Oh. Internship matching season na again? Haha. Remember, the popular choice isn& #39;t always the right choice.
1. Location - convenience of home or the thrill (and sometimes, misery) of living alone. Both are okay, choose which your circumstances dictate. As for me, I have been away from home for most parts. A year of decent breakfast was all worth it.
2. Resources - can the family afford to send you away? Relatives that can take you in? Consider cost of living esp now that we& #39;re in a pandemic.
3. Where do you want to practice? Internship is the best time to establish network. Some hospitals can be "territorial" i.e. if you didn& #39;t train under them, it& #39;s less likely that they will accept you for residency.
4. Exposure - if you spent clerkship in a public hospital, why not try private ones for internship? Best time to compare both setting. You will realize a lot.
5. Gusto mo ba mapagod or magpa-chill? Realistically speaking, nakakaburn out ang clerkship. So depende sa energy level mo. :)
6. Internship program - ask for the specifics. Duty hours, stipend, dorm, requirement, conferences, general environment, board reviews, etc.
If you think about it, anywhere can be a place for personal and professional growth. Know what you want and it will lead you to the right choice.
