I love hearing the idealism and altruism in the voice of medical residents. Hold on to it for as long as you can. It will get harder to not become cynical and bitter. Many people around you will complain and there will be points where you yourself will doubt if you made the right decision going into medicine. Focus on your patients and learning your profession. It will be worth it in the end. I trained for 10 years in US. 4 years med school, 4 year’s residency, 2 years fellowship. Then I worked as a consultant for 10 years. Burn out comes around that 10 year mark. The practice of medicine is a wonderful calling. The business of medicine is incredibly frustrating. Keep focusing on what’s important… Good luck to all young doctors :)
Simple explanation: Kapag Fixed lang ang sweldo ng Doktor, ibig sabihin nasa Residency Training pa lang yan. Ang residency training ay training para maging consultant or sa tagalog ay "specialista". Once na matapos na ang residency training, ay kukuha ka na lang ng exam para maging consultant ka na. Once na maging consultant ka, hindi na fixed ang sweldo mo. Ang kita mo kapag consultant ka na ay kada pasyente na. For example: 500 pesos to 3500 pesos per patient consult. Ibig sabihin nyan, kung marami kang pasyente kada araw, ay madami din ang kita mo. Pero syempre may tax ka na babayaran annually kapag naging consultant ka na, just like being a businessman. Isama mo pa ang secretary mo na babayaran mo din monthly. So ang tanong yayaman ka ba kapag naging doktor ka? Ang sagot: dapat consultant ka na at nakadepende yan kung marami kang pasyente at clinics sa iba't ibang ospital.
You forgot to mention how much you need to buy stocks and right to practice, clinic rent and gaano katagal ka babayaran ng hmo at philhealth. Salary is above average, i should say that it is correct, but tbh businessmen don't have to work as much as a doctor and still earn. Kahit huminga lang sila, kumikita na sila 😅 samantalang pag doktor ka, di ka nagclinic, o wala kang pasyente o di ka mag opera, wala talaga.
@@tarahp0ts sa pagkaka intindi ko mas malaki na kita mga doctor ngayon ki sa dati. dahil sa philhealth doon sa bill ng papa ko 10k plus and internist palang yon pinaka common . swerte yong mga doctor sa government hospital na may resident or intern kasi parang sila nagsusulat sa chart doon sa nursing station. bogbog sarado.
I really salute and admire doctors and other health professionals sa pinas. Kalungkot lang na hindi nasusuklian ng tamang salary ang hardwork and dedication nyo. Ingat po kayo lagi dyan, always be healthy as Filipinos depend on you a lot.
I just went to see a liver specialist in Cebu go to over my fibroscan and ultrasound, the bill without insurance was lower than my lunch at Phat Pho…wow. I was thinking doctors are not getting paid much in the PH. Many thanks to aspiring doctors, feels like a labor of love here
Yes we doctors are here not to be rich, our profession is more of service, passion, love dor our craft. Yung salary parang compensation na lang for our pagod, though not really compensated for all the time we arent with our families. But seeing patients get well makes us more satisfied and fulfilled in the end.
@@gospelsara8658She's right tho. It's just you are so passionate about your job that you don't care much about money. Lots of aspiring doctors in the Philippines are aiming for such profession aside from their calling and other idealistic reason, money is of the main reasons. Some of those aspirants especially those who came from poor family are pursuing if not law, medicine for money, glory, and life assurance.
currently a medical clerk here in Davao. Knew a lot of residents quitted from the biggest gov't hospital here in Davao and went to a private institution due to the workload. Common denominator is that the hefty pay is not enough to cover how draining the training is :(. Also worked with residents in that gov't institution and I must say madami talaga sila pera and they are kind of generous to us clerks especially if we're good in what we are doing (thanks dokies hahaha). Good thing bumalik na interns and clerks because everything was extra hard during the pandemic. At least we're unloading some work off their shoulders.
Saludo sa mga doctors, nurses and other workers working in the health industry. Walang amount na makakahigit siguro sa pagod at hirap at dedikasyon na inyong ipinamamalas sa araw araw. God bless po!
Doctors, lawyers, engineers, veterinarians, architects and etc are not rich if their only source of income is their profession... Rich and wealth only flows via business and investments, and not practice of profession...
