[@kReXaJs2]

Gaano po kahirap mag apply for PGI sa VLuna po?

[@kuyashane172]

After internship, pwede po ba mag apply na General Practitioner sa V. Luna? Mag undergo rin ba ng training as a military doctor or pang residents lang po yung military training? Thank you.

[@Jojo-lh7lc]

Hi Doc advantage po ba yung nag Advance ROTC during undergrad at currently P2LT pag nag apply ng PGI or residency sa V.Luna? How about pag Commissioned Officer ka na sa AFP Reseve Force either through Advance ROTC or as Licensed professional such as RN or RPT prior entering med school, exempted ka na ba sa nabanggit na Military Training in a Technical Field at diretso residency na? Salamat

[@ALpagador]

Hello po doc, thank you for the info on this topic! I'm interested in joining the medical corps as well via application sa camp aguinaldo. To whom ko po kaya iaaddress ang letter of intent of application? Nakalagay lang po kasi is "Chairperson TASPSB". Maraming salamat po!

[@marianne561]

Actually wala Med School ang AFP.. Meron lang Post Graduate Internship and Residency Training..

[@Akksksjekalalalala1]

Sir meron po bang military trauma surgeon?

[@DocRome]

yup!

[@tylerskyedee5820]

Hi doc, aspiring military MD here, just wanted to ask what kinds of military schooling can doctors in the AFP attend?

[@higheyrie6176]

Hello! The AFP particularly VLuna Medical Center, offers residency programs including general surgery, anesthesia, pediatrics and the like. In addition, active duty medical corps officers can qualify for non-medical schoolings like airborne, scout ranger, aeromed, dive surgeon etc. In addition, there are career schoolings, (basic, advance, GSC) that are required for promotion which augments the medical corps officer's leadership, management and administrative skills.

[@rocklee1764]

@@higheyrie6176 do they also have radio, ophtha and psychiatry po?

[@higheyrie6176]

@@rocklee1764 yes they have! Visit their respective fb pages to know more from them esp the training programs! 😄

[@earljohnpaulamores8092]

Hello doc, I would like to ask if there are other institution outside metro manila that offers military doctor training/residency? Particularly in Visayas. Thank you po doc

[@marianne561]

Most of our Military Doctors have their residency at V Luna… There are few who are allowed to take their residency training outside V Luna.. Usually mga training that is not available in V Luna they allow them to have their residency outside V Luna… Some examples are Rehab Medicine, Plastic Surgery, Dermatology etc.. During Subspecialty Training they usually send Military Doctors in other institutions that offer the chosen Subspecialty…

[@acemarcelo4587]

doc, may i ask if u’re already a military nurse but u want to pursue medicine, is it allowed to take med school while working?

[@DocRome]

malabo. full time talaga ang med school sir

[@marianne561]

actually kailangan mong mag leave or mag resign before pursuing medicine. Like one of our IM Resident she used to be a Military Nurse (NURSE CORPS) she left the service then after becomming a Lisence Physician she reentered the Service

[@johnkennethsuarez7259]

Ang military doctor ba pwede mag undergo ng schooling for navy seal o scout ranger?

[@tristansalagoste4486]

Sabi sakin depende daw may different types of medic ang each branch ng military eh.

[@RSHaru-ry2rz]

Hello Po doc incoming g-11 sh tanong ko lang po Kung mag military doctor ka pero yung kukunin mong strand HUMSS? SANA MA NOTICE MO PO DOC🥺

[@hangesglasses9603]

hellooo! i'd like to share lang may opinion for this, as i am a shs graduate na nag-take ng humss and proceeded to take a premed course ngayong college. okay lang mag-take ng kahit anong strand sa shs, even if hindi iyon aligned sa kukunin mong college program BUT it still depends sa patakaran ng school kasi may iba na if you want to take premed, dapat stem graduate ka. in my case, ni-recommend sa akin ng registrar na mag-stem na lang since nalaman nila during my enrollment na magta-take ako ng premed pero hindi naman required. still, nag-humss pa rin ako. sa experience ko, kapag gusto mo mag-doctor, mas okay na mag-take ng stem kasi mas immersed talaga sila sa mga life sciences-unlike humss na social sciences. malaki rin kasi advantage ng stem graduates kapag magta-take ng premed course kasi may mga basics na sila kahit papano sa biology, chemistry, etc. pero kaya pa rin naman kahit humss, mangangapa nga lang siguro lalo na kapag ang premed is biology, nursing, medtech, and mga ganun. and with hardwork naman, i believe makakaya mo 'yun. ayun lang. sana nakatulong somehow.

[@poomwarrior6037]

May height limit po ba ang pagiging military doctor?

[@servantleader07]

Please visit V Luna FB page for details :)

[@minranda3974]

Anong criteria mostly kapag magmatching for PGI po? Paano po kapag nabagsak sa isang subject, may chance pa din po ba na mamatch sa hospital og choice? Like V. Luna. Isa rin kasi sa aking choice ang pagiging Military Doctor Thank you po and God bless. P.s.: I really appreciate your videos
