RESIDENCY TRAINING Right After Passing The Boards
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- Supposedly a night out, but I took the chance to interview my classmates who went straight to Pedia, Derma, IM, and Ortho, residency right after passing the boards. Any regrets? Thoughts of quitting? Words of encouragement AND some real talk about life after med school.
Thank you so much!

My story was I did moonlighting for 1 year before I went into residency.
Reasons: 1. I wanted a break from everything. I wanted to refocus my drive. I wanted to make time for myself, my family and friends. I travelled, found new hobbies that I never knew I liked. I am a huge supporter of taking breaks. Sabbaticals. Maraming benefits yun. It boosts productivity and recharges the mind. It is even encouraged in other industries, especially among the creatives.
2. Even though I knew I was going into Pediatrics, I knew I wasn't ready to go on long shifts. I was expecting the worst - not getting enough sleep/not sleeping at all, not eating on time, no bathroom breaks, not going home on time. True enough, my expectations got surpassed when I entered into training. Kaya I was surprised to hear some of our juniors threatening to quit because di na raw sila masaya sa department. I mean, no one really enters this place expecting to have fun right? We're here to learn. And learning requires willingness to make decisions and mistakes.
3. Di ko alam kung anong hospital ang gusto kong applyan. Was weighing all of my options.
A lot of people were discouraging me from moonlighting, fearing that I will lose my drive to train. But I proved them wrong because I had a plan. Tayo lang naman ang makakapagsabi kung kelan tayo handa. Kasi we all know what happens pag napipilitan lang tayo and hindi natin gusto ang ginagawa natin. We will not survive.
Basta in all decision making, always choose to grow. Growth requires patience, hard work, effort. My mom always used to say always pick the road less travelled/the harder road. So goodluck sa pipiliin niyong path in the future. I know you will make it as long as you put your mind and heart into it!
novo mediko Indeed, go where you grow!!
Hi po! I'm a grade 12 student for this school year and I'll be a first year college next year. I want to pursue Pediatrics but I don't know what pre-med course is the most suitable. I'm really bad at Mathematics and computations but I'm doing okay in other subjects and I excel particularly in English and Science (except physics and chemistry because it deals with formulas) and I can't help but to worry na baka hindi ko kayanin yung Math related stuff in college if ever. I am also not underestimating my mathematical ability, but only stating the obvious. I hope po na may maipayo po kayo sa akin because I need guidance. Thank you po!
Elai Byun I'm glad to know that you are interested in the field of Pediatrics. However, what you should know at this stage in your life is that there is no single premed course that prepares you for Pediatrics specifically. There are, however, courses that will prepare you well for Medical school as a whole. Generally speaking, you can be sure that all premed courses will include some form of advanced Mathematics and Sciences because it is a requirement before you are eligible to apply for Med school and even as soon as you apply for a National Medical Admission Test or an NMAT. It is the test to take to assess your readiness for medical school and is considered as the national med school entrance exam. Let's go back to your question regarding the premed to take that will best prepare you for medical school. I cannot help but to be biased because I am a UST MedTech graduate and a registered Medical Technologist aside from my medical license. So I think taking a premed that will also give you a professional license that exposes you to