How Long Does It Take To Be A Doctor In The Philippines? || DoktAURA

The Road to MD - How long does it take to be a doctor in the Philippines?
A must watch video for aspiring doctors. The steps to becoming a physician is not always the same in every country. In the Philippines, this is the minimum:
- 4 years pre-med / college
- 4 years med school
- 1 year internship
- Physician Licensure Exams
- 3-5 years residency
- 2-3 years fellowship

#TheRoadtoMD i found you at this time when my daughter and I are seriously thinking, researching,planning, praying and dreaming about what she will take up in College. She's very good in Math so our likely choice would be Engineering. But my daughter grew up watching the family take care of her sickly grandmother, my own Mother and I saw her natural inclination to research on signs and symptoms of any medical condition in our family. In my heart of hearts, I think my daughter can become a doctor too. I just need to support it with research of my own as she's still 16. BUT Science is the bottom 3 of her top subjects, with Math and English as the top 2. I'm excited to watch more of your videos and share it with her too. Thanks for this Doc!

I am currently taking up BS Nursing and planning on proceeding to Med however napaisip ako bigla noon na nakakatamad at nakakapagod sa haba at sa laki ng oras na kailangan mong iinvest(not to mention the cost of med school na din). I am glad that I watched your vlog. It really got me. Thank you for sharing the quote by Earl Nightingale. It was really inspiring. Nakahanap po ako ng bagong mantra na dadalhin ko starting now. Your vlog's content is really inspiring. I know I wasn't the only one who got inspired, but also other students like me who's still doubting whether to pursue Med or not.

That was really inspiring!!! I graduated this year, I doesn't know that somehow I could made it. It is a bit of a long run when your taking a pre-med course! A 5 year life and death situation but hey finally. Supposedly, I will be continuing to med school but waves doesn't have single forms they are way too different from each other. So I ended up with none (NO license) I have nothing YET! The good thing is... there is this quote GOD'S PLAN IS WAY BETTER THAN YOUR DREAMS! Hopefully to continue study and earn my license abroad someday! Road to DPT #inspire

[@ysabelaarce2319]

it will be extremely difficult, but if you can improve then it might be possible

[@lesliejaneang516]

I would say, yes. Marami akong kilala na hindi naman talaga MATALINO pero they are now doctors. The human brain works really amazing, its capacity to store knowledge is unlimited, you just have to know how to utilize it. Pero di ko sinasantabi ang other factors of tendency to forget. Hindi lang naman kasi patalinohan ang medicine, it also needs more of determination and will to survive. Aanhin mo yung talino kung tamad ka naman magbasa. Kasi lahat ng mai-encounter mo sa field of medicine eh bago sayo or bago sainyong lahat na aspiring doctors. Hindi uso dun ang stock knowledge. Kaya read, read, and read. Fighting!!!

All pre med course (pwede naman non-pre med basta may science units ka) is 4 years talaga unless kung mag eenroll ka sa school na tri-sem kasi iikli yung taon ng pag aaral pero walang pahinga dun, kahit summer may pasok pa din.

apply in state universities po or government public colleges. the tuition there is either free or mas cheap. i think hindi ka makakapag working student kung magt-take ng medicine course kasi kailangan nito na nakafocus ka talaga at masyadong tight ang schedule. so work hard right now na makakuha ka ng good grades po para masecure mo yung spot mo sa mga universities after highschool :)
