U.S. Residency after Medschool in the Philippines

- 🌟Here's a real brief explanation on the process you need to take in order to go from attending medical school in the Philippines to doing residency in the United States. There are more to the process and this is just a short overview of it.
And I forgot to say that there are interviews after the ERAS application, before getting matched to a residency program.

You don't have to apologize, your a medical student and the people that watch your VLOG should understand your very busy. I think it's very kind that your sharing your experience. Others with medical school student Vlog's have sponsors, your VLOG is better than most and should get some sponsors. I personally like your VLOG for the reason that you actually talk on Medicine. This is what I like to view: medical school textbooks used and the person studying and reading out loud. Possibly summarizing the class lectures and readings out loud. Some other medical students talk of everything else. I'm an older student and I'm thinking of going to a Caribbean or Philippine medical school. My first wife is a physician and I know some of the difficulties of medical school etc... The amount of reading in the first two years is incredible. I think high yield books is the only way to go. I'm studying and reading all the time and have questions with no person to ask. Example is Dubin's rapid interpretation of EKG's. It's a great book but I don't feel confident yet. What are your thoughts? Why did you choose the Philippines over the Caribbean? Your undergraduate degree is from the States. Some of the schools in the Caribbean are at a 99% pass rate but, I'm worried on the attrition rate which most don't want to comment on.
Hi Thomas! Sorry I didn't get to answer your questions yet. I'll get back to all your questions next week once our load is a little less. Thanks for understanding! Get back to you soon. :)
Here's a question for next week I'm trying to master EKG's (ECG in Some Communities) Is there a book yo can recommend. I have Dubin's Rapid interpretation of EKG's, which is great I'm half way through but' I need another source to test my knowledge, Some person recommended the Author John R. Hampton " The ECG Made Easy" and another Mary M. Canobbio "Cardio Vascular Disorders Vol don't know.. 1" Any recommendations we don't have any medical bookstore in NYC any long I know it's sad. Some person said Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons had a medical bookstore but, I don't know it's all the way up near the George Washington Bridge. Take your time in responding I have a interview info session with Ross University School of Medicine at the famous Intercontinental Hotel in New York City at the beautiful Time Square location. The area now is all owned by Disney. I love Mickey Mouse. See you later alligator.
I chose the Philippines because the tuition fee is a lot cheaper here and since I'm already familiar with the language and culture here (because I grew up here). But yes, majority of students from the carribean go to U.S. after their studies, so the carribean might be a better choice for you
As for medical textbooks, I think you can just order on amazon. It's all there most of the time. Plus, you'll learn all the other things once you are in medschool, so no need to worry about it now since you'll eventually learn them all from your professors. They'll also be the ones to recommend the books good for those reviews
Thanks, for the reply. The Caribbean schools look attractive but, I'm really attracted to East Asian and Philippine women. I'm single again. I have to study and I probably won't have much time for dating but, I'm human and have needs like every other person. I'd like to find an intelligent beautiful wife. I was married to a Philippine woman here in the United States for five years. I brought her son here after we where married. She is very nice but, we where broken up, politics. I also know some other people from the Philippines from college and from work. There very nice people. The Philippine nurses have a outstanding reputation, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, caring in the US. I just love them. I don't know Tagalog am I going to have a problem? I don't now how I'd react to the diet. I do buy the products marked Philippines to help my friends there and don't have a problem. Del Mounte in the Philippines has sent some fantastic quality to the US. Some of the other companies are doing really good like with the mangoes. In addition, did you know the Philippines is the second largest supplier of coconut products in the world. I'm also a vegetarian am I going to have a problem? My friend Pablo's wife was a pharmacist in the Philippines and it took her a long time to pass the test and finish a residence in the United States (US) but, she did have raise her children. I'd like to do clerkships (3rd and 4th years) like the Caribbean medical schools in the US is that possible. The Philippine people are so beautiful, don't you agree.
Thanks for a concise presentation. However, from a practical stand point residency prorams are looking for IMG candidates that have completed that have completed the 3 Steps of USMLE.
Supa HELPFUL, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!;)
Glad it helped!
Thank you! This has been really helpful. ❤🙏😇
Kumsta maganda
Very informative, thank you!
