Medicine II will probably be the one of the most difficult subject of

3rd year, but (for me) the most interesting of 'em all. It also
comprises the bulk of your GWA for 3rd year (23%). Expect 1520 transes per LE.
Don't print out our transes just yet. The department is known to
switch lecturers and topics around.

ENICIDEM

There will be preceptorial sessions yearlong as well except this

time, it's not about perfecting HPI and PE anymore. You will be
given a patient every week. You are expected to do COMPLETE
history and PE + SOAP (Subjective Data, Objective Data,
Assessment and Plan). SOAP is taking out noteworthy info from
the history and PE and giving your patient a diagnosis.

Relative Difficulty 4.5 out of 5

Read Harrison's if you can. Interview patients giving attention to
all the important details and reading about them as this helps in
building up knowledge of important cases. Read in advance as
there are a lot of topics and exams are more of application rather
than memorization.

Harrison is your best friend. It your bible, your lover, your

guardian angel. It is the jack of all trades, and master of all.
When in doubt, refer to Harrison first. Try to read every chapter.
In your free time, try to read the on fever, pain, hypertension, etc
(the most common conditions) as these are very helpful for when
you become clerks. #claimtheclerkship #noseriouslyCLAIMIT
#insertShiaLeBeoufvideohere
#dontevencareaboutmisspellingthename

Read Harrisons. Medicine requires good foundation of the basic

pathologic processes of the common diseases so make sure to
read up on topics before lectures begin. Prepare for long
coverages exams. Before we had around 20 plus transes on
Infectious and Dermatology. Most in our batch failed that exam.
Definitely the hardest of all the subjects in third year. And make
sure to recite and contribute in your preceptorials. It will really pull
your grades up.

freakin' hard! after every exam, if those patients on the exams

are real, maybe more than 50% of them are already dead, and
the rest of the 50% are in the ICU by the time your finished
answering the exam. Medicine II is not about memorization, it's
about understanding and applying what you've learned
theoretically. almost 100% of the exam questions are clinical in
nature. it's not enough that you've read the transes 2/3/4/5x, what
matters is if you really understood what you've read. there are so
many topics every LE, around a minimum of 10 topics per LE, so
know when to start studying. learn how to read and interpret
xrays, ultrasounds, CT scans, angiograms, and other radiologic
procedures. learn how to quickly make a good paper with good
case discussions for preceptorials. integrate what you've learned
in physiology, pathology, clinical pathology to help you
understand the topics. don't forget the basic sciences! they still
ask some 1st year and 2nd year questions during exams. during
exams, they can ask almost anything from the entire universe.
unicorns are of no help because every year they switch lecturers
and some lectures and even the arrangement of topics they
switch, so it's of no use at all. Medicine II is really really hard so
make sure you really do your best to really study for this course.

References: Harrison's + clinical guidelines on several diseases

(these can be downloaded off the net for free)
BayNatz tip: Invest more time finishing those transes than
producing the perfect paper for precept. Remember that LEs
comprise 54% of your total grade (9% per LE) while papers only
make up a small percent of your precept grade (20% of your total
grade). HOWEVER, this does not give you an excuse to come to
precept unprepared. Study the cases of your patients well!

Harrison's is your best friend, but for a quick fix, Medscape is

your best bet (use technology to the fullest!).
The emphasis is no longer on what is the condition but instead,
you will be asked "HOW DO YOU DIAGNOSE/ TREAT/
MANAGE?" without mentioning the disease at all! So essentially
you should be able to diagnose AND treat.
All of the flow charts and diagnostic criteria are important.
FOCUS ON THE TABLES in transes and in books. The content
ALWAYS comes out.
The cases in the exams will be long, but only 1 or 2 questions will
be asked. Make sure to read them thoroughly.
These topics are the most difficult ones:
1. Pulmonology and Nephrology - lots of computation about Acid
Base Balance, and correct diagnosis of the metabolic state of the
body (ex. mixed acidosis and alkalosis)
2. Infectious diseases - PHARMA PHARMA PHARMA, know
your drugs against different bacteria and parasites!

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.