Training in a Government Hospital, you will get an item of a Medical Officer 3 at the least which has a salary grade of 21, around 60,000. But you still have deductions (tax, phic, etc). Government Employed VS Private Pratice? A surgeon in private practice can earn the monthly salary of a government-employed Doctor in just 1 surgical procedure.
Thank you for sharing. My daughter is just is a med student, and I can see how hard it is to study medicine, 3hrs sleep minsan. Sometimes others will think yayaman ka pag nag doctor ka, it is not true. Being a doctor is a calling. I salute all the doctors. God bless you all.
Hello Dr Ian , I just come across your videos on TH-cam. What a journey you have to go through and all those sleepless nights to become a Doctor. I’m so proud of you . Being a Doctor in any part of the world 🌎 you earned that recognition and respect. May the lord continue blessing you , because we all need Doctors. 🙏🏽.❤
Oh! thank you for this very informative video. Kawawa ang mga Doctors dito sa Pilipinas, napakahirap ng trabaho and the responsibility is also big but the salary is too small naman pala. But we cannot deny the fact that if you are a Doctor here in the Philipines, we can say that you are sikat at respetado sa lipunan. By the way, ang cute ng tawa mo Doc, i like it, very natural ;). God bless Doc.
Yung nag aral ka ng todo todo tapos wala man lang sa kalingkingan ng nakukuha ng mga pulitiko. Walang degree tapos pa travel travel lang tapos yung isa may confidential funds pa na hindi naman niya pera. 😑
I hope all of those underpaid MDs in the Philippines will go for residency here in the USA- matching is hard but I am sure will pay off their sacrifices...
I’m a retired MD. Trained in US retired in Philippines. My med school tuition in US was 200,000 USD or about 10 million php it’s ridiculous how expensive medical training is in the US.
And if you work in the US you will recover that in a year.. Indians they study hear relatively cheap but quality education and they work in the US and that's how many indians are doing good in the states..
@@Bluepanda555 not in a year but yes, I was able to pay off my student debt within 3 years. It’s one of the few professions where the crazy student loan debt in the US is worth it because your salary allows you to pay that off. It would not be worth it for a teacher or an artist as those professions make it very hard to pay back that debt but it is worth it for a physician. I don’t think Philippine medical education is terrible though, I’ve met many residents and fellows and consultants over the last 4 years as my Filipina wife was diagnosed, treated, and cured for Acute lymphoblastic leukemia here in Manila at st Luke’s BGC. She received excellent treatment. I will admit that 7/10 specialist she saw were all trained in US and UK. She was inpatient for 1 year so I interacted with the residents and fellows every day and they were very good. Main difference between Filipino medicine and medicine in US is they still depend too much on book or taught knowledge and institutional practice and habits as opposed to evidence based medicine like we do in the west. I do feel that the fact that I am a physician modified how intensive my wife’s chemo was as I pushed for an intensive pediatric inspired regimen based on evidence where the initial proposed protocol by the oncologist at st Luke’s was for a classic adult regimen they were more used to administering at st Luke’s but I pushed for the pediatric regimen that was evidenced based… so that’s the main difference, in Philippines they are practicing old medicine like 10-15 years old.
Kaya 20k per month ang resident kasi resident, sa isang hospital ka lang mag duduty. but if youre a GP, evry hosp is like 50-60k. My sister is a GP, 2 hospital sya nag duty and yan ang range ng sweldo nya.
Pretty Doctors get most of their money from their Professional Fees aka PF. I know a paediatrician who charges 50 per 2 hour consult. Maybe the salary may not be that much, but surely the money they get from PF would more than compensate for it.