Besides getting into additional clinical rotations in the US & getting satisfactory grades in the USMLE, what other factors might help put IMGs in a better position considering that they are in fact at a disadvantage to enter residency and increase chances of getting matched/accepted?
I hope you do get my point and i apologize for how my question is constructed. I still lack knowledge on this paricular area. And if you have time or plans on your next video , might you consider steps on applying for additional clinical rotations in the US?
Hey! Sorry for the late reply. If you are still aiming for US, then research experience, leadership experience, extracurriculars can help. But USMLE score is still a big factor. FYI STEP 1 will turn into a pass/fail exam by 2022.
In terms of clinical rotations in the US, there are many ways to apply for it. And you can do it as an elective in your internship year. Hopefully if travel bans are lifted by the time you are an intern. And yes, US clinical rotations can definitely help with your residency applications as well. Some get their recommendation letters from the consultants they meet during their clinical rotation in US.
Hope these help! :)
Does philippine graduate can give plab (UK) any idea po 😌
@@internghimiredornacharya892 yes philippine graduate can take the PLAB :)
Just subscribed. This is amazing. How did you prep for the USMLE?
Thanks for your post very helpful
Nursing po akong kukunin kong pre-med dito sa PH, want ko po maging doctor sa USA. Ano po ang mga kailangan kong gawin after i graduate nursing po?
First learn American English, make syre your papers are correct, clean and you don't have any legal problems. You have to have at least 1 year residency (Rotating Internship in my days) Pass the ECFMG before you can be considered for a placement. After you passed the ECFMG, done with your PGY-1 (Post Graduate Year one), check whatever other requirements before applying for State Board Exam. Set your plans to whatever you want to do. Can't be wishy washy. Aim high and shoot for the stars. Make plans on what you want to do, not change to nursing, be prepared for little drawbacks or failures.
Thank you for the information.. I am planning to take Medicine in the Philippines too.. coz I am a filipino citizen and canadian citizen.. I am just afraid for the residency matching process.. we have step 1 and step 2 too for the MCCEE (canadian version of USMLE)..
Just some questions..
1. why did you consider Philippines over the schools in Carribean? They say it is better there.
2. Do I have to go to Prestigious medical school in the Philippines? like your school now.. thanks
Hope you become a doctor. God Bless :)
Hi there! We actually do have a guy in our school who's from Canada. I'm just not sure what his plans are after medschool here. But to answer your questions:
1. Tuition fee here in the Philippines is a lot cheaper than tuition fees in the Carribean. Also, I grew up in this country, so I am more familiar with the culture, language, and the people here.
2. You don't have to go to a prestigious school if that's not essentially your goal. As long as you work hard in your school, do well, study really hard for your future patients, and pass the licensing exams to receive the medical license, it should be okay. :)
Hope my answers are helpful! Good luck to you and your endeavors! :)
thank you!
Mikko Lodeon I m too confused in the same question ...whether i should join carreb country for bachleor degree or phillipines college keeping USMLE in mind?? carribean countries agents r saying that they teach in according to USMLE syllabus so its easy for students to crack the exam..While i m also stuck in phillipines " our lady of fatima university" that should i join this ,will it help me in USMLE?? Hoping for ur early reply .....And may u be a vry succeaful doctor
In canada there are limited number of residency available for IMG.. I think 400 position per year.. the IMG applicants are 2000plus.. so whether you are from Carribean, Poland, Russia, or Philippines.. 90% chance of a mismatch.. If I failed, I can practice in the PHilippines without a debt..
Sarang Choi you must be really rich! Ateneo's 500k/sem is not cheap at all.
Hello...i have a question.... When can i go for clinical rotations and when i need to take step 3..after my clinical rotation or before the rotation ?
That's entirely up to you and your projected timeline! You can take step 3 either before or after your rotation. The order doesn't really matter.
