currently a 2nd year med student, seeing an Ali Abdaal variant from one of our own is inspiring. Haven't finished the video yet, but I'm glad I stumbled on this video.
I do landscape and fencing, and I pay my two helpers $15 per hour and if I am too busy, I would hire my friend who does the same type of work and I pay him at minimum $350 per eight-hour day but sometimes pay him 600-800 dollars depending on type of job/profit. Seem like my side hustle working about 5 hours a day selling on eBay still makes more money than a doctor in Philippines. It seems like it's better to study as a nurse and work find work in Europe and the US.
@@temujinkhan6326 Yes. If it's prestige, status one is looking for ie because of societal expectations and beliefs, then doctor it is. Otherwise, it really does not make sense to be one. As one can be of service to the community in ANY job/work/activities one chooses. I think the important ingredient is to do what one is passionate about.
The salaries stated are the ones earned by residents who are still under training. Once they have patients of their own, they can expect to earn much more. Based on some research, it can amount to several millions of pesos for top Filipino doctors, but of course this is still less than their top performing counterparts in North America and Europe. Well, it’s not much of a problem since the cost of living here is much cheaper and doctors don’t have as much legal issues that American doctors are often concerned with.
Government is toxic and they don't exactly teach you during residency, most of the things are done on your own. They will just give you materials to study then proceed with a revalida randomly. Private hospitals have better and less toxic training. They teach more and do provide specific schedules for exams and revalida time to time. But, they pay less. Philippines just can't put both things together and it's sad!! I took surgery for 3 years and quit.
Hello doc karl! I just subscribed I'm glad i found your channel. Doc can you give us an idea what we have to study for qualifying exams in IM residency? Is it general knowledge or purely IM? thank u so mich doc
Sa residency lng nman maliit ang sahod.kya nga sacrifies and plant today.and harvest a plenty of fruits tomorrow.pag my clinic na check up lng 1k.how many patients a day.if a doctor refer a patient in hospital to admit at sila din mismo ang doctor its another story.correct me if am wrong
Hi! As far as I know, when applying for residency, the applicant will be evaluated in 3 areas: Med school GWA; PLE rating; Preresidency performance (preresidency exam/work/interview). The short answer to your question is it depends on a lot of factors. :) If you failed a subject in med school and your PLE rating is fairly decent coupled with great work ethic shown during preresidency, you will have higher chances of getting accepted. As they always say, you have to show that you are teachable and trainable if you wanna get into PGH. Good luck!
@@KarlAvilloMD when you work as a GP or when you become a specialist. FYI as a GP and work for governer like me, you get paid around 10000 peso per MONTH.
@@KarlAvilloMD I’ve always wondered how I would do if I lived in the Philippines. My parents graduated from med school there but emigrated to the states many many years ago. I’m an attending anesthesiologist in the states. I do fine but my cousins who are physicians in Manila seem to do just as well if not better when you take lifestyle into consideration.
For fellows-in-training, higher salary for government hospitals vs private. For the former, ~PHP 70k and for the latter it’s around 30k. For consultants it will be a wider range because your salary will not be coming from only one source which is the hospital. You will be doing private clinic plus medical procedures so there will be big differences.

A lot of hard work and dedication. Unfortunately working at McDonald’s in US makes more than a doctor in Philippines wow!

Current 1st year pre-med student here. Wishing all of us the best and thank you for your wisdom and insights doc! Hopefully I'll be like you someday 🙏
Your blessed and lucky to have an income as a resident. Our batch had to split our salaries because half of our group didn't receive a paycheck

hello doc! I would just like to ask if a failed subject in med school would affect a student's acceptance for residency in PGH. thank you very much!

Wow. In Indonesia, resident dont get salary, but they must pay tuition fee for university.
When do doctors in Indonesia start getting paid?
@@KarlAvilloMD when you work as a GP or when you become a specialist. FYI as a GP and work for governer like me, you get paid around 10000 peso per MONTH.
@@indrabeni8810 100k or 10k peso?
Punta sa US, haha exam ulit, aral ulit, haha pero tyagaaaa😎😎😎
There's always an option to go abroad. I think its worth a try.
I want to become a dr in the philippines but my family can not afford can you help me po?
May overtime pay po ba ang mga RODs?
Hi! Sadly, wala. 😔
Do we need to pay the hospital to be their resident? Or are we considered as a staff once we started our residency training? Hehe
The latter one. 😃
Hi Doc, how about the practice based family medicine residency training?
How much does an attending doctor make in the Philippines?
Hi! The answer to this question depends on several factors, such as the doctor's specialty, place of practice, and years of experience, among others.

How much do I have to pay for the doctor's consultation
Hi! It depends on what you're consulting for and what type of medical attention you need. It varies a lot! 😊
Also depends on the institution. The more prestigious the hospital, expect higher consultation fees
Doc, how much does an average consultant earn?
It depends on the subspecialty. There's a very wide salary range among them so I can't give an average number. 😃
What language do they speak in the hospital?
Mostly, doctors and patients speak Filipino. 😃
@@KarlAvilloMD , most patients speak English in private hospitals.
