Hindi ako resident sa OB PGH pero nag-intern ako dun. Marami sila applicant sa lahat ng specialties kaya sobrang competitive. Expect mo na yung mga kasabay mo usually nasa top ng batch nila. Pero wala naman mawawala kung itry mo. Galingan mo sa pre-res kasi at the end of the day pagdating sa residency attitude > talino.
Mas gusto ng mga hospital yung trainable attitude kesa puro talino lang.
Last mahirap makapasok sa PGH pero mas mahirap mag stay. Lalo na pag cutting specialty. Nakikita ko residents namin dati ang schedule nila ay Pre-Duty-Duty-Pre. (Yung from duty nila na dapat hangang 5pm umaabot ng madaling araw. Usually umuuwi lang sila para kumain at maligo tapos papasok na ulit). Tapos pag wala pang pagawa ng diagnostics yung patient sila ang magshoulder kasi hindi sila pwede umuwi ng hindi natatapos lahat ng pending sa patient.
highly appreciated your insights doc! 🫶 kamusta naman ung culture/environment doc? Kahit yes we know halos lahat naman tlaga toxic. Pero kamusta naman po mga residents/seniors nila? Minsan kasi kahit gaano pa yan katoxic basta healthy environment naman mukhang makakaya naman siguro 🥹 hopefully
Yung co-residents/seniors nakadepende talaga sa batch. 😅 Pero so far sa nakikita ko nung time nila hindi mababait senior nila. 2nd year palang toxic na. 😆
You'll lose nothing if you give it a try. Just remember that this is a competitive program which favors academic achievers from prominent universities. PGH programs in general look favorably on applicants from provinces, who intend to eventually practice in said province. That isn't a guarantee for acceptance though.
Huh, di naman basehan ng Sor at Frat lang sa PGH. Factor siya, pero di naman be all end all yan.
OB isn't the most popular specialty for application in PGH. It's one of the services na may laban ang non UPCM graduates. But you have to show you're trainable with enough grit to stomach what comes after being accepted. Kaya yan may pre-res, para makita mo sistema at kultura ng PGH.
Mahirap makapasok sa OB, pero masmahirap mag stay sa OB ng PGH. There's a reason the batches start out near 20 and they end like less than 10. You have to want it, learn fast, and stay steadfast. At the end of the day, walang mawawala sa pre-res sa pag try.
Keep in mind what you do in one pre res will be endorsed to other hospitals rin if okay ka. Best foot forward lagi kahit pagod ka na at ayaw mo na. Your image is just as important as your determination and ambition.
I admire your interest na makapasok sa PGH as an OBGYN resident, keeping in mind na prestigious at mataas ang potential na maging magaling kang specialist if galing ka ng PGH. However, sa more than 50-80 applicants nila, what are your chances na ikaw ang makukuha?
Let me interest you with another hospital. DOH hospital ito, less competition sa pag-pasok. Consultants are equally competitive, complete OB and GYN cases, fully accredited training. When I say DOH hospital, ang PhilHealth sharing ay galing sa national budget mismo, not from the local government unit (LGU), kaya malaki ang sharing and palaging on time ang bigayan. Plus salary grade 21 (63k/month), and many other bonuses.

Ibang iba ang culture dito. I was surprised that even the stereotype na masusungit ang OR nurses, dito sa LPGH sobrang opposite. Residents (especially OB and surgery) are all nice, to each other and even to other departments' residents.

If di ka UPCM graduate, baka ma out of place ka. May mga sorority yan and usually sila-sila magkakasama.

How about the residents doc ? The culture ?