안녕하세요! 저도 미국에서 현재 공부하고있는데 학비문제때문에 필리핀으로 medschool을 지원하는것을 생각해보고있는와중에 비디오가 너무 도움이 많이되었어요 감사합니다:)~ 저는 undergrad을 psychology를 전공하고있는데 그러면 medical school입학할때에 준비할것들이 있지않나요? UP홈페이지를 확인해보니 학점과 nmat에 관련된 이야기만 언급이되있더라구요. 학교에 메일을 보내기전에 우선 이렇게 물어보는것이 더 현실적인 도움이될것같아 글남겨봐요ㅠ premed가 아닌사람들은 어떻게 준비하는것이 좋은가요?
안녕하세요! 사실 제가 다음으로 올릴 예정인 비디오가 requirements to apply to medschools in the Philippines 이기는 한데요, 미리 알려드리자면, 대체적으로 you need the following:
1. BA degree with prerequisite courses (biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, etc.)
2. Transcript of Records from college
3. Official NMAT score
4. Application form provided by the medical school
5. Application Fee
6. Birth Certificate/Photocopy of passport/2X2 photo
7. Certificate of good moral character/police clearance/proof of financial support
8. One time Endowment fee of 10,000USD if a foreigner
대충 이정도 준비하시면 되고 또 각 학교 마다 요구하는 것이 다르기도 해서 그 학교 requirement 에 따라 또 준비하시면 됩니다~!
Hope this helps! If you do have more questions, don't hesitate to ask! :)
Sarang Choi Hi mam ...How is " our lady of fatima university" If i join that will they help me in preparing for USMLE program...And some one also told me that this college has a lot and lot of students in BS program ...And after NAMT exam they throw majority of the students out...and how much marks i need to score in NMAT to do MD from phillipines??....thank u ...
What if po tapos na mag residency and planning to work in US? Need pa po ba yung USMLE?
Yes you need to take the USMLE exams even if you finished residency in the Phils!
What if you're an intarmed po?
Intarmed only has 6 years and combined na yung under grad at med school so how do i do my usmle steps?
I don't think you are planning to take the PRC licensure examination for physicians right?
How can I check whether my university is approved by ECFMG?
Ukraine...
You can search on the ECFMG website! :)
do you get paid while doing a residency in the US?
Yes of course! :))
We are in chicago and my daughters wanted to go med school in the Philippines. I was told it would be very difficult to avail a resudency spot in the US if you are a foreign Grad from the Philippines is that true?
Hi! Read through the first section of this pdf:
firstaidteam.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/first-aid-step-1-2017-section-i-supplement.pdf
The pdf shows statistics and scores.
IMG refers to International Medical Graduates - those who studied medicine outside of USA whether a citizen or not :) Hope this helps clarify things! :)
from where i should know that my school in philippines is accredited or not by united states ?
also how do you pay for med school in the Philippines?
with money
Pwede na po bang mag apply ng doctor after ng pharmacy licensure exam?
Apologies po sa late reply. You mean medschool application po? Kailangan nyo po mag take ng NMAT exam :)
hi :) at what year did you start the USMLE process? i heard that you can start as early as 2nd year med school
Hi Shereen! :) I started using Pathoma lecture videos starting 2nd year along with my school lectures (was really helpful), but didn't start intentionally reviewing for the exam till 3rd year. But yes, you can definitely start early into your medschool years :)
Hello Doc! I'm from a newly opened medschool in the phils. Our college is still only less than 10 years old. Do you think po I stand a chance in getting certified?
Try checking on the ECFMG website if your school is listed! It might help :) My school was less than 10 years old too when I enrolled. Many of my seniors were still able to secure residency in the US. So check on ECFMG website if your school qualifies :)
Hello ma'am I have some doubts about usmle I am studying medicine in cebu,Philippines.
Please can u tell me when should i start to prepare for it because as we have 4 year med - school here so I guess we don't get time for preparing for it because we have half days goet in school and other times to reading, assignment and all etc as you know because u r a senior so it it okay to start preparing for it during internship or after that???
I am actually thinking to prepare like that for now in 1 st year I just want to clear my concepts and buid the basics so is it okay to do like that?
Thank you please do replay. Thank you😊😇
Hi po, sa Philippines po ba pwede po mag prescribe ng medication ang surgeon/ surgeon resident?
If you have a current medical license, you can.
How to get a externship in us, can u please tell it too?