Its all relative, Im sure earning 600k php a year puts you in Middle, upper class. But if you got big Student loans, paying those off for the next 20 years. No different to other countries
pero yung binigay nyo sa salary figure ay sa resident lang naman, hindi sa espesyalista na mismo.. yun sana ang gusto kong malaman magkano yung kita ng totoong doktor na talaga na espesyalista kasi isang bisita pa lg nila sa naka confine may bayad na dagdag mo pa ang consultation sa clinic nila, if may ooperahan sila, etc
kung gus2 nyo maging rich, marami pang iba pang ways. kng money lng ang gus2 nyo kaya nyo gus2 mag medicine, wag na kayo mag medicine, ndi ako doktor pero may pinsan akong OB GYNE, nung dalaga pa kami, nakikita ko yun parang nasisiraan na nang bait, nagsasalita magisa, minsan tulala,dala ng stress siguro, graduate sya ng UST. kng kaya nyo i bare ang stress ng mga med students, then go, pero kng ayaw nyo nang ganun stress tapos pera lng habol nyo, wag na kayo mag doktor. kng gus2 nyo kumita ng malaking pera, mag abroad kayo.
Maganda rin naman ang pasahod dito sa Pilipinas sa mga Physician natin esp. Sa Public Hospital. Job order nga lang nagrerange na sa 30k to 60k sa isang araw lang na duty kada linggo.Then maduduty pa sila sa ibang Govt Ospital na J.O then plantilyado naman sila sa ibang public ulit na sumasahod naman ng 100k+. Di lang dinedetalye ng ibang Doctors na may iba pa silang pinagdudutihan.Some doctors naman di pa alam ang diskarte kaya iniisip nila maliit ang kita
Hell, becoming an Airline pilot nowadays costs 3.5 million on average - not including the cost of a four-year degree. That 3 million is only for the certifications and building flight hours. Nothing is cheap anymore.
Thanks, very interesting. So medicine in the Phils is for passionate amateurs. True enough. With the money you spend to study and the taxes you will pay lifelong, just buy an agricultural lot, grow your food, live peacefully and be happy (and no doctor needed).
1.2. Million just for the tuition, how about the books, allowance, pre internship. Its more than 1 million. Believe me😢 it will cost you 2-3 Million in private schools.
I know guys who work as armed security (bodyguard) and he makes 85,000 pesos a month as a supervisor and the others in his crew make 50,000 pesos a month. He too is on call 24hrs.
Mas malaki pa yung sahod ng call center agent sa Doctor ng private hospital, I am really sad about it but yes Doctor is a calling and a mission indeed! If u wanna be rich then be businessman!
But after residency, and once consultant na sila with a lot of hospital affiliations, matic mataas na income nila from professional fees pa lang sa ibat ibang clinics nila
Residency training pa lang kase yang tinutukoy nya sa video kaya fixed lang ang sweldo nya. Pero kung tapos ka na sa residency training ay magiging consultant ka na or also known as "specialista", in which ang salary na ay nakadepende na sa dami ng pasyente mo, at kung malakas ang practice mo at madami patients mo, okay na ang pasok ng pera sayo.. 1st step: medical school 2nd step: residency training (fixed lang ang sweldo) 3rd step: Specialista (final step) (per patient na ang sweldo mo 500-3500 pesos per patient consult)
I live in Canada and I’m studying to become a dental hygienist (taga linis ng ngipin) and I’m paying 1,861,050 php for an 18 month course. Pero worth it naman dahil triple ang sahod annually pag nakatapos. But if I would have to move back to the Philippines, minimum pay lang ang profession na to :(
Yes true. Doctors here in cruiseship have salary of 10k usd while nurses around 5.5kusd plus commissions and officers status benefits. Sad to say that our Medical Heroes are severely underpaid.
How about yung mga commissions na natatanggap ng mga doctor from drug companies? I'm sure that's a lot that's why doctors are so generous in prescribing medicines
Grabe sobrang baba ng sweldo ng residents sa private hospitals :( sweldo lang yan ng fresh grad huhu. Sana talaga doctors are being paid what they deserve hay
i dont think they pay their "fair" share of taxes ... lalo na sa consultations na cash only na doctor. di tumatanggap ng HMO and CCs and di nagiisue ng resibo
Ok, £17142, $21k, and exchange rate varies, but if you can move to the West... fairly well paid salary. £60k= - $80k USD? and that isn't even progressing. I dated a cardiologist / surgeon in Russia, back 2000, and she earned more signing people off from army, than her $50 a month salary. So imagine that then, and now, in USA.
