1st exam is really hard as the topic is so broad. Read the
prescribed textbooks as most of the questions will come from
there. Must have high grade for the 1st longs. Neonatology is
difficult!
Topics in Pediatrics are very long. But the transes are sufficient.
No need to read Nelson except for special topics prescribed by
certain lecturers like Dr. Salazar.
If Pediatrics I was all about everything normal in children (e.g.
growth charts, developmental milestones, EPI, nutrition,
breastfeeding), Pediatrics II is like Internal Medicine kidz version.

You get to explore stuff mostly unique to these little humans.
Diseases, pathogenesis, treatment plans, you name it. Usual
lectures + preceptorials.
QUIZ ALERT! The department gives out quizzes a few minutes
before preceptorials start. These serve as attendance with the
questions related to a previously lectured topic. Most of the
answers can be found in your transes. Use these quizzes as an
indicator if you have been reading/highlighting your pedia
transes.
References: Nelsons + Fundamentals of Pediatrics
BayNatz tip: If there's anything you would want to invest your
time on during the first few weeks of 3rd year, it's Pedia. 1st LE
will again be that infamous Salazar-Eusebio combo. Study hard
for this subject! You and I both know the department is notorious
for shelling out unexplainably high MPLs.

Master the advantages of the different imaging diagnostics,
which works well in differentiating lesions. Differentiate the
absolute and relative indications for surgery. Memorize the
different staging of cancer.
Madaming kailangan imemorize na algorithms and staging.
Sabiston is my preferred book for studying, since Schwartz is
very complicated. For preceptorials, try to film every skill you do,
such as tying knots, holding a scalpel, inserting an ET tube, etc.
These will be very useful in the future (i.e. OSCE)
Read up on both Schwartz and the transes.
review anatomy! surgery is applied anatomy. if you really really
really know your anatomy you'll survive this course. listen on your
preceptorials and participate. consider surgery precepts your
time to master your clinical skills. some preceptors allow their
group to have an OR exposure (just like ours) and sometimes
some students were allowed to scrub-in into surgeries (just like
our group again haha) so make sure you make the best out of
every precept. read on Schwartz or Sabiston if you want to have
a better grasp of what their talking about during lectures.
Listening to the lecture is enough. Have fun during preceptorials
and ask lots of questions because usually the experience of the
surgeons is what is asked in the exams.

If you do plan on becoming a surgeon in the future, then Surgery
II will definitely a foretaste of something exciting for you. Usual
lectures + preceptorials. Preceptorials this time around isn't about
skills anymore. It's more on diagnosis and creating a game plan
for your patient (Will you operate on him/her or not? If not, why?
If yes, what procedure?). Take down notes, as the common
cases really do come out in the OSCE (e.g. appendicitis, small
bowel obstruction).
Oh yeah btw, may Psych OSCE. usually done a week before the
3rd/6th LE. You will get to meet PGIs and clerks acting out
psychiatric disorders. You will be tasked to interview them
(properly! try interviewing the schizophrenics and the depressed,
galing um-acting!!), get their history, diagnose them and give the
necessary treatment.
BayNatz tip: A baby Kaplan works wonders here. It gives you all
the necessary criteria from DSM to help you clinch the diagnosis.
Be prepared for anything in each Psych LE. They can ask
anything from percentages to DSM criteria. Aim for exemption!!!

Be familiar with DSM criteria. Pharmacology is important know
the important drugs related to psychiatry
Sakto lang :) Kaya naman. May exemption 85. Transes. Pero
pag kay dr rodriguez mahirap.Try to get exempted for the finals.
Read myriad of smplexes.
Kaplan in da house, yo! It is the only book you will need. That
said, there's really no need to read so much since the course is
usually very straightforward. However there will be some
Pharmacology involved though so you'll have to study that.
Transes should be sufficient.
have an ebook copy of DSM V. it will also help you on your
preceptorials. also you should master your psychopharmacology.
they always give psych drugs almost every long exam period. but
don't worry, i believe that by 4th-6th LE, you've already
memorized most of them.
Have you ever wondered what's it like to be inside the Psych
ward? Now's your chance. Psych this year now has preceptorial
sessions (again, for half a sem) so you will have patients for this
subject. Doing papers for Psych is very different than the usual
HPI and PE. You will be asked to do a Mental Status Exam
(MSE), an Anamnesis (histories of each part of the patient's life
from childhood to adulthood), and Psychodynamic evaluations
(how theories in Psych explain the behavioral changes in the
patient).
Usually 5 lectures per LE and a few pages for each trans. So it
shouldn't be too overwhelming. You should know by now how
they formulate questions hehehe. As out there as outer space
gets. :))

Fun =) Iprioritize din kasi minsan di napprioritize sa dami ng
subjects. Transes and williams Know the physiology of
embryology, mens cycle, buntis cycle.
Read the transes. Williams is the worst medical textbook I have
ever read. If Harrison was an angelic 10, Williams would be a
decrepit 0. It just sucks. #sorrynotsorry A chapter will usually
discuss various studies done and so on, only to conclude later
that there is still no definitive proof. Only read Williams when told
to by your professor.
Definitely something new for 3rd year. Preggies, preggies and
more preggies. Lectures + Half-sem preceptorials. Part of what
makes OB difficult is 1.) Being male 2.) These relatively new
concepts (e.g. the events during labor) that we have never heard
of. BUT, OB preceptorials are one of the more interesting
precepts too since you'll be learning all things new (e.g. how to
palpate the pregnant belly, computing for the AOG by LMP, how
to do a Pap smear, doing an internal exam in models and real
patients). You will also learn the MOGSCI maternal history when
interviewing patients (Menstrual, OB-GYN, Sexual,
Contraceptive, Immunization histories). Difficult but fun
nonetheless.
OSCE included computation of LMP, doing Leopold maneuvers
and demonstrating the Pap Smear. Done before sem break.
BayNatz tip: OB LEs are difficult in that they give out questions
with choices that are all seemingly correct. They give out okay
MPLs (60's) but the difficulty level makes it not okay. Take
special note of the risk factors, the AOGs, the drugs of choice. If
you must, review reproductive endocrinology and physiology like
the menstrual cycle and how the hormones go up and down.
They always get questions from williams. When making transes,
always source williams. Tables and figures are important to read
and to know.

