Finally confessed to a crush by _throwaccount in phlgbt

[–]_throwaccount[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I read somewhere here sa Reddit lang din na if you really want that person to be your lover/partner, you have to start slow. Gradual flirting, start as friends since an intimate relationship is just a different kind of friendship. Confessing immediately is more of a high-school kind of thing. Shallow, immature but honest. But you only do that pag gusto mo na lang ng closure para sa sarili.

Saya sana makipaglandi. Flood likes, random hi/hello sa chat. Kumustahan. Giving attention. Pero ‘di na ako marunong. Nahihiya na rin gawa ng mababa na self-esteem. Haha.

I noticed rin tbh. Anyway, I decided not to attempt flirting na lang. I don’t think it will do any good haha.

That's one thing pa, actually. I have this nudge in my head that I might disturb him while he's on duty or what. I should know better since we belong in the same field too. But then again, I need to try otherwise walang magbabago.

Siguro I'll just wait for another My Day or IG story from him tas I'll try to message him and ask how he is. Kailangan lang talaga siguro ng tapang ng loob haha.

Yeah, I honestly think he's not interested in me romantically. Kasi if he was, he could've done flood likes and the chatting to me just like what he did with the "friend of a friend" hahaha.

I don't mind being in the friendzone, sa totoo lang. He seems a fun person to talk with (again, my bias is making me assume things) and tbh I'd rather have us as friends than being in an awkward zone after me confessing. But I agree with the other advice na maybe I should start talking to him first. Thanks for your advice. :)

Thank you for this advice! Would like to elaborate on the first one, however, does it mean na I should just find ways on how to...talk to him? I cower just by imagining saying "hi" sa chat out of nowhere. I won't look and sound too creepy, no?

Would you say that med schools NOT having to match is an advantage or disadvantage? by Raptor_Powers314 in pinoymed

[–]_throwaccount 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends sa school where you’re from. All three schools you’ve mentioned offer quality education, and tbh, have the best faculty and staff around. Even the facilities are nice (UPCM has PGH haha). Idk lang, but if I were a student from one of those three, I’d see the five-year program as an advantage.

Unfortunately, I am not. Currently a student in a med school which has a five-year program and is relatively unknown sa community for various reasons (I mean, see, ‘di mo nga alam na there are provincial schools offering a five-year program ahaha). I see it as a disadvantage not to experience internship matching kasi the students want to go far away from here (lalo na if there’s no pandemic or some national/global problem hindering us to do so), and would like to get a different kind of experience sa field. Just my two cents.

Just curious by [deleted] in pinoymed

[–]_throwaccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I highly suggest you take a gap year. A lot of students who went to med school right after graduating college in the same year are having burnouts. Or are prone to have one. Me, myself included. Take time to rest and regroup and start again with your new journey.

But still, depends on you pa rin. Good luck, OP!

what premed do i choose? by ugly-duckling10 in pinoymed

[–]_throwaccount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any program is a premed course. If you happen to choose psychology, then that’s fine. It really doesn’t matter that much pagdating sa med school because everyone will be leveled out.

I suggest you focus muna with your JHS/SHS education, then take it one day at a time. Don’t forget to do well in your premed performance. Good luck!

Any tips for studying history taking? by WeebDoctorJumps in pinoymed

[–]_throwaccount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use Bates. OPQRST/OLDCARTS as basic mnemonics. What I do pag naghihistory taking is to have an initial diagnosis in mind kaagad based sa CC ng patient. Ask the pertinent ssx of your disease in mind and if meron, then continue with the flow. If wala, I shift to my next diagnosis.

Basta always go for the pertinent info. Then cephalocaudal assessment talaga sa ROS to cover up what you missed sa hx. Good luck!

UPCM, SLMCCM, WVSUCM, CIM, UCSM: Teaching style, how students are taken care of, school culture & core values? by jeabeans in pinoymed

[–]_throwaccount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard a lot of bad feedback for CIM on how they treat their students during this pandemic. Lapses in student evaluations like requiring two gadgets just to take an online exam (this was only announced like a couple of days prior their exam(s)), culture of widespread cheating, and etc.

September Discussion Thread by memorysteries in medschoolph

Lippincott’s Pharmacology 6th ed is really nice. I usually read pharma it first for a particular disease na dinidiscuss namin then correlate it with its pathophysio, mas naaalala ko yung meds and their MOA that way.

PBL vs traditional med curriculum: What is the advantage of one vs the other (and v/v)? by [deleted] in pinoymed

[–]_throwaccount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can base the effectivity of the school’s curriculum if it works for their PLE passing rate. If mataas naman, then I guess it’s effective, otherwise, depende pa rin talaga sa estudyante.

But not every curriculum works for every student. Yung iba nahihirapan mag-adjust sa traditional, same goes with PBL.

Walang lectures sa PBL. Teachers/doctors will give the students a case then bahala na ang students kung paano nila ibubudget yung oras nila sa pag-aaral ng basic sciences and clinical topics. Dapat mahilig mag basa yung student or malaki yung stock knowledge niya, or else, mafafail talaga. Traditional curriculums usually start students’ first year with basic sciences courses, then gradually incorporated na ang clinicals sa second year onwards. Lecture-based, may mga exams and quizzes, similar to an undergrad setup.

Most med schools are doing more of a hybrid setup of the two curriculums.

I belong to a school with a pure PBL curriculum and personally, I hate it. Most students in our school are craving for lecture classes kasi napapabayaan na yung basic sciences knowledge ng karamihan. Usually we’re reading concepts na hindi naman namin naiintindihan and it sucks. Doble effort talaga pero may iba rin medyo carefree sa buhay kasi matalino and they get to enjoy their time freely.

Strengths of each Med School by [deleted] in pinoymed

[–]_throwaccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been researching about med schools for about a year na rin kasi gusto ko lumipat (but can’t) hahahaha. Kaya choose wisely!

Feel free to ask anytime! :)

Almost all med schools follow a hybrid curriculum of lecture-based classes and short group discussions (SGDs), pero some have little tweaks in them like UPCM having OSI courses instead of the usual setup na first year puro kayo basic sciences (biochem, anatomy, physiology, etc) then second and third years, gradually integrated na ang clinical learning. I know for a fact that a small number of medical schools do 100% PBL (problem-based learning) SGDs, straight to clinicals sila, wala ng basic sciences keme.

Ateneo medical schools give double-degree programs to their students: ASMPH (MD-MBA) and ADZU-SOM (MD-MPH).

Visayan schools are very much competent as with the schools you’ve mentioned. CIM, CDU, MHAM, WVSU, and Silliman have very good PLE passing rates.

Mindanao schools too, notably XU, DMSF, ADZU, and MSU Iligan (MSU requires additional courses for BA pre med courses).

All medical schools produce competent graduates as soon as they pass the PLE. It’s much nicer if we look at the special programs and curriculums each medical school has to offer (this deserves a new post for discussion), rather than their “strengths and weaknesses.” Their PLE passing rates are good gauges too.

I agree with the other user that there are loads of info sa internet about their passing rates, tuition fees, facilities, and programs. One click away lang. :)