For Dr. Salazar's lectures... PRAY. PRAY TO GOD. Haha well no

actually, his exam questions are gathered from several books
(which he will not mention), not just nelson's. It's not enough to
listen to the lecture however it's not enough to just practice with
the sample exams.
Infectious diseases in children - a MUST KNOW.
You will never escape developmental pediatrics. Recall all the
ages of certain milestones.

master your localization skills and review neurological pathways

and things would be easy.
Same. Practice mag answer ng samplex. Halos ganun ung
questions pero super hirap talaga. Need talaga magbasa ng
book kasi ung iba talaga wala sa nilecture
Neurology is hard. Period. So don't despair over your (future)
poor performance in exams. Read Adams for theoretical stuff,
DeMyer for mastering the neurological exam. PS Dr. Olaivar's
lecture on Neurological Examination is DA BOMB. Thou shalt not
miss this lecture!
Second hardest after Medicine. Questions are tougher and more
clinical compared to Neuro 1. Transes should be sufficient. But
make sure you have good foundation and grasp of your neuro
exam and localizations.
review your neuroanatomy. clinical neurology is mainly applied
neuroanatomy so you better review all your pathways! Manter &
Gatz will come in handy. almost all of the lecture comes from
Adams so if you want to completely understand the lectures you
can read it. Harrison's section on neurology is also a good read.
also learn how to read radiographs especially x-ray and CT scan,
it will help you understand the lectures and even in precepts.
precepts will hone your neuro exam skills so better participate.

Ah, the pride of UERM! Neurology II is more of an extension of

the range of topics lectured in Neuro I. Again, you'll cover many
neurologic diseases (it's not always stroke!), the clinical findings,
diagnostics and treatment of choice. Usual lectures +
preceptorials, but the difference is that preceptorials only last for
half a semester.
You will finally step foot onto the Neuro ward. You are expected
to do a COMPLETE PE with a COMPLETE neuro exam, of
course. So have those neuro PE stuff on hand and ready!
OSCE will again be 2 stations: one localization station and one
case-based station with performing the correct neuro exam.
References: Adams, but transes will do
BayNatz tip: Remember having a really hard time in Neuro during
2nd year? Well, expect to feel the same in 3rd year, maybe even
tougher. 5-10 transes per LE, but they do give out tough
questions as well, mostly case-based. Don't worry though!
Personally, I have never met a Neuro lecturer I didn't like.
Prepare to be in awe of their vast knowledge and experience in
Neurology. Don't believe me? Make an effort to attend the Neuro
CPC!
I'm biased towards neurology, it's a difficult but fun subject to
study. Neuroanatomy is very important. Listening to the lecture
and reading Adams is the best thing to do. They always go back
to the basics = NEUROANATOMY.

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.

Here's something to look forward to: Many surgery preceptors

actually ask you guys to scrub in to the OR and observe many of
the surgical procedures. Best to prepare scrubs, OR shoes
(clogs, duralite), booties, face mask and cap and keep them
ready because sometimes they 'll ask you to scrub in without
prior announcements or whenever a special procedure is
scheduled. Don't scrub in unprepared! Read on the cases and
the procedure, the risks, the indications, etc. Nagtatanong sila sa
loob ng OR!

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!!!

BayNatz tip: Surgery is usually the last exam scheduled on each

LE week. The department is definitely one of the kindest. They
give out the lowest MPLs (we had a 50 once!), but that doesn't
mean you get to chill out on this subject. They do have out-ofthis-world questions but most of them will definitely be
answerable.

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. :))

References: Kaplan and Saddock Synopsis of Psychiatry, DSM V

The focus is on treatment of psychiatric disorders, therefore if

you do not remember the criteria for diagnosis, you should
freshen up on it. Psychopharma and neuropsych is the focus for
3rd year.

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:

no sweat. Transes only. Mejo samplex pero may times na hindi.

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 :)

Relative Difficulty 3.0 out of 5

Mahirap maging babae.
Same with OB. Pero mas mahirap to.
Read transes also. Comprehensive Gynecology is very useful for
when you want to do some advanced reading. It is highly
informative unlike its counterpart.
just like surgery, know your anatomy. but also memorize and
understand reproductive/female/obstetric physiology! memorize
and understand your menstrual cycle and you'll have a good
grasp of the entire course. hahaha! they also ask about surgical
procedures so make sure you understand how they do surgeries.
If you think OB is difficult enough, GYNE during 2nd sem will
have its own share of casualties. The difficulty level parallels
Medicine II...possibly even surpassing it. The plan of attack is so
different from how you guys study OB, as is its contents and
questions. Just lectures. No preceptorials. You have been
warned!
Maybe it's a department thing, but GYNE questions also have
choices that all seem correct. They can ask questions from the
littlest details of your transes. They can also manipulate just one
word from the choices in the questions to make them correct or
incorrect. Also, part of the reason why it's difficult is that it's a
whole new world from OB. parang bagu-baguhan nanaman for
2nd sem. Relatively few recycled unicorns tho.
References: Lentz Gynecology, but well-made transes will do.
BayNatz tip: Give your 110% on each LE. You don't have a
preceptorial or an OSCE grade to up your LE grades. Attendance
can help you that much. Adding book info to your transes may
help too.
They always get questions from comprehensive gynecology.
When making transes, always source the book.
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

4. pharmacologic management!