Some favorite questions of the professors:
1. percentage - how many % of women experience this
symptom?
2. incidence - only 5 out of 1000 women experience this condition
3. which disease is the most common in young/reproductive/old
women?
4. pharmacologic management!

no sweat. Transes only. Mejo samplex pero may times na hindi.
So aral pa din. Samplex-based learning (SBL) pwede
Transes are your main source of knowledge. The book (the name
of which escapes my memory) is very simple, and the pertinent
info contained therein can easily be condensed into your transes.
The lectures are easy on the mind, and exams are usually fairly
simple. PS it's spelled Ophthalmology :)

Mej mahirap pero transes ok na. Samplex
Read the ENT manual. Transes are also sufficient for the course.
For preceptorials, the first step is ALWAYS positioning your
patient. Missing this one step is equivalent to a missed point,
which can spell the difference between passing and failing. Do
not be late for quizzes! They are very easy and compose a nice
percentage (the actual number eludes me) of your total grade.

There will be a quiz every meeting. Transes and Probst should
be sufficient for exams.
relatively harder than ophtha but manageable. transes will suffice
as long as the transes contain some book notes. just have the
other section's trans beforehand, or even the previous batches'
transes will do. know your anatomy. almost 50% of exam
questions is about anatomy, like 1st year anatomy! also have a
copy of unicorns *wink wink* even unicorns from #throwback
years haha
1st sem for section A. 2nd sem for section B. Maybe one of the
few subjects you will dread easily.
QUIZ ALERT! ENT holds scheduled quizzes after 2-3 lectures.
They usually give it before the start of the lectures. Don't bank on
these being attendance only, they are GRADED so have a 1/2
lengthwise or a 1/4 pad papers ready. Their LEs are definitely
out-of-these-transes. Transes simply will not do. Make an effort
to seek out unicorns/samplexes from back in the day (circa 20102015). They sometimes recycle questions from there.
They have an ENT OSCE but it's just slide projection with 3-4
cases.
References: Probst Otorhinolaryngology, but transes + ancient
unicorns + prayers will do
They do have an exemption list but they only announce it on the
day of the finals. You will also be asked to make a 20 minute
video sometime around 2nd or 3rd LE, acting out a case and
answering all the guide questions. So yeah, definitely adds a lot
of burden to your already hectic schedule.
BayNatz tip: Just play their game and keep up with what they ask
of you. Treat those quizzes as a way to up your grade. Do good
in the video presentations as well. The ENT nightmare will be
over before you know it.

Clinical Pathology is nothing like Pathology. The focus is more on
the laboratory procedures and diagnoses, making the lectures
highly conducive for sleeping. Transes are highly recommended.
For lab exams, do not forget to refer to your manual since some
questions may be lifted from them.
And the Department of Pathology welcomes you once more
come 2nd sem. Clinical Pathology is very very different from the
Pathology you had last year. This is more on Laboratory
Medicine (where the forte of Med Techs lies). How to do lab
procedures, when to order for them, how to interpret lab results,
etc. Lectures + 1 Pracs.
The Practical exam is no stranger to what you guys did last year.
Move type exam + slide projection written exam. Familiarize
yourselves with the experiments done during lab time. The
written exam will take some concepts from the lectures as well.

BayNatz tip: Ask help from the Med Techs as much as possible.
Know the changes in lab results in the presence of a disease.
Unicorns ready! ;)
clinpath is all about the theoretical stuff of labworks. basically this
is a medtech course, so expect that all your medtech classmates
will top the class haha clinpath will cover almost all laboratory
tests ordered in the clinics. but it will be a lot easier because
almost all topics were already discussed in 2nd year pathology
and 3rd year medicine. memorize normal values. make sure you
already have a good grasp on how to integrate theoretical and
clinical information by the time you take clinpath. have a copy of
those unicorns *wink wink* and it'll help you pass the course
haha
Transes should be sufficient. Lab exams are hard so make sure
to read the lab manual. don't absent sa lab hirap mag make-up

There will be a manual, and it will be your source of info for the
course. Try to accomplish the exercises after the discussion on
the topic is done as it will make your life easier. Dr. Juangco is
your go-to guy for anything related to statistics. He has this
awesome calculator on his phone that he uses to compute for the
accuracy of your computations. He is amazing. Be his friend.
you'll just finish your paper that you've started in 2nd year, and
present it starting July/August up until the end of the semester.
this is just a pass-fail course. attend all symposiums and always
sign the attendance. at the end of the semester you're required to
pass your final final final paper. just accomplish all the necessary
documents so that at the end you won't be cramming anything.

Community Medicine is just like how things go in DPC, Epid and
Research Methods I. You sit down and listen to lectures and
break out into preceptorial groups after. Community Medicine, as
in the name, trains us how to impart health promotion and
education in the community setting.
Preceptorial sessions will be more focused on creating lesson
plans and conducting and demo-ing health teaching classes to
your groupmates, who will be acting as barangay health workers.
3 LEs. Aim for exemption!!!!
References: That undeniably expensive Com Med manual
(Php350-400)
BayNatz tip: Read the manual!! Most of them get their questions
from there, aside from the lectures. Have those unicorns (the one
that starts with S and ends with X) ready too.
