- Planning to go into UPCM MD-PhD Program? Can't decide if you want to take MD-PhD? Or just want to know what MD-PhD in Molecular Medicine is? Here are insights on the program by an MD-PhD student.
Just like any program, MD-PhD in Molecular Medicine has its pros (aside from free tuition) and cons. Once you get into it, there is no turning back (or at least without consequences hehe). But what I am sure of is that MD-PhD is one hell of a ride!

Are International students with Bachelor's or Master's from their home country eligible for this MD-PhD program. I am from India and currently pursuing BSc Microbiology Hons(a 3 year degree).
Such creative videos you’ve on this channel. Just subscribed!
Wow exciting ng MD-PhD program!!! ^_^
Di ba?
aaaaa salamat po sa pag-inform about md-phd! matagal ko na po kasing dream magtrabaho sa field of medicine as a physician. however, as i grew up, i realized that i:
- couldn't actually imagine myself as a clinical physician full-time
- liked doing research enough to make it a career
kaso po wala akong alam about this program before. really thought that i should just choose one of them aaaaaa 😫
salamat po!! alam ko na yung pathway na makakafulfill sa weird interests ko haha. ur my savior 💖💖
New Subscriber here!! First of all I would like to commend your effort in making vlog about MD-PHD program possible and for being eloquent in explaining every detail continuously and for having an approachable aura the way you deliver yourself that engages the viewers to be interested in watching you and your content.
As an entrepreneurial student, my course isn't that related to natural or hard science but promotes solution making strategies to solve the unsolved problems occurring in the country that triggers the fuel of my passion implanted in the heart of mine to reach my dreams of being a physician-scientist one day. When I was young, I dreamt to be a scientist because I very much excel in science when I was in elem and I became best in science when I was grade 8 as my favorite subject is biology. When I was senior high, I became a STEM student wherein we conducted a science research. From then on, I knew that researches solve the unsolved mysteries of the smallest to largest organisms surrounding the earth and universe which enlightened the bewildered thoughts of what we just know to what is intended to be known.
If God's will, I hope He can permit me to pass UPCM's interview and requirements in becoming a MD-PHD student in order to collaborate my entrepreneurship learnings with medicine and applied health research in in making holistic solutions to the country's biggest underrated as well as unsolved problems and dig deeper to unknown scientific discoveries that can be a great help in developing advancements in healthcare system.
Thank you miss Jea, our future Filipino physician-scientist!!
Wow! Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comments! Your interest in research makes my heart happy as well! Knowing younger colleagues who are very inclined in research work makes me believe that the future of research in our country would be so promising!
Good luck in your career and hopefully we get to meet someday :)
@@JeaGitzie I hopefully get to meet you too one day :)
Yes! Me too!!! Study well and enjoy :) BTW, advanced Happy Valentines ☺️
Wow!! Ang galing mo ❤️ i love watching your vids gorl
Hahah omygas thank you! ♥️✌️🥰
@@JeaGitzie ang dami kong natutunan huhu and napawow talaga ako sa passion mo for research!! Solid hehehe
Aaawww :) Thank you! Sana mahalin rin ako ng research hahaha
just wow!!!!!! grabe!!!
Wow! Looks interesting!
Yes it really is interesting and challenging at the same time :)
Ang galing niyo naman pooo
Hahaha Thank you po! Pero magaling ka rin kasi nasa Med ka :)
Watching your vlog about MD-PhD program, So interesting! I love conducting various research on my own and currently I joined some departments for their researches. I hope I can have a wide range of conversation with you for me to be motivated to explore Molecular Medicine and I have a lot of questions for you on how to enter this prestigious field of study...
Sure! I am happy that you find our program interesting! I will try to answer your questions the best I can 😊
@@JeaGitzie I'm incoming 3rd year student taking Bachelor of Science in Food Technology, do I have a chance to be qualified to MD-PHD program?
When I read some news article about the MD-PhD, my interest in the field of Clinical research revive. I know how hard it is to study this particular program but my motivation to find solutions on our health care system revive as I see our latest condition, trough various research that might be the solution to improve our competence in the field of medicine.
Honestly, my interest in MD-PhD program disappeared when I found out that Basic Medical science degrees has a great advantage.
@Joren Mahusay I think you have a chance at this program since some researches also concentrate on food and probiotics affecting for example GI microbiota. If ever you make it to the interview, make sure that you really make a good impression though. However, the ultimate decision would still be on the committee. I am actually currently trying to make a vlog about this, and asking opinion from more reliable resource such as an alumni of the program who is currently part of the committee. Hopefully I could finish that vlog and that your question could be answered in that video 😊
@@JeaGitzie wow!! I can't wait for that next vlog po. Aabangan ko po talaga Yan ma'am. Maraming salamat Po, patuloy po akong magaabang sa Inyo tungkol sa MD-PHD program para mas Lalo pa akong mamotivate to proceed for it.🥰🥰🥰 Maraming maraming maraming salamat po.
