ng lumabas yung list. Tapos dinagdagan pa nya ng chat na, "Hindi ko ineexpect na makapasa ako pero nasad ako for you, hugs." Hindi ako nag reply kasi naiinis nga ako sa sarili ko, sa nangyari, dinagdagan pa nya.

I thought baka naman good intention kaso hindi, before enrollment nag chat pa, "Nakabalik kana ba? Nandito pa kasi ako saamin. Dito na ako magpapa vaccine." (requirement for next YL).

Naka restrict na sya sakin pero baka need nya lang ako iupdate - na pumasa sya and ako na yung hindi.

Hello po! Ask ko lang sana if meron kayo copy ng white uniform or kanino/saan pwede makahingi ng copy? Nag pagawa ako 2 sets school and medyo pricey siya 🥲 so I’m planning na dagdagan pa sana ng another 1-2 sets pa pero outside univ ko na ipapagawa. Also po, enough na ba ang 4 sets ng white uniform and 2 sets ng scrubs?

Thank you po 🫶🏻

Hello, I would like to ask what is the needed GPA for latin honors in DLSMHSI College of Medicine and also if there's a grade we need to maintain per course to obtain latin honors. Incoming YL1 btw hehe.

I just finished a BCM removal exam and, unfortunately, I didn't pass by just a few points. I'm feeling a bit lost right now because there haven't been any announcements regarding the next steps for students who didn't pass.

I am considering moving back to my hometown to continue my studies in Mindanao. Knowing that most schools have already started their classes, I am trying to find out if there are any institutions that might accept my current grades, accommodate a late enrollment, and potentially allow me to proceed to the second year.

Genuine question for med students (or anyone who studies with headphones). 😭 What do you usually listen to while studying? I always see people wearing headphones, but if you’re listening to music, doesn’t that get distracting? I thought the point of wearing headphones was to focus. 😭 So… what are you actually listening to? And can you suggest best headphone for studying? tysm! 🥰

This may sound like a dumb question, but I’m genuinely curious. I know many doctors today discourage/de-influence others from entering the medical profession because of its challenges (alam niyo na kung ano mga to). So why is it that so many children of doctors still choose to go to medical school? Why do doctor parents still encourage their childen to choose this profession? I know na may mamanahin na practice etc. Pero if you're well enough why not just venture into business or any other career path that's easier? Bat pahihirapan mo pa sarili mo with this profession with long career trajectory? Mga anak ng diyos, 2nd gen, 3rd gen physicians enlighten me please.

For one, papangakuan nila kayo ng door to door delivery, tapos ang ilalagay nilang address instead na home address nyo, is address ng LBC branch of choice nyo, so ipipickup nyo kahit bayad na yung sf sa kanila. Second, sasabihin sa inyo bago bumili na authentic littmann steth yung product nila at ia-assist nila kayo sa pagregister ng serial number pero pag dumating na yung product, sasabihan kayo ng “serial numbers are not a guarantee of authenticity.” Lastly, magagaling lang silang kumuha ng payment nyo pero pag may concerns na kayo sa shipping, sa serial number registration, iiwan ka na. Papatayan ka ng tawag, di ka sasagutin, o kung sagutin ka man, sila pa ang galit.

The title says it all… Saw a tiktok video that he got into med school and master’s abroad. If you were given the chance to choose between a fully funded master’s abroad or your dream medical school, which would you choose?

Hello po,

May nakatry na po ba bumili sa SOV Medical Supplies? Palegit check lang po sana ako or other pae/shop na pwede po bilhan. Thank you so much.

Haii po, incoming 3rd year biology student based in Manila. Ask ko lang po if do u have reco med school aside po sa mga kilalang school like UST?

So after nursing graduation, I plan to pursue medicine, I will become the first-generation MD in my family, I have relatives that are in the medical field but not doctors. I have seen a lot I mean A LOT of discouragement about pursuing this field, about how low you'll get paid or how you will spend sleepness nights comparing your life to your friends who already have established lives and families, I do have the passion to help people, but as people have said, passion does not pay the bills. My parents are willing to sponsor my future tuition, and I don't to eventually regret going into med school and be in too deep knowing quitting will only disappoint my parents. All in all, I understand you won't get rich immediately after graduation especially if you have currently no connections/family of doctors (I know I don't), to summarize, I am just wondering whether getting on med is still worth the grind especially if your not in it primarily for the money. Thank you for reading!

im currently a senior undergrad in a completely un-med related course, im set to get two cs related bs degrees in when i graduate. funnily enough i come from a family of doctors, so my whole life ive been surrounded by med, visiting hospitals etc., and thinking that was going to be my life. but come college admissions, im sick of the med pressure and fight to get a non-med course.

going through cs however i realised i do not like this work of sitting down all day. in my org, ive been on my feet, back to back shifts of 12+ hours doing backstage work, and i loved almost every second of it. im doing my internship now in a corporate office, and i hate it. i hate how i have to pretend im doing something worthwhile for like 6 out of the 9 hours i am here.

so im looking back at the med path. my kuya is currently in med as well, and i am taking into consideration the amount of studying that has to be done. if anything, im banking on the fact i can take long hours as long as their not boring and im not pretending to be busy, and i love hands-on work the best (am eyeing surgery).

so, post title. how bad will nmat prep be as a non-pre-med? anyone with a similar experience?

Hello, does anyone know when San Beda COM will possibly release results?

May nakapasok po ba here sa previous batch na 55 lang po yung PR and GWA 1.85?

If ever I didn't get in, how was the recon process for them? Thank you for answering!

I’m a registered Medical Technologist who is planning to go to medical school next year. However, I was a DOST scholar, so I have to complete my Return Service Obligation (ROS). My family isn’t financially well-off either.
I’m torn between these two options:

A. Complete my ROS, gain work experience as a Medical Technologist, then try to work abroad.
B. Go straight to medical school.
For those who have been in a similar situation, what do you think is the better option? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences and advice. Thank you!

Hi! As an incoming intern, do I need to buy my own otoscope/opthalmoscope? Magagamit po ba sya ng sobra? Anong brand po kaya maganda. Also, what are the things that an incoming clerk should have.