Bakit mag dodoctor ka kung ang goal mo ay yumaman? Magnegosyo ka kung gusto mong yumaman as long na you're only an employee there's no way na yayaman ka, at Di ba nagdoctor ka for humanitarian reasons?
May sinamahan akong friend for consultation to 3 doctors, 1k each per consultation, paid in cash. NONE of them issued a receipt. That’s 3k already. Makati med yan ah
@@kylejarabelo2027 sorry but that mentality is wrong, receipts should be automatically issued by them. Di mo na kailangan manghingi pa kasi aba dapat lang naman! services rendered po ang consultation sa kanila, and taxable po yon. ayaw lang nila talaga magbigay ng kusa 😶 mas madali mag underdeclare ng income.
All I know is that my aunt's cardiologist gets a cut from the hospital every time a patient gets 2D echo or heart ultrasound. They did 2D echo twice on 85 years old patient who is a DNR without telling us. Her primary doctor would refer my aunt to Neurologist, Internal Medicine, Cardiologist I don't know what organ they're trying to salvage. At the end of her admission we paid at least 20k a pop per specialist aide from her hospital bill. Healthcare is a scam. I feel sad for those who can't afford it.
True beh my mom got comatosed for 1 month we paid almost 700k php plus the funeral 200k and other misc, i mean thankfully we got Philhealth insurance, cocolife insurance and other PWD dicsounts of my mom and it lessen to 200k for the hosp bills. I am just thankful that my dad is in Military because The government covered all the expenses after 3 months, i would not know what will i do bcs that time I am unemployed. I am just so sad that every pump to my mom is so much mahal when my mom got the 8th cardiac arrest they got the life support already. And i hate it. That is why I wanted to be a doctor too.
Recently ko lng nabasa tong blog nato. Mahina ako sa inglis eh Sana tagalogin nyo ang mga sinasabi dito sa blog para maintindihan nman namin mahihirap ang totoo. Salamat. Tanong: Bakit pagka doctor ang ginusto nyo sa buhay. Paano nyo Mababawi ang ginastos sa med sch tuition? Maikli lng buhay ng tao.
Vocation tlga ang pag ddoctor. si Doc Willie Ong lang ata kilala kong doctor na mayaman cguro dahil family of doctors sila therefore old money? Anyway I hope tumaas sahod ng doctor, para naman mging comfortable buhay nila kasi for sure passion nila yan, might as well ma rewardan naman sila ng tama.
I did my residency in Hawaii PGY1: 75k USD PGY2: 80k USD PGY3: 90k USD PGY4: 105k USD PGY5: (fellowship) 110k USD PGY6: (fellowship) 115k USD PGY7: (full sub specialist/consultant 250k+ USD Sub-specialist with 10+ years of experience: 350k USD or higher depending on specialty. But all of us had to pay over 200k USD in tuition and fees during our training
Hello there, God bless them. Ecclesiasticus Chapter 38(DRB) 38:12. For the Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee, for his works are necessary. 38:13. For there is a time when thou must fall into their hands:
Wow. 50.000 monthly? nurses in the US make 200 000 pesos monthly after taxes. That's even only in small cities. That's just LPN'S not even an RN. Rns make 3.5 million a year. That's so sad. Expensive nga ang school pero, worth talaga ang pera. LPNS spend atleast 500 000 in tuition fees pero they make 3 million/year. Ka sad kasi yong mga Doctors galing pinas naging care giver sila dito. US schools do not recognize credits from the Philippines which is very sad. Sana maiba na ang school system sa pinas para kahit saan mang lugar accepted ang course credits.
Filipino nurses and doctors are over qualified. But it is US laws that a foreign profession abroad must get through examination before practicing their profession. Kasi each US States has their own creditions on nurses or doctors, some authorized license are authorized in certain States.
@@codelessunlimited7701 I didn't mean to offend anybody but I know alot of Filipinos from other states saying they experienced thesame. I have worked with so many FIlipino RNS who got their bachelors degree from the PI and work here as care givers or CNA'S. theirs nothing wrong about being a CNA here. I have alot of respect for them infact I used be one and they make more 3× than what doctors make their if doctors really make over 50k. Let's just say, Filipinos are over qualified, United States is one of the countries that is more ahead when incomes to their educational system. If Filipinos are overqualified, States should be recognizing their educations. This doctors and nurses from the PI should be able to pass the licensure here in the US if they are over qualified. I have a big respect to our country but honestly government should put more budget to expand our school system.