@@JeaGitzie I'm hoping for a lot of vlogs that will answer my questions about
1.) Anong mga kurso ang may malaking advantage sa pagpasok sa MD-PHD
2.) May chance ba Ang BSFood Tech to be qualified for MD-PHD program?
3.) What are the requirements to be qualified for MD-PHD program?
4.) Kailangan ba mataas Ang NMAT Result like 95 pataas or at least 90 pataas.
Sana masali po itong mga tanong ko sa susunod niyong Vlog.
Maraming salamat po
Hi Ate! I've seen your vlogs and now I'm intrigued and interested to know more about the MD-PhD program. May questions lang po ako:
1. What kind of researches do MD-PhD students undertake? Like yung specifics?
2. Dapat po ba sustainable yung research or at least may tangible output yung researches?
Thank you so much for this eye-opening video. First time ko pong makakita ng MD-PhD vlog! More power and hoping to see you get those three stripes soon!!!
Hi! Thank you sa interest mo sa program heheh.
1. Iba iba talaga eh, depende sa research interest mo. Some do immunology studies (novel vaccines, B-cell/T-cell response, innate immune response studies), some cell cultures, some DNA studies, may iba hinahaluan ng bioinformatics, parasitology studies as well. Basta the research should be in line with the objectives of DOST-PCHRD, sufficiently molecular and had medical importance.
3. Pwede iba ibang topics per research na gagawin mo. Hindi naman need to continuous studies. Pero if nandun yung interest mo, no one is stopping you naman. Need to publication na ikaw ang primary author for you to graduate sa program, so yes, highly encourage na mag publish.
Thank you so much for watching my vlogs :)
Hi ate! I’m thinking of pursuing medicine after my undergrad. However my course isn’t health science related. I’ll be one of those people who is currently taking a non-trad pre med. Just interested to know if I still have a chance to join this program since I’m really interested in pursuing research as well, and this seems like a great opportunity 😀 Any advice would be great! Thank you!!
Yes! ☺️ although the program prefers basic sciences undergrad they do accept non trad undergrad. One of my seniors graduated education. So, yes! Try to pursue it if you are interested.
Hi ma'am, equivalent din po ba siya sa nag PhD sa Biochemistry or PhD in Biology with specialization in Molecular Science or molecular biology after MD? Thanks.
Hello doc, regarding the RSA of 8 years, can residency in a government owned hospital be counted as part of RSA?
Yes po. Counted po ang residency. Basta Pinas.
I wonder if non-traditional students have a chance..
Hello! Can the stipend support daily expenses + dorm/a place to stay in? If ever I get into UP especially the MD-PhD, my parents will be burdened by an eight-year long education. Huhuhuhu. Thank you, God bless!
Depending on the place that you got, shared dorm/condo around the area ranges from 5K-8K per month + utilities (water, electricity, net) ~ 1-2K per person (depende na lang sa tipid niyo). Then yung iba groceries, food, miscellaneous. I'd say kaya siya. SLR.
Hi! Thank you for creating this vlog. Ive been looking for someone to make a vlog about the MD-PhD program of UPCM for quite some time now :)) Usually kasi purely MD from different med schools yung topics ng most vlogs. I have a few questions lang regarding sa graduate research sa UPCM:
1. Do you have advisers in the MD-PhD program who also do research, or at least interested in biomedical engg or computational approach to health research?
2. Do you recommend the MD-PhD program (based on advisers/grad courses/laboratory etc) for those who are interested in applied health research instead of basic clinical research? I believe the PhD is in molecular medicine but does the program also cater research problems that are outside “molecular” medicine?
Thank you so much, and best of luck to your channel!
Thank you! It is delightful to see that a lot of you are genuinely interested in the MD-PhD program :).
1. The MD-PhD committee members (advisers) have varied research interests and are also open to other research fields. We have advisers who are in public health and thus knowledgable in biostat and epidemiology. We also have advisers who are very akin to computer programs and bioinformatics.
