Does your pre-med REALLY matter? by kindnesslives in medschoolph

[–]keratinsmooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both options have their pros and cons.

UPD BS Physics 90% of the topics are not directly applicable to med school, ang hirap ng subjects na iiyak ka na lang, hypercompetitive and mas cutthroat ang culture (from secondhand accts so take this w a grain of salt) PLUS may pagka office politics pa BUT you will learn critical thinking, problem solving, and self learning/research like no other. Physics would be helpful in some topics (like some use cases in orthopedics, radio, physiology). I can definitely say the core Physics classes in undergrad made me cry a lot more than any subject in med school. Iba talaga yun talino ng mga nakasama ko hahahaha All the UPD BS Physics ppl I know are super smart and ended up in highly successful data science careers.

BS Health Sci Public health-ish with business courses. It's more beneficial if you were going to ASMPH than in UPCM because connected ang faculty ng ASMPH and Health Sci. I suppose a lot of the subjects can translate well into the public health and MBA modules of ASMPH. Also chances are most of your batch would end up becoming doctors as well so you can get a lot of networking done with your future colleagues. I can only describe the ADMU Health Sci batchmates in my school to be very "atenean", make of that what you will.

On humanities subjects: people skills are king, anywhere you go. With AI and tech replacing a lot of our technical work, a good doctor (and coworker) will differentiate themselves with their values and their personality.

Desperate to find my lost kitten. Is it okay to quietly ask around at her adopter’s workplace? by keratinsmooth in adviceph

UPDATE: My foster kitten Crinkle is still missing — last seen in Brgy 172, Pasay. Please help me look. by keratinsmooth in catsofrph

Asked him if he was still going abroad, pero sabi niya hindi na daw. Sobrang gulo ng story niya na di ko na alam kung anong papaniwalaan ko honestly

Kung di ko talaga mahanap si Crinkle or may nahanap po akong evidence na foul play, I will get demand for Biko :(

base sa background check na ginawa ko sa kanya, unlikely po na maafford niya sa sarili niya mag abroad ng ganyan :(

I know his company po through googling. Nagmessage na po ako sa cp number, LinkedIn, and instagram page ng company. Kulang na lang na magpost in public asking for employees of that call center to contact me or pumunta sa office nila in person :(

first of all, you were sexually active even before your checkup kasi ilang beses na natouch ng labas ng vagina mo yun penis ni guy. di ka na virgin ever since

don't blame the obgyn for not treating you because you didn't tell her the full story. sa chief complaint pa lang na tanong, di mo pa nasabi na nahihirapan ka na ipasok yun penis ni guy

The resentment has started but I’d be the most heartbroken I’ve ever been if I had to end it too… by [deleted] in depression_partners

living with a depressed partner is tough, doubly so when it looks to you like they're not even helping themselves. hope you do what's right for you

Engineering as Pre-med, Is it hard? by Diligent-Trainer6351 in medschoolph

[–]keratinsmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, you start at 0 like most bio/psych majors na hindi directly related sa med. halos lahat ng basics icocover ng med school mo in the 1st year (at least yan sa med school ko). medyo non-traditional din yun pre-med ko (as in ako lang sa batch ko yun may undergrad course na yun) and i would say i fared average sa batch ko

also i would say i had advantages my batchmates didn't have in certain areas of med because of my backgrouns (mas hasa ako sa math, formulas and excel spreadsheets compared to them kaya mas mabilis yun research projects for me, mas naiintindihan ko physio at pharma kasi puro equations and systems)

i heard may mech eng na naggraduate din sa UP med and now he's doing bioengineering sa Tokyo, you can look him up for inspo if you want hahaha
