 2. Magsaliksik tungkol sa maaaring maging propesyon mula sa isa sa mga kursong
napili.

A. Doktor (Dalubhasa sa larangan ng Neuropsychiatry)

Maaaring maging isang doktor ang isang indibidwal kapag siya’y nakapagtapos ng isang
undergraduate degree o sa kontekstong ito, isang premed course. Maaaring kumuha ng
kurso na nagbibigay pokus sa siyensya at medisina ang mga indibidwal na nais maging
doktor, pero pwede ring maging doktor ang mga kumuha ng kurso na walang kinalaman sa
larangan ng medisina.
Habang ang isang indibidwal ay nasa kaniyang premed, maari na siyang kumuha ng NMAT
o ang National Medical Admission Test na kailangan upang makapagpatuloy sa Med School.
Ang mga prestihiyoso na mga ospital tulad ng Philippine General Hospital, University of the
East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center, at UST Hospital ay tumatanggap lamang
ng mga indibidwal na nakatanggap ng mataas na marka sa kanilang NMAT.
Pagkatapos ng apat na taon na premed couse, maaari nang magumpisa ang isang indibidwal
sa kaniyang paglalakbay papunta sa laranggan ng medisina na dagdag limang taon pa. Apat
na taon na pag-aaral at isang taon na internship sa ospital ng med school na kaniyang
pinasukan.
Pagkatapos ang mahigit na walong taong pag-aaral at isang taong internship, maaari nang
kumuha ng Philippine Physician Lisensure Exam ang mga nagtapos.
May iba-ibang sanga ang medisina na maaaring tahakin ng mga naggtapos ng medisina.
Maaari silang:

a. Mag-moon lighting
Ang moonlighting ay pag-trabaho sa labas ng residency. Maaaring magpalipat-lipat
ang isang doktor sa kung saang ospital s’ya magtrabaho sa ilang araw, depende sa
pangangailangan ng ospital sa ekstrang doktor.

b. Mag DTTB (Doctor To The Bario)

Isang programa ng Department of Health na naglalayong magdala ng mga doktor sa
mga lugar na walang mga doktor o medical professionals.
“To ensure quality health care service to depressed, marginalized and underserved areas
through the deployment of competent and community-oriented doctors.”
Nagkakaroon ng Masters Degree sa Public Health ang mga doktor na nakakatapos ng
DTTB program. Kumpara rin sa isang resident, mas Malaki ang kinikita ng isang DTTB na
umaabot sa salary grade 23.
 c. Mag simula ng sariling klinika bilang general practitioner sa isang private practice
Maaaring magumpisa ang isang doktor nang kanyang sariling klinika subalit, hindi pa
siya matuturing na isang spesyalista.

d. Magumpisa ng Residency sa isang ospital upang mas makapag aral tungkol sa nais
kunin na specialty.
Depende sa nais tahakin ng isang doktor, maaari syang pumili ng isang specialty o
sangay ng medisina. Ang haba ng residency ng isang doktor ay nagiiba, depende sa
kaniyang nais tahakin. Pagkatapos ng tatlo hanggang limang taong residency, kukuha
siya ng kaniyang sub-specialty na mas nagbibigay pokus sa laranggan ng specialtyi na
napili ng isang doktor. (Halimbawa, isang paediatrician na nais bigyang pokus ang
pagaaral sa mga puso kaya kukuha siya ng sub-specialty na cardiologist).
Upang maging isang NEUROPYSCHIATRIST, ang isang doktor ay dapat makatapos ng
residency sa psychiatry na nagtatagal ng tatlong taon, at tatlong taon pang muli para sa
neurology. Desisyon na ng doktor kung nais nya pang kumuha ng subspecialty sa kahit
anong larangang nais niya.

Matagal na panahong tatahakin at isang ‘di pangkaraniwang propesyon, ngunit sa huli

ng lahat, marapat at marangal, lalo na’t napaka kaunti na lamang nang mga doktor sa
bansa, at hindi nauubos ang mga kababayang dapat pagsilbihan.

Ayon sa estadistika, malayong malayo ito sa rekomendasyon ng World Health

Organization (WHO) ang kalagayan ng medical staff sa bansa, na dapat ay hindi bababa
sa 23 doctors, nurse at midwives ang nakalaan para magkaloob ng agarang serbisyong
medikal sa bawat 10,000 katao. Ito ang dahilan kaya tatlo sa bawat limang Pilipino na
namamatay ay hindi na nakakapagpasuri pa sa doktor.
Bukod dito ay bigo din ang Pilipinas na makamit ang ratio na 1 Psychiatrist sa bawat 50,000
populasyon. Ito ay dahil lumalabas sa record na mayroon lamang 490 psychiatrists sa bansa o
isang psychiatrist sa bawat 250,000 mga Pilipino.
