This is the dream that I want since I was a kid. I do really want to be a Doctor, not because of profession but I want to serve to those doctorless area in Philippines. Wish ko lang pa lang napanuod ko na po kayo Doc and na-inspire po talaga ako ng over over! ☺ Gusto ko talagang matapos pag-aaral ko. Para makapag-serve din ako sa country natin. Senior High pa lang ako, kaya sana matapos ko at makapag Med School din.

[@DoctorDalvie]

Hi Khuya Jhem! I am sure matutupad mo ang DREAM mo na maging Doctor. Sure na sure ako dyan! Over na over! :) Mag-aral kang mabuti para magqualify ka sa mga scholarships for College. Then pag dating sa med school, balikan mo lang ang vlogs ko on DOH Scholarship. :)

Dr Dalvie, can you answer this questions. Can you practice patient care WITHOUT RESIDENCY like a primary health care provider in the barrio?

[@carmellaandreamalimban4127]

ABM po ako ngayon pero gusto ko parin po mag Doctor sa College kahit anong mangyari. Alam ko po na mahirap kasi ABM strand ko po ngayon pero nandoon po yung pagka desidido ko lalo na at ang mag stay dito sa Pilipinas. Na magstay dito at tumulong sa sariling bayan. Tapos sa ibang bansa tumulong din sa nangangailangan pero magtatrabaho parin dito sa sariling bansa at uunahin ang sariling bansa.

[@ashssb8281]

Hi Doctor Dalvie thank you for this video. Im planning to apply for DTTB, but since im a graduate of online clerkship and half of my internship was also online I am not that confident with my clinical skills, can you recommend us trainings that will prepare us for DTTB? Thank you so much. I hope you’ll be able to answer my question. God bless po.

Hi Doc! Is DTTB can be counted as practice training if I pursue Family Med Residency in a government hospital? Like, mababawasan ba ang years of residency from my DTTB work experience? Tyia *disclaimer: I’m an incoming med student pa lang po but trying to make plans na for the future.

Doc, thanks for this video. Online PGI here, haha! And DTTB is one of my plans for the near future. Video suggestion po, can you share us your thoughts on the possible impact of the online clerkship and internship on DTTB program. How critical are the skills earned during these training periods on being DTTB. or how DTTB are being prepared before they actually go into their assigned places. Thank you, Doc!

THANK YOU Sky for the kind words. Much appreciated! Sky, alam mo until now, minsan may mga moments na natatakot akong gawin ang mga ilang bahay ng gusto ko talagang gawin. But I always remind myself that we have a LOVING and POWERFUL God. :) Hindi magiging madali ang journey towards becoming a doctor, but it will be WORTH IT in the end. Hindi ko sinasabing pahirapan mo ang sarili mo. Sa journey ng pagiging doctor, maraming challenges ang darating. BUT, do NOT GIVE UP. :) Hindi ka nag-iisang natatakot. Lakasan mo loob mo Sky! I believe in you!!! So believe in the Lord and believe in what He has given you. :) I am sure you will be a doctor one day. God bless you Sky! See you one day and see you in our next Vlog!

May medschools kasi na they require you a number of units in Science, depende kung anong program you took during college. If walang req units, mas okay pero still needs to take NMAT exam before entering medschool.