2. Since the focus of the program is in molecular medicine, most PhD courses would focus on the molecular side. However, the MD side would supplement the needed clinical knowledge which one could combine with that from the PhD courses. The laboratories in the department if I am not mistaken is being renovated right now to improve the facilities and it's capabilities. We also have the UP-NIH which we can also arrange to use. Admittedly, there are still a lot of room for improvement for the labs but we can work with it. This is also why some MD-PhD pursue their research abroad under the sandwich program. For the advisers, we must have a primary adviser from the committee but one can arrange to have an external adviser which could add help and expertise in one's chosen topic. The researches are also not limited to basic research alone. Sometimes done in partnership with PGH, MD-PhD students join applied researches as well e.g. recent Covid researches.
I hope I answered you question. Hope to see you in my next videos 😊
hello po, sa RSA bawal po ba mag take ng specialty/residency
Hi! Pwede :)
Musta nman po doc ang status ng UPCM sa PLE? Jst asking doc. Jst wanna knw. Thanx a lot po doc.
Last PLE, UPCM had 8 top notchers and 98.63% passing rate. I got the passing rate here: www.thesummitexpress.com/2020/11/results-november-2020-physician-board-exam-ple-performance-of-schools.html?m=1
Hello po ate! What if po hindi laude yung student despite being near uno po yung gwa nya dahil sa system ng undergrad uni nya? Eligible parin po ba sya magapply? Sana po pede parin huhuhuhuhu tyiaaa !🥺
whats the rationale of gettinf a doctor of medicine degree if you are aiming to dedicate your career in research. Hindi ba mas okay to get MS Molecular Medicine after an undergrad.
I personally do not plan to dedicate my career only to research as I also plan and want to practice as a physician, which I know is challenging in the Philippines. But you are right. If one is already sure at the time of choosing na research track talaga ang gusto niya as a career, then MS Mol Med is a good choice especially, di na niya need mag take up pa ng med courses and duties na alam naman na niya na di niya gusto i-practice. :)
Hello, po! I’m an upcoming Biology student at UP. I’m interested in MD-PhD, but I got shocked by how long you’ll have to study to graduate. The question is, can you take a job as a medical doctor after the traditional five years in medicine, or should you have to finish the 8-year program before taking the PLE and practice the profession po?
Thank you!
Hi! You have to finish the 8 year program before you can take a job. If ever you get to take the PLE even before graduating from the program, you are not supposed to moonlight. So yes, you really have to consider the length of the program and your personal goals.
Hi Doc may I ask what is ur premed and UPM din po kayo nag-aral for premed
@@ivanbuenzalida1899 UPM rin, BS Industrial Pharmacy
Hello ate! may I ask po, pwede po bang pagsabayin yung 2 years of research sa residency po after medicine?
btw great video po!!
Thank you!
For your question, no. Kailangan mo muna tapusin yung 2 years (dissertation) before ka grumaduate and maging eligible for residency application.
@@JeaGitzie thank you po!!!❤️
Hello doc, question lng, how about PLE? pwede na mag PLE ang MD-PhD after internship kahit hindi pa tapos ang 2yrs of dissertation? Curious lang. haha thanks 🤣
Sorry doc hindi pa po super settled. Wala pa po akong latest update :)
I assume na graduates of BS MedTech are eligible to take MD-Ph.D. kasi they are heavy in lab and biochemistry. Do you think so, po? Thank you!
Yes very much 😃
Hello, Ate Jea! Good day. Gusto ko po sanang magtanong if yung chances na makapasok sa program ang mga future MD-PhD applicants, coming from non-UP universities, are lower compared to those who completed their Bachelor's in UP? Is BS Nursing an "okay" course to take prior to applying to the said program? Thank you po! I am a big fan of your vlogs🥰
Hi! Sorry late reply. Not really sure sa stats nito pero basta pasok sa requirements for the program, hindi naman sila nag didiscriminate ng undergrad school. Very okay ang BS Nursing :)
Salamat!
@@JeaGitzie Thank you po, ate!
Hello madam sa biochemistry po ba pinakafocus yang MD-PhD? yung honest opinion po need talaga average or above average person po ba dyan o pang matalino ? at puro computations po ba yan
Di po puro biochem. Marami pong molecular subjects, genetics, molecular building blocks. May mga stats rin po and laboratory subjects.
Need po na cum laude sa undergrad and incoming freshman sa UP med para ma consider po for the program. I guess po depende po sa drive ninyo mag aral para maka survive. Challenging po siya, so if average or above average, mas ma effort dapat kesa kapag matalino.
Hello, ate! I am also planning to apply to the MD-PhD program next year. Tanong ko lang po, enough po ba yung stipend per month for food and dorm sa UPM? Also, are they strict with the "at least cum laude" requirement? I am graduating po from UPD with a GWA of 1.65 pero di po ako gagraduate with latin honor since nag underload po ako dati. Thank you po and stay safe! :)
Hello! Yas, enough naman ang stipes. Pero strict sila sa latin honors. Although pero mo pa rin i-try, iko-cobtact ka naman nila if okay lang sa kanila yung case mo.