You are doctor in Philippines, if you go to the states, you start from scratch. Your MD license is not valid in the states. Filipino doctor from Philippines end up going for nursing in the states. Medical school in the states pick you as a student. Four year medical school tuition is $220,000 for 4 years. After that another 3 or 6 year residency if they pick you.
Very expensive naman ng med school sa Pinas tapos pagdating mo sa Canada d mo naman mapapractice eh universal naman ang mga kaalaman dyan d tulad ng Law that you really have to study again because laws in other countries are different from ours. Mey kilala akong doctor sya dito dapat pa syang mag upgrade sa Canada, take another exam so he had to work as taxi driver muna to save for that... pag sito naman sila, well, kaya nga nagpaCanad eh...😄
@@IanStaMaria It is still affordable in the PH to become a doctor compare to developed country which could be 10X the amount. I think what lacking in the PH is the market of health services.
Let's not be blinded by the fact that after residency training, it becomes a lucrative job...unlike any other job, mabilis tumaas ang sweldo ng doctor...ang office worker baka in 5 yrs, ilang thousands lang...baka di pa umabot ng 50k...so I mean it's super lucrative kasi impossible na we don't see a doctor, it's impossible we don't spend for it kahit d magaling na doctor, mababayaran....d ko gets why they kept saying it's not for the money..😅😅😅 kasi mayaman talaga ang mga doctor, though initially hindi kasi still in training but after they get lota of money...unlike any other worker whose salary don't get higher even until they retire...It's a misconception...you can't be rich initially but after you can become a millionaire or billionaire perhaps 😂

No. if they are rich, you will not see doctors doing vlogs
😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks, very interesting. So medicine in the Phils is for passionate amateurs. True enough. With the money you spend to study and the taxes you will pay lifelong, just buy an agricultural lot, grow your food, live peacefully and be happy (and no doctor needed).
Been there, done that. Paid my dues and now earning well. Not in the Philippines though hehe
what country are you in if you dont mind sharing?
1.2. Million just for the tuition, how about the books, allowance, pre internship. Its more than 1 million. Believe me😢 it will cost you 2-3 Million in private schools.
oo nga tuition fee pa lang un :(
plus cost of living, apartment rent and bills, grocery for 5 years. mga 2-3M nga
I know guys who work as armed security (bodyguard) and he makes 85,000 pesos a month as a supervisor and the others in his crew make 50,000 pesos a month. He too is on call 24hrs.
thanks doc. smart na, mabait na, maganda pa
Mas malaki pa yung sahod ng call center agent sa Doctor ng private hospital, I am really sad about it but yes Doctor is a calling and a mission indeed! If u wanna be rich then be businessman!
But after residency, and once consultant na sila with a lot of hospital affiliations, matic mataas na income nila from professional fees pa lang sa ibat ibang clinics nila
Residency training pa lang kase yang tinutukoy nya sa video kaya fixed lang ang sweldo nya. Pero kung tapos ka na sa residency training ay magiging consultant ka na or also known as "specialista", in which ang salary na ay nakadepende na sa dami ng pasyente mo, at kung malakas ang practice mo at madami patients mo, okay na ang pasok ng pera sayo..
1st step: medical school
2nd step: residency training (fixed lang ang sweldo)
3rd step: Specialista (final step) (per patient na ang sweldo mo 500-3500 pesos per patient consult)
@@marcmagnaye4711 ohhh thanks sa info
randomly was suggested this lol youre beautiful and smart...filipino girls are naturally gorgeous
Yah i know gurl. If gusto mo maging doctor ang goal mo is to help. If gusto mo maging mayaman then mag business ka lol. Alam na namin yarrrrrrn haha!