Transes should be sufficient. They tend to repeat questions from

old exams.
transes will suffice. just have the other section's trans
beforehand, or even the previous batches' transes will do. just
listen on the lectures, read your transes, and have a copy of

One of the more chillin departments, Ophtha is relatively
manageable. 1st sem for Section B, 2nd sem for Section A. 3
LEs + Occasional precepts + OSCE. Your preceptorials will not
be done every week. You do case discussions and return demos.
You do have quizzes before each preceptorial session ends so
LISTEN CAREFULLY.
OSCE included interpreting fundoscopy findings and testing for
CN III, IV, VI.
References: Vaughan and Asbury's General Ophtha
BayNatz tip: Review the 8-part eye exam. Ophtha exams are
relatively okay. Not too difficult (compared to ENT). No finals
exemption tho. The dept doesn't really rotate or change lecturers
so there.
Love ophtha because many of their exams repeat questions from
previous batches.
Uveitis is a difficult topic, otherwise all other topics are relatively
easy and are lectured in a straightforward manner. What comes
out in the lecture comes out in the exam.
For glaucoma, pharmacologic management is the most
important.
They have different eyedrops that they like to ask about.

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

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.

Cummings and Probst are your best friends. Many exam

questions are not lectured, but are found in the book.
They LOOOOVE asking anatomy questions. Never forget the
anatomy for ENT!
They will ask you to make a video and it will be due within 3
days. Do not complain. This always happens.
Major cases are similar to preceptorial classes but it is
handwritten. Do them beforehand because they want lengthy
answers with drawings (usually 5 to 10 pages of yellow pad). Ask
the higher batches if they have answers already because they
tend to repeat the major cases

Memorize. MAKINIG SA LECTURE :) Just listen to the lectures
Transes rule! but don't forget to read everything your professors
tell you to read. Despite being one of the lighter subjects, our
experience with exams last year was terrible because of the
vaguely worded questions. Hopefully the department has
remedied that. If you are interested in Forensic Medicine, you
can follow [Forensic Medicine, PAMS] on Facebook. It has
interesting forensic cases on its page and other related stuff.
Transes should be enough.
i found this hard because: 1) our professor that time wasn't that
good in teaching the course, and 2) i don't like law stuff. the
course will make you memorize and interpret legal stuff--as in
republic acts and stuff. just read and read the things they make
you read and pray that you remember the more important details
of your readings. Haha
Our experience with Legal Medicine was definitely a pain and the
department is well aware of it. We had a lecturer, eccentric as he
appears, who works in the PNP and even manages a Facebook
page. Quotable quote: "How do you autopsy a chicken?" It wasn't
until the 3rd LE when we had a juris doctor-attorney brothers
tandem who made Legal Med a little bit more interesting.
For those with an interest on politics, jurisdiction and ethics,
Legal Med is for you. You will zoom in on many medico-legal
matters such as Negligence, Physician's Act of 2012, Forensics,
etc.
BayNatz tip: Lectures only. 3 LEs. 4-5 transes per LE. No Finals
exemption, i'm afraid. Most of the questions are case-based. You
do not need to memorize every bullet under each law but
familiarize with the inclusion criteria and the pertinent details
(when do you say you are practicing nursing or midwifery? when
are you considered to be a medical student? Can a foreign
physician practice Medicine in the PH?)

Clinical Pathology is nothing like Pathology. The focus is more on

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.

break out into preceptorial groups after. Community Medicine, as
in the name, trains us how to impart health promotion and

Preceptorial sessions will be more focused on creating lesson
plans and conducting and demo-ing health teaching classes to

it will make the workload easier. just read your transes and

readings found on the manual and from the class activities, so
make sure you participate and not miss on those.
Read the manual and transes.
The manual is your frenemy. You will love and hate it in equal
measure. You will get to meet actual Barangay Health Workers,
which is cool. But then you have to create community programs
afterwards, which is not so cool.

gets difficult to allot time to work on your thesis defense so make
sure not to neglect it.
I know many of us dread this, but it will soon be over. I promise.
BayNatz tip: Preparing for the research forum is a class effort.
The department expects a well-conducted program, organized
logistics, smooth program flow and well-designed brochures and
invitations. Respect the department deadlines and meet all of
their requirements! You don't wanna do Research Projects again,
do you?

Dress well when presenting your thesis.Make sure the statistic