@@JeaGitzie thank you po!
Hi pwede po bang pumasok sa UPCM kapag galing po sa ibang university? Thanks po
Yes! :) Apply ka lang :)
Is this a separate program from the regionalization program of UPCM?
Yes this is a separate program. You should apply as a normal lateral entrant to be able to then apply for MD-PhD. :)
@@JeaGitzie Do you know anyone who can get into UP and then get the MD-PhD program with a 91 PR from the NMAT? I'm also an Educ grad. I think my chances are slimming.
We have a higher batch who is an educ grad. As for the NMAT score, as far as I know as long as you passed UPCM it would have little bearing when you apply to the program. If you have good grades in undergrad and you ace the interview, then there is still a chance that you be admitted to CM. Apply lang :)
Hiii! Pwede po ba magapply for MD Phd if you didnt graduate from a UP Campus? If so, meron bang difference sa length of program if hindi ka UP grad? Hope you answer, thank you!!!!
Hi!!! :) Yes pwede even non-UP undergrad basta satisfied ang eligibility requirements. Same lang ang length for all :)
Yeyyy, thank you! Dream course huhuhu
hi.cool content, questions: 1.) why do you pronounce it die-ssertation? is it because you die after? is this an inside joke? 2.) is(are) a publication(s) a prequisite to graduation? 3.) do u still have to pay tuition? thanks 😊
Hi! Thank you! Hahaha. 1. Not really an inside joke for the whole MD-PhD community but yes, I think I'll die after hahaha. 2. Sarting Batch 7 (the batch after us) they required a publication with the candidate as primary author as prerequisite for grad. 3. No, the tuition is already paid for by DOST- PCHRD for us ☺️
@@JeaGitzie haaaay eto na naman ang UP..pa.andar na naman sa mga publication..as if. well so long as they DON'T require a publication in high impact factor journals.if okay na in the likes of Phil Sci Lett hahaha...anyways..good luck and hope u come with a worthwhile research 😊...and yeah..dont die...its just a /di-suh-tei-shn/..stress on the third syllable
Hello po ☺️ aspiring MD-PhD po ako. Gusto ko lang mag ask if pwedi ba akong mag apply sa regionalization program at MD-PhD program? Thanks po. Btw, i love ur vid.
Hi! Thank you :)
As far as I know, hindi ka pwede mag apply as RP if you want to apply for MD-PhD. Dapat as Regular Lateral Entrant ang entry mo sa UPCM. :)
@@JeaGitzie i see. Thank u po. So super tight pala ang competition 😭 pero sige try parin
Yes, try mo lang. After all pasado ka na naman na for UPCM before ka maconsider for MD-PhD. Yun nga lang, weigh mo talaga if mas gusto mo RP or MD-PhD :)
Good luck! :)
Kahit po ba during medicine proper ay may stipend pa rin po?
@@rysthanjamespenano8795 Yes po. Buong program.
@@JeaGitzie whoa grabe po! About naman po don sa research na need i-publish every year, is that for a lifetime po ba? Hehe
@@rysthanjamespenano8795 for the duration of your return service :)
Sayang pangarap ko yang program na yan kaso di ako umabot sa Cum Laude 😔
Sorry to hear that po. Kahit naman hindi makapasa sa program, you can definitely still do medical research. You can still reach out to doctor/research mentors to guide you and possibly help you with projects in mind. Also, we have an organization "UP-Physician Scientist Association" that you can join if ever mag UP med ka :). Also, marami rin iba bang opportunities for scholarship during and after med kahit di MD-PhD :)
@@JeaGitzie thank you Miss Jea and good luck sa MD-PHD program mo... 😊
I just want to clarify po, free po ba lahat tuitions as well as the Ph.D. program?
Yes po. All covered by the scholarship program as long as you are not delayed :)
Another thing po, it's not possible po ba to finish MD (5 years) muna before proceeding to Ph.D. in Mol Medicine (yung 3 years)? Thank you!
As far as I know, nope. The program talaga is set na 1 year PHD courses first before med proper. 🙂
Thank you!
Hi ma'am, equivalent din po ba siya sa nag PhD sa Biochemistry or PhD in Biology with specialization in Molecular Science or molecular biology after MD? Thanks.
Hi! I believe so. I am not sure about sa curriculum nung 2 PhDs that yiu mentioned pero yes, PhD talaga ang cpunting sa PhD part ng program just that isa lang ang graduation so you get one diploma for both.