I live in Canada and I’m studying to become a dental hygienist (taga linis ng ngipin) and I’m paying 1,861,050 php for an 18 month course. Pero worth it naman dahil triple ang sahod annually pag nakatapos. But if I would have to move back to the Philippines, minimum pay lang ang profession na to :(
This is a sad reality here in the philippines :((( but so happy for you and the job you habe there in Canada 😊
Yes true. Doctors here in cruiseship have salary of 10k usd while nurses around 5.5kusd plus commissions and officers status benefits. Sad to say that our Medical Heroes are severely underpaid.
Same lang pala sa other profession ang sweldo depende na lang sa haba ng work experience
Hi Doc Ian! Thanks for sharing this po! P.S. congrats on your engagement :D
Thank you 😊🤗
Kawawa naman kayo….😢. My daughter finished her residency. She works so hard.
How about yung mga commissions na natatanggap ng mga doctor from drug companies? I'm sure that's a lot that's why doctors are so generous in prescribing medicines
yong mga kilalang doctor mas malaki kita. kasi may mga patient na may preferred doctors.
OMG I got disappointed with that salary I'm considering to enroll this coming school year in med school,
Grabe sobrang baba ng sweldo ng residents sa private hospitals :( sweldo lang yan ng fresh grad huhu. Sana talaga doctors are being paid what they deserve hay
Kung may clinic naman, they charge 300 to 500 per consultation alone. In an hour, nakakadalawang pasyente or more. Di pa kasama basic salary nila dyan
@@momon5858 may time pa po ba mag clinic if ever ang mga residents? medyo hectic po yata ang sched nila
@@shekinahshalomcardiente1921 may kilala akong nagmomoonlight sa clinic. Depende naman talaga sa hospital yan
Ganda cguro khit 50k lng but my doc is almost 150k with out books pa but neverthless d money is the pagod n puyat but she survived.
Love this budget-friendly content in Doc Ian's vlog!!! 😍💖💖💖💖💖
Thank u Marc 🤗❤️
i dont think they pay their "fair" share of taxes ... lalo na sa consultations na cash only na doctor. di tumatanggap ng HMO and CCs and di nagiisue ng resibo
Ok, £17142, $21k, and exchange rate varies, but if you can move to the West... fairly well paid salary. £60k= - $80k USD? and that isn't even progressing. I dated a cardiologist / surgeon in Russia, back 2000, and she earned more signing people off from army, than her $50 a month salary. So imagine that then, and now, in USA.
You are learning in ENGLISH, so transferrable. Heck, if I was younger, I train in Ph... and Snr Automation is like top 5% of jobs.
Sana mag increase ang sweldo ng doctor sa pinas god bless
WVSU is cheap but not just anyone can pass the entrance exam there
👩🏻⚕️👩🏻⚕️
Bakit mag dodoctor ka kung ang goal mo ay yumaman? Magnegosyo ka kung gusto mong yumaman as long na you're only an employee there's no way na yayaman ka, at Di ba nagdoctor ka for humanitarian reasons?
I have scholarship from the Military because my dad is a military veteran but ofc I will have to get it im IDC only.
When they get consultation fee... Most if not all don't pay correct taxes... Some doesn't pay tax at all. Rich or not... That is not fair
Great content and down to earth infos. Keep it up! 🙂
Been to many consultations with a different doctor, and everytime none of them issue a single receipt. Feeling nila utang mo pa sa kanila.
Private o public?
May sinamahan akong friend for consultation to 3 doctors, 1k each per consultation, paid in cash. NONE of them issued a receipt. That’s 3k already. Makati med yan ah
@@ninjamania537 private
Lol did u ask? Coz if you ask, they will actually give you receipt
@@kylejarabelo2027 sorry but that mentality is wrong, receipts should be automatically issued by them. Di mo na kailangan manghingi pa kasi aba dapat lang naman! services rendered po ang consultation sa kanila, and taxable po yon. ayaw lang nila talaga magbigay ng kusa 😶 mas madali mag underdeclare ng income.
so proud of ur success🥰 been a big fan of yours for so long na 🥺
thank you 😍😍😍😍
when I was gambling on and off in manila years ago a doctor tried to loan using his phone as a collateral from me to continue gambling.