Hello doc, thank you for the heads up. I would like to ask if after the residency in US can a IMG practice being a Doctor in the US?
Yes you can,
If you have passed the ECFMG, passed the State Boards, had at least i year in a recognized US Hospital and a Permanent Resident (Green Card holder) or stronger a US Citizen. In Calif they require 2 years Post graduate (PGY 2) You always have to prove you are better but not to be cocky.
Hello
Can you tell me how many days ECFMG take for ECFMG certificate after notary cam.
I plan on going to college here in the US, medical school in the Philippines (I lived there before) and then residency in the US. What does my step by step look like?
This is Exactly what I'm thinking...... Im going to complete 12 th this year(probably 5 months)
I have a question po. How do they find hospitals to apply residency for?
At the back pages of many medical journals are ads for residency training,
Pwede po ba magwork ang nurse abroad while studying medicine abroad po?
What if your med school is not ECFMG certified, could you still continue to take the USMLE part 3 then practice residency in the US?
Sorry, but watch for changes in the legal department.
But philipino schools don’t meet the ecgmg requirements what a waste of time and money.
Hi have you finished your step 1? Or when do you plan on taking it?
Hi! I will be taking my step 1 next year :)
Hi! I am an American and considering med school in Philippines. Do you know which Filipino med schools offer US clinical rotations during 3rd or 4th year of school to boost my IMG application? Thanks in advance?
Hi! I know that UERM has an option to do 1 month of clinical a in the US. I was also told that Fatima medschool allows you to do your clinicals in the US. That’s all I know! Hope that helps!
@@SarangChoiMD Check at the "Fifth Pathway".
Hello! Thank you for this information! I do have a question regarding the US Visa and the like. I still don't have one. When do I apply for such? Thank you!
As for the visa, you'll most likely be able to apply for one and get it once you get into a residency program in the US. So the visa process comes after everything else.
@@SarangChoiMD Check those little towns needing a doctor. Some will sponsor and help you secure a permanent immigrant Visa. You will be classified as a Third Preference.
helo senior...ur videos r really helpful....i m confused whether to go to carribean university or phillipines university keeping USMLE in mind?? which country among the both would be helpful for me...Agents say that carribean countries teach according to USMLE plan and its easy for student to crack from there....there is no price issue..we can manage the carribean uni cost....Only i want ur right guidance that which university will help me in future, from where should i do my MD program..Thnk u....may u be a vry succsful doctor
I would like to study in Poland or Russia, they have cheaper and better school than the Carribean.. the only thing is that you can not practice in their country because of the Language... I might consider RAK Medical School in UAE, or Singapore.. If you dont get a match in the US.. You can practice in the UAE and SIngapore.. you will get paid better too..
Hi! Thanks for stopping by. If you have no issue with financing the education in the Caribbean medical schools and do not have citizenship issues, then going to a good school there could be easier for you to ease back into USA for residency and fellowship. I know a friend who went to a school there and is now back in US for residency training. Maybe inquire the school you are interested in --> concerning the citizenship requirements for the internship programs they offer. I think that will help you. Hope this answer helps! :) Good luck to you as well :)
Sarang Choi Thank u so much for your guidance ..Could u plz fetch me ur email id ...THANK U
is it possible to take step 1 in the Philippines?
Yes you can take the Step 1 in the Philippines. :)
I'm in BS BIO, so that means I got 2 years to take my Step 1. can you recommend the best books for preparation
Oh, you're supposed to take step 1 after your're done with at least 2 years of medical school. You don't take it after college. USMLE Step 1 is the Physician licensing exam for US.
But to prepare for it, the best ones to use are:
1. First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 Book
2. Pathoma Lectures and book
3. UWorld question bank
thanks a ton for the quick replies and info
how much do residents get paid in the US?
It depends on the program you're in, but it's roughly $68,000/year on average
are you a american citizen ate?
She is a Doctor...calling her ate is inappropriate!!
@@bellafella136 bruh LMFAO
What if i want to do practice in US after residency there?
You can take the USMLE exam and apply to residency programs in the US.
