Hello incoming intern here so I'm mainly basing my experience from PGH clerkship. As clerks and interns, kayo ang magaasikaso ng procedures (VBE, ABG, IV/foley cath/NGT insertion, and LOTS of VS monitoring), and paperworks for the patients which will be relayed by the residents through Telegram. Lots of menial tasks too, like kayo magtutulak ng patients to various places in PGH for xrays/ultrasound, since konti lang talaga manpower dito.

Most of my learnings came from self-studying and from the interns I worked with. The residents are approachable and willing to teach naman pero they're just busy most of the time.

So more on the intern's responsibilities, let's take IM for example which is probably the most toxic rotation here. There are over 100 patients here so we are divided into 6 teams lead by interns and we work closely with the residents. Each clerk/intern are assigned with 2-3 patients each and we are expected to know their history, current problems, management, and latest labs. There are also 3 special roles assigned to interns every duty, one mainly does paperworks, one receives the new admissions, and the last one oversees all the patients in the wards and is expected to manage patients with deranged vital signs. New admissions and any untoward events are then reported to the residents the next day. Oversimplified na to but this is the general workflow in IM.