Thomasian MD rin po doc! This path really is different from other careers, caring for patients>money
Di ako doktor pero monthly salary ng GP jan OT ko lng dito sa UAE 😢😢😢😢
thank you for the honest vid, doc!! this is helpful since im considering taking nmat next yr 💚 take care always, doc ian!!
Awww good luck cheska!!!
@@IanStaMaria thank u doc!! 🥺💚
All I know is that my aunt's cardiologist gets a cut from the hospital every time a patient gets 2D echo or heart ultrasound. They did 2D echo twice on 85 years old patient who is a DNR without telling us. Her primary doctor would refer my aunt to Neurologist, Internal Medicine, Cardiologist I don't know what organ they're trying to salvage. At the end of her admission we paid at least 20k a pop per specialist aide from her hospital bill. Healthcare is a scam. I feel sad for those who can't afford it.
True beh my mom got comatosed for 1 month we paid almost 700k php plus the funeral 200k and other misc, i mean thankfully we got Philhealth insurance, cocolife insurance and other PWD dicsounts of my mom and it lessen to 200k for the hosp bills. I am just thankful that my dad is in Military because The government covered all the expenses after 3 months, i would not know what will i do bcs that time I am unemployed. I am just so sad that every pump to my mom is so much mahal when my mom got the 8th cardiac arrest they got the life support already. And i hate it. That is why I wanted to be a doctor too.
Recently ko lng nabasa tong blog nato. Mahina ako sa inglis eh Sana tagalogin nyo ang mga sinasabi dito sa blog para maintindihan nman namin mahihirap ang totoo. Salamat. Tanong: Bakit pagka doctor ang ginusto nyo sa buhay. Paano nyo Mababawi ang ginastos sa med sch tuition? Maikli lng buhay ng tao.
Hello, thanks for the video. Any stories you may have heard about how much dermatologist consultants make per month on average by chance?
Hii, Doc! I'm a g11 STEM student. Isa ka po sa reason kung bakit gusto ko maging Doctor 💛
🥺🥺🥺
Vocation tlga ang pag ddoctor. si Doc Willie Ong lang ata kilala kong doctor na mayaman cguro dahil family of doctors sila therefore old money?
Anyway I hope tumaas sahod ng doctor, para naman mging comfortable buhay nila kasi for sure passion nila yan, might as well ma rewardan naman sila ng tama.
I heard resident doctors in the US does not get paid but given allowances during their 4 years residency.
Not true… residents/fellows here in the United States are salaried/paid during their training.
I did my residency in Hawaii
PGY1: 75k USD
PGY2: 80k USD
PGY3: 90k USD
PGY4: 105k USD
PGY5: (fellowship) 110k USD
PGY6: (fellowship) 115k USD
PGY7: (full sub specialist/consultant 250k+ USD
Sub-specialist with 10+ years of experience: 350k USD or higher depending on specialty.
But all of us had to pay over 200k USD in tuition and fees during our training
West Visayas State University!! Yayyy
And Iloilo Doctor’s college is 60k per sem
Yung mga kamag anak Kong seaman 400k monthly. 3yrs lng Sila sa college
If you are retired single white male of 55, making 2,323,879.70 Peso per year after taxes, could they have a pretty good life living there?
Sana magincrease ang sweldo ng doctor dito sa pinas
Bilangin nyo lahat ng naka pila sa clinic per day
Hello there, God bless them.
Ecclesiasticus Chapter 38(DRB)
38:12. For the Lord created him:
and let him not depart from
thee, for his works are necessary.
38:13. For there is a time when
thou must fall into their hands:
Wow. 50.000 monthly? nurses in the US make 200 000 pesos monthly after taxes. That's even only in small cities. That's just LPN'S not even an RN. Rns make 3.5 million a year. That's so sad. Expensive nga ang school pero, worth talaga ang pera. LPNS spend atleast 500 000 in tuition fees pero they make 3 million/year. Ka sad kasi yong mga Doctors galing pinas naging care giver sila dito. US schools do not recognize credits from the Philippines which is very sad. Sana maiba na ang school system sa pinas para kahit saan mang lugar accepted ang course credits.
