Hello, docs. Hope I don't get negative reactions or thumbs down for this 😅 To clarify, I would NEVER go into residency for this reason. I personally would only go into residency if I'm sure that I truly want it for the RIGHT reasons.

BUT I'm just curious, anyone else ever thought of going into residency because of feeling lost? 😅 Been feeling this way recently because I've been feeling so lost and stagnant, this year, specifically. I just feel like I've been progressing very, very slowly (in life recently.)

Hello. Is it true that the dermatology residents at at Skin and Cancer Foundation, Inc. do NOT have salaries and have to PAY yearly for their training because it's considered a "preceptorship"? Just learned about this info and I'm wondering if it's true and why. Thank you

Hello, docs. For those who has ideas/has trained under PSSAM or AAM?

Which is better? Training-wise, cost, etc.?

Looking for additional trainings and can't decide between these 2 (Philippine Science of Skin and Aesthetic Medicine (PSSAM) American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine)

PS. Also considering PAAAMMI but I'm not so sure. (Philippine Academy of Aesthetic and Age Management Medicine, Inc)

Thank you so much

Hello docs. Do you charge for follow up check ups? i.e. reading of lab results on follow up and other follow ups. If so, how much do you charge? Thank you

It just dawned on me how isolating /lonely it is to be working alone and going on solo duties either as a consultant or as a moonlighter or even as a doctor with your own clinic.

Working each work day being the solo doctor on duty makes me feel so lonely and isolated. I thought the isolating part was over once we got our license, but i'm not sure anymore. :<

Any advice in how to avoid feeling this way? Any stories to share?

Thank you so much
