very interesting, because before I started medicine, I had been inclining myself to take Oncology as my specialty. Recently, there are a lot of other choices that I'm now inclining myself into, like Internal Med, Gastro (i'm taking it as a sign kasi ung 2 cases namin sa MPPRC are all GI case, then decury facilitator is also a Gastroenterologist, tapos ung adviser namin sa FilChiMSA is also one), Lab Medicine like Micro and parasitology (ito lang ata ung subject na super okay ako) haha ;) and also Radiology (because of MPPRC)
Surprisingly, the results of this Aptitude Test, gave quite "accurate" results.

nakakagulat no? ung nasa top 4 ung mga inclinations ko.. surprisingly Oncology placed 10, and Infectious diseases (which i think un din ung parasitology and microbio) placed last. Dermatology? nakakatuwa, we haven't taken it up, we'll see sa 3rd year.
I was planning this.. I'll take Internal Medicine, then subspecialize as Gastroenterology then subsubspecialize as Colon cancer etc heheh ;)
oh well, have many 2 more years to go before I graduate, many time to think ;) baka sa 4th year (clerkship) magbago pa isip ko ;)
