PLM Medicine

[flipmusic]

Incoming 3rd year Psy student pa lang ako sa PLM. If ever gusto ko ring ituloy sa med.

Nakita ko sa website na may nagbago sa yung criteria for admission:

Eto:
"5. Must have no failure in any subject in the undergraduate course (NEW!) "

Eh, I'm from an engineering course before I shifted to psychology. Tapos may bagsak akong isang engineering(math) subject?? Bawal na po kaya yun? If taga Manila po ba nasa magkano ang tution fee? TIA.

Hi guys! Ano po yung MCAT? And ano po ang required grade for this? One of my choices sa medicine! Pero I heard, di raw maganda ang environment dito.

hindi maganda ang environment?hahaha!can you elaborate?hehe
MCAT or Medical College Admission Test is given by PLM as part of their admission and screening of med aspirants.

PLM's Medicine is a good med school. Karamihan ng mga hindi naka-abot sa quota ng UPCM ay dito napupunta esp. if they come from UP units. Students were as good as others 'top' school (as proclaimed by others). ex. *** valedictorian ng school namin (upperclass siya btw) ay dito nag-aaral. She graduated Cum Laude from UP Manila, BS Biology. Another instance ay ang kanilang 95%+ passing rates sa board exams this recent years.

Maganda ang medical education offered by the PLM-CM. Makikita po iyon sa magandang record ng PLM sa Physician Licensure Exam.

August 2009: 99% (99 passers/100 examinnes)
August 2010: 96% (109 passers/113 examinees)
August 2011: 98.31% (116 passers/118 examinees)

Sa tatlong taon na yan, hindi nawawala ang PLM sa Top 5 ng top performing schools sa board exam.

Ang mahirap lang sa PLM, antagal nila maglabas ng result or list ng mga qualified applicants. Yung tipong, sarado na ang reservation ng slot sa ibang med schools. Kaya susugal ka talaga sa PLM. Pero sobrang worth it yung paghihintay mo kapag natanggap ka. Mura ang tuition fee kahit pa hindi ka taga-Manila. Syempre, sobrang mas mura kung Manila resident ka (tuition mo sa buong medschool e tuition pa lang ng isang sem sa ibang medschool).

Nung iterview ko pa lang sa PLM, sabi sakin ng isang 2nd year student don, ang PLM daw ay parang extension ng UPCM dahil karamihan ng mga nag-aaral sa PLM ay UP graduates.

one of best med school sa pinas ang PLM-CM.

nakakasuya lang, yung mga bumabagsak sa UP, sa PLM magmemed tapos akala mo, pag tinanong mo, UP daw sila...

pwede sa PLM-CM kahit hindi taga-manila.. average tuition wala pang 50k. sobrang mura yan... before, may service ka dapat sa city of manila pagpasa sa board since ginastusan ka ng manila government.. payback ika nga...pero hindi ko na alam ngayon...

PLM-Medicine has one of the best (if not the best) medical school programs in the Philippines.

I'm not sure kung sa Manila or sa 'Pinas na yata. I mean, you would have to stay in the country for at least 2 years.

[tazjhaie]

mali nga if country eh.. focus dapat sa manila yung service.. kaya nga binuo yung CM eh.. kaso dahil sa mga nakaupo sa cityhall na wala ng ginawa kundi ang gawing political arena nila yung plm, nawawala na yung standard lagi..

Dati, Cat 1 and Cat 2 students ang may Return Service Obligation/Payback since sila talaga yung "scholar" na matatawag ng Manila. Cat 3 students are full paying kaya wala talaga silang RSO/payback. Pero nag-order si Mayor Lim na tanggalin ang RSO/Payback ng mga graduates ng PLM-CM ngayon. Depende sa nakaupong Mayor kung magkakaroon ng payback. Malay natin, kung si Erap ang mananalong mayor sa 2013 ay ibalik nya ang payback obligation ng PLM-CM graduates.

This coming school year, ang approx. tuition ng Cat 3 or full paying students ay nasa 65K per sem. Mas mura pa din kumpara sa ibang top medschools considering PLM-CM is one of the Top 3 based on board exams.

plm-cm should create an effective program that can stir the passion of their graduates to do their return service though i do not have any idea on how this can be put to action. Most of its alumni who previously served as part of their return service complains of the manner the college is requiring them to complete these requirements. well, if only they'll focus on genuinely helping the students with utmost concern without bias and self promoting agendas, they need not to force their graduates to return back what was genuinely given to them. it's the law of the universe, what you sow you will reap.

and btw, base on their admissions this year, it seems that having your premed in plm is no longer an advantage for an applicant. Out of 20+ from CS who applied, only 9 were qualified compared in our batch where 95%of plm applicants were accepted to the program.
