Other Advices

So the short answer for I am's other unanswered questions:

1. Don't take up medical residency while you are studying for the USMLE. It's too hard to do that. I do advise na mag moonlight ka prn (as needed) not to raise money for the USMLe, but to gain confidence na kaya mo na pala maging GP

2. Kung mag moonlight ka, i advise do it once a week lang. Ako nga mga once every 2 weeks lang. Pag nag moonlight ka kasi, nakaka addict, iisipin mo, wag na mag usmle. Know what you want. In this case, you want the USMLE. Get rid of other doubts and distractions.

3. Visit the websites na helpful:

anyways, i'll try to guide you through it. May balita, i'm not sure how true, this according to erwin kho, ka batchmate niyo, na baka mag include daw ang USMLE ng heart sounds. I'm not sure how true... but if you have any problems with your murmurs, i could help.
