Hi guys!! Check out my latest videos πSharing with you guys a glimpse of my medical life lately.
WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/3izwIi9hY28
A little background, I was actually doing my month-long pre-residency in Pediatrics for the whole month of October. If you guys don't know, pre-residency is part of your residency application so your performance and attitude during pre-residency will play a part in your acceptance to the residency program you chose. I know most of you thought I was still in Siargao or working elsewhere, but I was actually already preparing for residency π
There were so many things happening in the background for the last 3 months that I didn't share on social media but since it's official that I'll be starting residency in 2022 (I got accepted YEE), I wanted to share with you some of my experiences for the last 3 months starting with these videos.
You guys were there when I was a medical student.
You guys were there when I was a medical intern.
You guys were there when I passed the physician licensure exam.
You guys were there when I decided to take a year off and do moonlighting.
And now I guess it's time to take you with me to medical residency. I know residency will be tough but with your added support, I know it will be of great help π Thank you for always supporting me and watching my online medical diary unfold through videos.
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!! I LOVE YOU ALL β€οΈβ€οΈ
Also, let's get to 100K soon? β€οΈ YAAAS

hi everyone!! It's been awhile since I posted here in our little community space, but I have uploaded a new Siargao Diaries for you guys πWATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/pQRfqZGEXwY
If there's anything, you guys have loved my Siargao Diaries series when I worked there as a doctor. And I went back! I hope you guys love this Siargao Diaries special as I enjoyed making it. Siargao has always been so close to my heart and it's one of the reasons why I fell more in love with my chosen specialty. I have a lot of upcoming vlogs this December so stay tuned for it! :-) Love you guys!
XOXO

Hi guys!! I'm sorry I haven't been uploading consistently at the moment, I just spent a lot of time with my family and haven't been vlogging as much and creating videos. This is the first time in a looong time that I've been at home for more than 1 week, so I've been trying to catch up with my family a lot. I was in medical school in Manila for the most part so I barely got to see my family so it's been refreshing to spend time with them.
BUT BUT BUT!! Wanted to be more active while I still have time on my plate, so please drop your video suggestions or maybe you guys want a specific topic covered in a video let me know as well.
I BELIEVE IN YOU FUTURE DOCS!!!!!
Love,
Doc Ian ;-)

hi everyone!! hope you're all doing good! Just a reminder to always wash your hands, sanitize, use face masks and go out ONLY when it is for something very important (and make sure to practice social distancing). I know you probably heard this a million times but just wanted to keep on reiterating it because we have really seen a surge in the number of cases.
Also, I'll be back on YT for the month of August before I go back on a hiatus again, so give me your video suggestions π
P.S. You guys requested for a study with me video so expect one from me soon! π It's what I always do in my day so I guess it's just right if I film one of my study sessions.
Thank you guys! Love you all π

Hey guys! Hope you are all doing fine!! I just wanted to come up here to say since it's already July and I'll be starting my formal board exam review, I might not be as active as I was on YouTube. BUT! No need to worry because I already prepared videos for you guys to watch (scheduled uploads) while I'm busy studying lol so just stay tuned for it - they're not as much, just a few videos that I was able to come up with and edit last month. However, I won't be able to comment back to you guys as much and talk to you and do some premieres because I'll be busy in my study cave. I hope you'll understand. In the meantime, please enjoy the videos that I've posted.
If you're curious about what I've been up to, you can read the text in the description box of my upcoming videos to know.
Getting nervous already while typing this because my anxiety lvl has gone up LOL
Pray for me!! Love you guys! :-)

Hi guys! How are you? :) Hope you are all safe!! Here's a throwback picture of me on my very toxic birthday duty π baka naman 5 admissions sa madaling araw noh? π But also, this top is thrifted!! Like 20 pesos thrifted because i mean, fashion doesn't have to be expensive π (yes i love ukay ukay)
Also, I hope you guys take a stand lalo na with what is happening in our country and the world right now. Let our voices be heard because we are all humans and we have our human rights to defend. Let's all help each other out during this time. Also, regardless of color, race, religion, gender, we're all humans and each and everyone of us deserves respect.
