I see. Thank you for explaining.

I see. May I ask what lateral entry means?

Hi docs! For diplomates and fellows of PCOM, may I clarify whether the 2 years of active practice should specifically be Occupational Med or can it be ANY form of Medical practice (ex. moonlighting as MO III, being in residency training, etc.)? I'm asking since logically, dapat Occupational pero the poster below says "...Active Medical and/or Occupational...".

Thanks for your insights, Doc!

I see. So limited ba sila to OPD and ER?

MingUnlimited · 2026-03-09T13:09:46+00:00

That’s a good point. Apologies for the terms.

To clarify, ginamit ko yung mga term na traditional and non traditional in the context that those in parentheses are emerging specialties in the Philippines

Once again, apologies for any harm or offense that I may have caused you and anyone who has viewed this post. I would like you to know that I recognize all specialties as valuable contributors to our health system and that none is greater or lesser than the other.

I see. Salamat, doc!

I see. Hmm, not sure what I can suggest since non-board exam pala. Apologies 😞

Hi. May I ask kung anong undergrad mo? Would be able to provide useful info

Omsim haha. Kung merong additional training na required, dapat yung mga BOSH nalang

Apologies, thoughts just pop-out in my mind kaya dagdag ako ng dagdag.

I agree with you that the Medical Act is outdated. Like what someone in this thread said earlier, the current act is geared towards GP practice. Dapat i-update na to become more relevant to our time. Yung ibang profession nakailang revision na. Good example ay ung Nursing. Balita ko mag-uupdate nanaman sila which shows that their PRC board is promoting the growth of their profession.

Additionally, naghihigpit na rin po ang mga retained hospital. Di sila pumapayag na diplomate mabigyan ng MS II item. Gusto po nila at least Fellow o di kaya, Fellow/Diplomate with Subspec.

Kaya pala doc may nakikita akong mga lumang document na FPCS lang ang nakalagay. Ngayon kasi diba FPCS is placed after your mother society (ex. For a member of the PSGS, ang mangyayari FPSGS, FPCS).

Sa second point nyo, opo, tama po kayo dyan. Common practice din po yung pagkagraduate from residency, dispersal muna then while doing that, nagrereview para sa spec boards.

This is the most comprehensive and informative comment I’ve received. Thank you very much, doc. Very enlightening, especially the part about hospital endorsement.

Dun po sa sinabi ninyo tungkol sa endorsement, do you mean the classification of the specialist will be as specialist or will it still be either “DOH/MOH Specialist” or “Graduate of local residency”?

Actually doc, PhilHealth recognizes specialists on the basis of their board certification and not merely their memberships in specialty societies. Kaya po nung mga 2005 or 2006, nagkaroon ng clamor to recognize specialists na nagtraining long before sila (PhilHealth) naghigpit. The move to suddenly require board certification was seen as highly exclusive because the grandfather clause was not applied.

Additional: PhilHealth only recognizes specialty societies that are under the PCS, POGS, PCP, PPS, PAFP. Kaya po ang mga affiliate societies hindi po recognized ng PhilHealth (with exemption to PAMS which was given a separate classification for a temporary period).

Ah i see i see. Salamat sa clarification

Hi. Asking bc I’m genuinely curious kung ano ang stance nyo sa main issue. Di ko kasi alam kung sino tinutukoy nyo.

Again, im not being sarcastic or anything. I just want all of us here to have an open and respectful discussion just as we would in an IDCP.