hospital will be good. These are BS MedTech, Pharmacy, Biochemistry/Chemistry, Nursing, Physical and Occupational Therapy, Sports Science. I personally chose BS MedTech from the recommendation of the UST OSA rep during our career orientation in highschool and I had no regrets. Basically, almost all of my 2nd year medicine lab subjects, I already took as a MedTech undergrad. It really helped me a lot during that time. Ultimately, all of these courses have their pros and cons. It's just that I can't speak for most of then. Anyway, goodluck in your journey and remember to take things one day at a time but it won't be bad to have a future plan for yourself. Just be flexible and not beat yourself up if ever you experience things that deviate from your plan. Pray and dedicate your intentions to God and He will help you succeed.
Thank you so much for the information! I will about think it thoroughly and do my best in school and pray to ask God's help. Hopefully, I can find courage soon. I am looking forward to be a doctor years from now :)
Elai Byun Same here I'm also like that.
Never dreamt of becoming a doctor. In fact, I wanted to be a lawyer ever since I was a child. But here i am, chose to take a premed program for college as my preparation for med school. And ate aura, with all honesty, my dream of becoming a doctor blossomed when i started watching your vlogs. And even if i spent two years in shs under the ABM strand which highly focuses on businesses, I took the risk of applying for a science course this college to finally pursue medicine. Thanks for the inspiration doc! :)
Kapag talaga may passion sa ginagawa "no regrets" kahit mahirap. 💝
Anak kong residente...nakikita kong laglag sa kama , kapag darating sa bahay but no regrets pa din daw sya . But first time kong makapunta ng Bambang dahil sa kanya ❤️
Nakakatuwa, iba iba yung speciality ng friends niyo!! Tsaka gusto ko na antibiotics yung pinag uusapan nyo sa night out haha loveeet
not yet sure kung proud ako sa topic na yon hahahahuhuhuhu
Nice Interesting Vlog again.. Very Informative. For Me., No Regrets Din ako When I Decided To Have My Pediatric Residency Training after My Medical Board Exam. Mixed Emotions Lalo na Toxic pa Ang Government Hospital Na Napasukan Ko and Yet I'm Not sure Before If Pedia Talaga Gusto ko until matapos Pre-Residency Training Assessment ko. At the same time Fulfilling Nung Natapos Ko Ang 3-years Training despite of The Hardships.. Sleepless Duties.. Mortalities and Morbidities.. The Case Census Presentatios.. Research Case Study.. Quizzes..Oral Revalida OSCHE ..idagdag pa ang Pambubully Ng mga Seniores ko noon.. and Now I'm proud to say I'm Happy on the field I chose.😀😀😀🤗🤗
Magigibg pediatrician din po ako in the future, Endocrinology to benexact po and then sasali ako sa pcp, then mag fefelow po ako sa Philippine Pediatric Society and Philippine Society of Endocrinology Metabolism and Diabetes. I hope someday magawa ko lahat ito 😊
I really love listening to stories from doctors/residents kayaaaaaa mag-aaral na ako dahil may exam na naman 😅
Aral ka maigi anak..kaya mo yan..tie your dream to your goal..not just to people, they may destroy it...
I have friends who went moonlighting after passing the PLE even though they already knew what specialty they wanted to take just because they wanted to recharge, recuperate, and reward themselves.. Now they are Fellow / Consultants who still are at the top of their game. ^_^
Thank you for this video. Currently in clerkship and nag-iisip na ako ng specialty na gusto ko and plan ko after boards. Very helpful and relevant!
Mag fi-first year med na po ako. Ang lapit na. Kinda excited and anxious. Heheh.
kailan first day? :)
Aura Azarcon hi doc heheh yeeey nag reply ka! Hmmm this aug 1 na po. 😊
congrats! Top 7 sa PT boards yan, doc aura! Galeeeng!
Dr. Santos wisdom is the bomb! 🔥🔥👍👍 Nice.