Medschool --> get ECFMG certified --> take USMLE STEP 1 and 2 and get a good score --> apply to residency programs in US through ERAS --> Get matched, get visa --> residency in US
Ate meron po ako questions para mo ma aware ako ahmm kung mag residency ka po ba meron po bang bayaran like tuition fees?? Paki answer po thankkyou
You will be paid while working as a resident, but to get there from here takes a long time and a lot of money. Taking the USMLE step 1 and 2 costs a lot of money and doing interviews to get matched to become a resident cost a lot of money too since you have to fly to different places for the interviews. Hope this helps! :)
@@SarangChoiMD soo ate wala napong babayarang parang tuition fee ang babayaran nalang as residency eh yung mga lugar na pupuntahan namin if may interview?
@@SarangChoiMD kasi po magtatake po ako ng residency here in the Philippines
@@SarangChoiMD ate may idea ka po ba kung pag mag take ka ng residency here in philipe the same lang din sa sinabi mo na walang like tuition fee?
@@gailsantos2745 You're employed by the hospital once you're a resident, so you will be paid. But the amount of pay varies depending on whether you work in a private hospital or a public hospital.
Kahit hindi ka gaano kayaman pwede ka bang maging doctor sa USA?
Hmmm medyo malaki lang ang gastos sa proseso pagpunta ng US... Siguro at least mga 13K USD. Mahal kasi ng exams and application fees. Better siguro if makahanap ka ng mag sponsor sayo :)
@@SarangChoiMD 13k USD IS ONLY FOR EXAM?
@@kurttzy9211 No no, exams: Step 1, Step 2 ck and cs, application fee to hospital programs, US clinical experience, etc all combined
it could cost more, it could cost less, depending on the nature of your interviews and the clinical experience. Hope this info helps! :)
How much does it cost doc in taking Step 1 USMLE?
Hi! STEP 1 exam currently costs $965. Then additional charge for international testing fee if you take it in the Philippines. Refer to this link: www.ecfmg.org/fees/
please which university is best as i did my undergraduate in the UK and will love to progress to the Phillipines for medical school because of the cost . my budget is $2000-$3000/ year i will be glad if you can reply me
Hi! There are a lot of medical schools here in the Philippines and it will depend on your preference too. But the school I currently attend is a private school and one of the top ten in the country. The tuition fee for one semester is $2,800. But there are other schools that have lower tuition fees. Refer to this link for the ranking: seriousmd.com/blog/medical-school-philippines/
and to this for rough estimate of tuition fees (in Philippine pesos): www.myfinancemd.com/who-wants-to-be-a-filipino-doctor-faqs-on-top-20-philippine-medical-schools-tuition-fees/
Sarang Choi which school if I may ask please ?
I go to Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health, located in Pasig City! :)
Ok thanks Ateneo is one of choices that is same for international student yeah please can we talk more I followed you on IG 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi! If you want to apply medical school in Philippines contact me in watsapp (+91-9727700288)
Any review center for usmle here in Philippines?
None that I know of as of now :(
Hey if i clear nmat with 90 plus percentile what are my Chances of getting into top schools? Also i did my bsc in biochemistry from india.
If you have an NMAT of 90 and above, you have good chances of getting into the top schools. But that is considering your college grades are also in good standing and you have enough extra curricular activities. And of course if you do well on the interviews! :)
Bago ako magresidency sa USA i need to take exams? Pls answer po
Yes, you have to do well in 3 exams and match into a program bago mag residency. You can check UK out as an alternative. Cheaper and faster ung process.
US vs UK: czcams.com/video/usz37gJIuSM/video.html
UK process: czcams.com/video/JIJrU2qWJYU/video.html
US will take you roughly 2 years after grad to prepare. UK will take you less than 1 year after graduation.
In the Philippines do the woman like white men? In Flushing, New York USA in the major shopping center store a east asian woman told me they don't like white men. I was shook that in the USA some woman discriminate in this day an age. I told her if she does like white men that's ok but, I like east Asian women. The women in the Philippines won't take advantage of me will they? What is the percentage pass rate of the USMLE for your school?
Thomas Lapsley bro this the wrong place for that
Thomas Lapsley you're conceited, as if women in my country will take advantage of you really? Well is up to you if you're a willing victim,LMAO.
Are you looking for a Social media Manager, Video editor?
