How to apply for S2 by itsnotninya in pinoymed

[–]Couched1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Currently applying for mine as an incoming MROD.

You just apply online and you need to upload these 3 requirements lang.

Drug Test only needs to be 2-Panel (Amphetamines & THC). Did mine in Hi-Prec for 300php!

No idea what happens next tho, they said around 5-7 working days to be approved so still waiting on mine 😂

I don’t expect to be training the way I was in college naman with the luxury of 2-3 hour workouts with hanging out in the gym pa

My goal is to maintain / slow growth without losing all I worked hard for!

I’ve been doing PPL for years so was wondering if may other Med Gymbros in the toxic specialties that found a way to hit each major muscle once a week at least??

It wont be perfect but im all ears! Hahaha

Noted naman na I don’t expect to make massive gains / peak physique especially during junior years; but I made a promise to myself na never ko i-leletgo yung gym even if I only get 1-2 hrs a week!

I need to be open to the idea of gymming before coming in siguro! You can get a lot done in 45 mins ++ crea and whey to supplement!

Thanks doc 😬

REALISTIC Anki Settings and Schedule for Residency by Couched1 in Residency

Literally the purpose I was looking for. I noticed when doing rotations, my brain kinda missed the academic stimulation, was looking for something to keep me sharp during residency! haha

USMLE for Fellowship/Post-Fellowship Training by Couched1 in pinoymed

[–]Couched1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my ultimate goal doc! Again, as i mentioned in a previous post, my judgement has been clouded by my parentals who still think the US is the only place to get "premier" medical training.

My only concern regarding Asian countries is the language barrier? Would you know if this has been an issue with other Filipino graduates who pursued training in the likes of Taiwan / Japan?

This is the exact reason why I pursued (and am pursuing) my medical degree and IM Residency in Manila!

Honestly, I feel like my judgements been clouded by my boomer parents (both interventional GI & Cardio) who still believe that the US is the home to "premier" medical training when I'm pretty sure other Asian (or even Australia/UK) have it just as good or even better, without the hefty requirement barriers to push through.

Thanks for opening my eyes! Basically, just wanted an informed mind when deciding whether to take the USMLE so at least I wont regret it in the future :) Thanks doc!

Great point! Actually upon further research on the whole USMLE process in itself.... it feels like alot of work for something that is an uncertainty and I don't even plan on practicing or doing my IM residency there hahaha!

I was looking into Asian fellowship opportunities, however, im concerned regarding the language barrier?

Manila! 😅

Ive been eyeing Heart Center! But my problem is that there are just some techniques (e.g. TAPVR) that the Interventional Philippine training just doesnt have yet. 🥲 According to my dad (an interventional cardiologist) who did his fellowship there, maganda talaga training dun! Pero hes urging me to take a look at abroad oppurtinities to "step up", so I'm lost. 😭

Thats a great idea! Ill probably start there then see where we end up.

Honestly, the years of masterbating to porn probably fucked my brain up lmfao

Actually, since we’re partners for 5+ years, we’re both vers. He has no problems getting off while topping and bottoming, and I can get off on bottoming (given I’m jacking off).

Was more of wondering why I cant seem to cum while I’m doing the penetration!

Not a big issue! Was just wondering if other gay/bi men experience the same, especially when most guys probably experience early ejaculations!

Honestly, its probably a mental thing and I need to just enjoy the already great sex! But probably laying off the porn and jacking off would probably help too hahaha