hi doc aura. Thank you for another great video..i hope you could do another video where you could recommend different hospitals with residency training for different specializations. It could really help a lot of doctors who doesnt have any ideas where to apply..Thank you so much :)

Sobrang inspiring nung sinabi ni Doc Arroyo. Makapag muni-muni na nga ....
Sobrang informative Doc Aura. Parang nakakalungkot if after residency ka tapos hindi ka pa makapasa sa specialty mo, especially as Doc Mikhail, time is really of the essence pala =( Pag ganun po I guess back to moonlighting ulit until the next exam (of many.. hehe)...

First time ko po makita channel niyo... thank you, it's so helpful 😊
Nung first day of clerkship gulat na gulat ako sabi ko ano tong pinasok kong pagduduty na to so paano ang buhay. Heto kakapasa lang, nag apply palang. Ibang level raw learning curve ng residency pero kayod lang. Ang medisina para sa mga matitigas ang ulo at di susuko, kasi yung training mo usually di ka naman susukuan.
huhuhu yes this makes a lot of sense. what specialty are you applying to? :)
@@AuraAzarcon omg hi doc! anes po :)
Dr. Pescante!!! Great doctor huhu 😭💕
What happened?
Uso ba toxic sayo ate Au?
Parang always pretty,fresh and looking young mo naman😍
Dahil sayo gusto ko mag doctor ;( but gusto ko rin mag pharmacist. But here in Canada we don't need pre med ;( i don't know what to choose
what? so straight to medicine?
Yup. Sabi ng teachers ko ngayon high school
Yes that’s true same in U.K. Deretso medicine 6 years, disadvantage when you change your mind in the middle of taking medicine, wala kang fallback kasi walang pre-med
Waaahh kahit sobrang layo ng course ko dito, pinapanood tlga kita lagi doc 😍 super enjoyyy dami ko learnings lalo n ung di pagqquit 😄☺
AAAWWWW totoo pag may sinimulan ka tapusin mo ganern GRIT
Aura Azarcon yap doc thankyou sa vlog. Tska sama mo po lagi si bf mo nkakatuwa tlga sya 😄
Doc.Aura 100k na malapit na
yehey nag-upload nanaman si Doc!!!
Sobrang exciting!!!
Excited too see Dr. Aura someday. I hope ma check up nya ako

Hi doc :) naks another very informative vid nanaman po :) thank you so much kahit malayo pa lang ako natututo akong mag hope in the future at mangarap kung ano talaga gusto kong path hahaha thanks doc:)
P.s. kelan nyo po kaya magagawa yung vid about sa kung paano ma organize yung notes po lalo na ang dami dami hahaha thank you doc. God Bless you po :)

I love your videos Doc Aura! You really inspire me to be a doctor someday. Sana mapush ang pagme-medicine ko!
Gogogo!!!
Aura Azarcon Thank you Doc! Can you also make a video about aspiring doctors na gusto pag-aralin ang sarili nila? I mean, yung mga hindi na balak suportahan ng parents? Hahaha thanks doc :)
nakakinspire mag aral ng mabuti 🤧❤️
Not a medical student but i love watching your videos
hi ate aura... kahit maikli vid niu po super sulit...
Doc Aura i just want to ask what's your opinion about Anesthesia? It's my dream specialization and i think it's not that common in the Philippines so I just want some insight? Enlighten me Doc 😊💖
Hi doc Aura! :) Do you know anyone who took the USMLE? I am currently a 3rd yr med student and I am curious and basically clueless about this path but I am very interested to know how hard it is to pass the USMLE and to get a chance to do residency in the US. As far as I know, some Filipinos do get to pass it. I hope you can share some things in line with this! Thank you! I really find your videos inspiring and informative 😁
Haha yung vlog talaga na mga ganito eh. . Feeling ko tuloy enjoy talaga mag med hahah nalilito na talaga ako hahah
Enjoy naman talaga ah hahahaha
I like your vlog doc. Very informative po yung contents nyo lalo na po sa amin na gusto mag-pursue pero walang chance . I wish I had a chance to become a medical practioner also... 😞😞😞
Hello po Doc Aura! 💙 can i request for an indept video about the diff specialties? I know po that u already have one with ate baninay but it would be great po if it's more on facts and discussion hehe. I'm so sorry Doc Au if im being to damanding 😭😭😭 i just want to suggest po 💙 love u po 😭💕
Doc, gawa ka pa po ng vlogs nakaka inspired po talaga
Doc, question lang. Bakit lahat ng med student or nagre-residency ang fresh fresh pa rin ng mukha? Tipong pimple and acne free. Bakit ganeeern huhu sana ako din sa future. Napansin ko lang talaga haha.
Did Dr Erika Elazegui pass the broad the same year as you?
Time is GOLD..
yes
Ate, gawa ka po ng video about sa different meaning ng white coat ng doctors in terms of length? Thank you.
First like din hahahaha finally
Nas Recto DoktAura Inggit ako hahahaha
Juan Carlos Rosales wag ka mainggit hahahaha mag abang ka din
Ate Auraaaa, can you have more videos about pre med po like for example asking your fellow doctors about their pre med experiences po in the past ü
Working on it hihi