Filipino nurses and doctors are over qualified. But it is US laws that a foreign profession abroad must get through examination before practicing their profession. Kasi each US States has their own creditions on nurses or doctors, some authorized license are authorized in certain States.
@@codelessunlimited7701 I didn't mean to offend anybody but I know alot of Filipinos from other states saying they experienced thesame. I have worked with so many FIlipino RNS who got their bachelors degree from the PI and work here as care givers or CNA'S. theirs nothing wrong about being a CNA here. I have alot of respect for them infact I used be one and they make more 3× than what doctors make their if doctors really make over 50k. Let's just say, Filipinos are over qualified, United States is one of the countries that is more ahead when incomes to their educational system. If Filipinos are overqualified, States should be recognizing their educations. This doctors and nurses from the PI should be able to pass the licensure here in the US if they are over qualified. I have a big respect to our country but honestly government should put more budget to expand our school system.
La salle is already around 300k+
Thanks Doc! God bless po.
God bless!
Amazing..
Unless you have your own specialized practice or go abroad you’d only be doing better than average.
Hi po! May question po regarding medical schools. Which ones do you recommend we include in our options po?
Tingin ko mga OB-Gyn ang medyo may consistent na kita hehe kasi.laging may nagbubuntis and monthly pa sila magpapa check - up.
👍👍👍
Tnong q lng poUng neurologist Po ilng monthly salary sakanila
Grabe, ang underpaid talaga ng mga health workers dito sa Philippines. That's why brain drain is very prominent here😮💨
😅😅😅
Hi Doc Ian!! Thanks po for the info with regards to this♥️♥️♥️ Stay safe po♥️✨
Ily Gabrielle!!! Stay safe always
Aloha Dr Sta. Maria. How hard is it for a Philippine Dr to get licensed and then practice in the US if they got their schooling in the Philippines
You are doctor in Philippines, if you go to the states, you start from scratch. Your MD license is not valid in the states. Filipino doctor from Philippines end up going for nursing in the states. Medical school in the states pick you as a student. Four year medical school tuition is $220,000 for 4 years. After that another 3 or 6 year residency if they pick you.
Hi Doc! is it possible to work while studying in medschool?
Yes! 😃
Grabeee naawa ako Sa Mga Doctors , Lalo Na sa Mga nasa Private Yung 18k-25k Jusko Sahod ko Now Yun eh SHS Grad lang ako E
Great video Doctor.
Thank you!
Very expensive naman ng med school sa Pinas tapos pagdating mo sa Canada d mo naman mapapractice eh universal naman ang mga kaalaman dyan d tulad ng Law that you really have to study again because laws in other countries are different from ours. Mey kilala akong doctor sya dito dapat pa syang mag upgrade sa Canada, take another exam so he had to work as taxi driver muna to save for that... pag sito naman sila, well, kaya nga nagpaCanad eh...😄
About two decades ago it was my dream to become a Doctor. but we couldnt afford it
Ako na gusto lang maging doctor kasi gusto ng 'Dr.' sa name ko 👁️👄👁️
Can you talk about love life ng mga doctors or how do you date one?
Doc Ian pinanood namin to ni mama. Thank you po. Mag nmat na po kasi ako. Goodluck to me po.
Yay go go go Eunice!!! Good luck!!
@@IanStaMaria It is still affordable in the PH to become a doctor compare to developed country which could be 10X the amount. I think what lacking in the PH is the market of health services.
passion
Damn lol a McDonald's worker here in america can make more than a doctor there in philippines 😮
Let's not be blinded by the fact that after residency training, it becomes a lucrative job...unlike any other job, mabilis tumaas ang sweldo ng doctor...ang office worker baka in 5 yrs, ilang thousands lang...baka di pa umabot ng 50k...so I mean it's super lucrative kasi impossible na we don't see a doctor, it's impossible we don't spend for it kahit d magaling na doctor, mababayaran....d ko gets why they kept saying it's not for the money..😅😅😅 kasi mayaman talaga ang mga doctor, though initially hindi kasi still in training but after they get lota of money...unlike any other worker whose salary don't get higher even until they retire...It's a misconception...you can't be rich initially but after you can become a millionaire or billionaire perhaps 😂
Thank you doc!
