What to do after med as a first gen doc?
Hello!
I am still a struggling med student here in the PH but I can't help but think about life after med school. Sa totoo lang, gusto kong umalis ng bansa dati pa dahil na rin sa dami ng issue rito lalo na sa healthcare system natin at bulok na pamamalakad ng mga nasa pwesto pero heto ako, nasa Pinas pa rin. Napakadali para sa mga kaklase ko na magplano na magabroad na lang agad after med dahil may kaya sila at koneksyon doon pero ako, I don't even know if that's a possible route for me. Kung palarin, magiging 1st gen doctor ako in a few years pero syempre, gusto ko rin umasenso at makaalis sa current financial status namin ngayon ng pamilya ko. I want to give them a better life but I just don't know how. Is going abroad the way to go? Do I stay here in the PH and choose a field na in demand? Should I teach and go moonlighting? I don't know how to plan this ~realistically~. If there are first gen doctors out there who came from humble backgrounds and are living comfortably now (comfortable, not rich rich), please guide me po! Thank you!
