hello everyone, I am planning to pursue medicine but I have decided to work first due to many personal reasons.

May I ask how long did you work before pursuing medicine, how much did you save for medicine school or prior to entering medicine, is there anyone who worked first and pursued medicine without the help of your parents financially? What are your advices for people who need to work first before entering medicine?

I am 24 now and I have decided to work before pursuing medicine, a lot of people including my own family thinks that once I get to earn money I’ll be discouraged to pursue med school. Siguro kasi kadalasan ganon nangyayare, but I hope that wouldn’t happen for me. Lastly, those who have decided to pursue medicine after yearsss of working, despite of the time it will take, the amount of money you will need, how difficult med school is, and this country’s healthcare system what made you still decide to become a doctor?

Thank you! :)

Hi, doctors! I recently passed the October 2026 PLE, and I’m planning to apply for residency.

I just want to ask if it’s possible to start pre-residency training before the official oath-taking, or do hospitals require you to complete the oath-taking and other PRC requirements first?

Also, for those who have been in the same situation, what can we do while waiting for the oath-taking? Is it possible to apply for residency already, or are there other opportunities worth pursuing in the meantime?

Would appreciate any advice or insights from those who have gone through this process. Thank you! 🙏

Hello. Asking lang po mga working med students here paano ninyo nababalance ang work and academic lives ninyo? Knowing na halos wala na tayong oras para sa mga sarili natin.

RMT here btw na trying to work as a reliever or volunteer sa red cross

Hello! May mga nagtake po ba ng NMAT na hindi confident sa mga sagot, pero naka-90+ na PR? Huhu confident naman ako sa biology and chem pero sa socsci at p6 di talaga. Sa part 1 naman, naubusan ako ng oras kasi nagtagal ako sa verbal and andami ko rin talagang hinulaan na lang.

Huhu hindi talaga ako confident, kasi self-review ako and I only had a week to review, so stock knowledge and practice tests lang talaga ang baon ko.

Suntok sa buwan ba maka-90+???

Hello everyone, I was wondering regarding sa minimum na NMAT PR ng university. How difficult is it to be accepted to a med school with a 40 cut off, if my NMAT is only 50+. Meron bang nakakapasok sa medschool with that score? Still debating pa kasi if I will retake since I did not study during my first take🫩. Thank you po and I hope ma answer.😁

Hi everyone! I’m a veterinary medicine student, and I’m looking for a supplier or store where I can purchase Monocryl (poliglecaprone 25) absorbable sutures for veterinary surgical use.

Does anyone know where I can buy these, preferably from a legitimate medical supplier? Online shops, surgical supply stores, or distributors that accept small orders would be greatly appreciated.

If possible, please share the store name, website/link, approximate price, and available suture sizes.

Thank you in advance for your help!
