    Latest information for US clerkship from Fatima!

    A friend of my who attending Fatima rite now told me recently that the US clerkship-Fatima are famous for-is having big problem. They dont have enough slot for their students to go in Chicago, and the NY rotation is at D.O school anyway. Most states will not accept credit from D.O school. So before u attend the Fatima make sure you ask them to guarantee you a slot in forth year. Otherwise, i dont even know what will happen to those students that dont have any slots for US clerskship. Good luck.

    Trauma, correct me if I understand it wrong: You mean any school in the Philippines or certain school in teh Phil you can pick where do you want to do your clerkship? Is this gonna include the US hosp if they let you?

    I think FEU and Fatima are the only two schools that allow their students to do clerkship in US at the end of third yr. But as u can see all are not well at Fatima clerkship rotation in US. I think for my friend what frustrated him most is that the school is giving him a hard time to find his own hospital to do rotation, even if he could find them. After all it's not his fault that the school some how didnt get enough slots for their students. What kind of adminstartion would not have seen that problem a year a head of time? I mean u know how many foriegn students u have and how many want to do in US. All you got to do make sure that they have the slot-simple phone call a year ago would have clear the issue-but NO. They wait until now to tell their students not enough slot at the end, when they are already setted to go home. Oh well, all i can say is Go UST. Good luck to those going Fatima. bye

    Not entirely accurate. Most Philippine schools will allow you 2-3 months of US hospital clerkships. Only Fatima and UERM and one of the Cebu schools (in southern Philippines) will allow you to take most of your clerkship in the US. However, you have to consider the number of students doing this and Fatima should have been upfront and honest with them at the beginning how many slots are available. If you have passed your Step 1 after your 2nd year there are a lot more options as a lot of US hospitals require Step 1 passing for clerkship but most students there can't take their Step 1 before clerkship.

    Trauma, do you know what school in cebu does the clerkship in the US? I'm looking at CIM right now but Cebu Doctor's College is my other choice. I grow up in Davao so Manila is not my first choice.

    It might be Cebu Doctors but you have to check with their administration. I got this from a post a long time ago. CIM is a better school in terms of Philippine Board but you don't need that, so check with Cebu Docs if they allow a lot of rotations in the US.

    Thanks for the info trauma, I tried to look for the website of Cebu Doctor's right away but the website that they have in the other forum is wrong( if it is the right school); they changed to a university now, I don't know if it is the same school. It says Cebu Doctors' University of Medicine is that right?

    It is the same school. There is a population explosion even in Cebu that's why a lot of schools are expanding and Cebu Docs offer so many courses (their Nursing is also well-known) so it became a university.

    Cebu Doctors University(just changed from 'college'), but im not sure about CIM, but id say there is a good chance of it because I know cousins who have done it. Maybe even Southwestern and Univeristy of the Visayas but you have to check on that
