IMPORTANT
POINTS IN
THE WORK
IMMERSION
INTRODUCTION

The Senior High School (SHS) program within the K to 12 Basic

Education Program equips students with valuable knowledge and skills.
A key component of this preparation is the Work Immersion program.

9
This initiative provides students with a critical bridge between
classroom learning and the realities of the professional world.

Established and reinforced by Dep-Ed Order No. 30, s. 2017, Work

Immersion offers SHS students the opportunity to:
 Gain familiarity with real workplaces: Students experience
simulated work environments, allowing them to observe and
participate in daily operations.
 Apply acquired skills: They put their classroom learning into
practice, solidifying their knowledge and understanding of their
chosen specialization.
 Develop life and career skills: The program fosters essential skills
like communication, teamwork, and work ethic, preparing students
for future success in both education and employment.
Beyond applying their academic knowledge, Work Immersion exposes
students to the social dynamics of a professional setting. These
interactions shape valuable soft skills and contribute to a smoother
transition from senior high school to the realities of the workforce or
higher education.

As outlined in Dep-Ed Order No. 30, s. 2017, Annex A: "Work

Immersion Curriculum Guide," the program is divided into three
phases: Pre-Immersion, Immersion Proper, and Post-Immersion.
Effective pre-deployment preparation is crucial for student success.
Recognizing this need, the "Soft Skills Training Program" was
developed. This program specifically focuses on Communication, Good
Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC), Work Ethics, and Team Building,
ensuring students are well-equipped for their work immersion
experience.

OBJECTIVE IN WORK IMMERSION

10
Work Immersion is a mandatory component of Senior High School
graduation, serving a critical role in preparing students for their future
endeavors. Ideally, students are placed in work environments directly
aligned with their chosen career paths. This immersion experience
offers a multitude of benefits:

 Practical Skill Development: Students gain valuable hands-on

experience under the guidance of industry professionals. This
practical application of knowledge enhances their technical skills
and better prepares them for the specific demands of their chosen
field.
 Bridging Theory and Practice: Immersed in real-world
environments, students witness the practical application of
theoretical concepts learned in the classroom. This connection
solidifies their understanding and promotes long-term knowledge
retention.
 Technical Expertise Enhancement: The program fosters the
development of advanced technical skills specific to the student's
chosen field. This practical mastery increases their competitive
edge in the job market or furthers their success in higher education
pursuits.
 Communication and Interpersonal Skills: Work Immersion
provides opportunities to hone communication and interpersonal
skills in a professional setting. Students learn to interact effectively
with colleagues, supervisors, and potential clients, building a
foundation for successful future collaboration.
 Work Ethic and Professionalism: The program instills the
importance of good work habits, positive attitudes, and respect for
the workplace. Students develop a strong work ethic and
professional demeanor, preparing them for the demands of
employment or further education.
Addressing the Skills Gap:
The mismatch between graduate skills and industry needs is a
prevalent challenge faced by academic institutions. Many graduates
find themselves unable to secure employment due to a lack of specific
job-related skills. These crucial skills, encompassing technical, human
resource, and conceptual abilities, are often emphasized within
academic programs. However, Work Immersion offers an invaluable
opportunity to reinforce these skills through practical application,
bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and workplace
readiness.
Building on Strengths: Synergistic Learning
On-the-job training (OJT) programs, another common course
requirement, further complement the learning experience. These
programs provide supervised opportunities to apply the theories,
principles, and ideas encountered in the classroom setting. Together,

11
Work Immersion and OJT programs create a powerful learning synergy,
equipping students with the necessary skills and practical experience
to excel in their chosen field, regardless of their path towards
employment or higher education.

VALUES AND ATTRIBUTES OF STUDENTS IN WORK IMMERSION

Work immersion is not just about gaining practical skills; it's also a
valuable experience for developing essential values and attributes that
will benefit students throughout their careers. Here are some key
examples:

Responsibility and Work Ethic:

 Students are entrusted with tasks and deadlines, fostering a sense

of accountability and commitment to completing work to a high
standard.
 They learn the importance of punctuality, following instructions,
and taking initiative.

Adaptability and Problem-Solving:

 Work environments can be unpredictable, requiring students to

adjust to new situations and challenges.
 They develop problem-solving skills by thinking critically and
creatively to find solutions on their own or collaboratively with
colleagues.

Communication and Interpersonal Skills:

 Effective communication is crucial for interacting with supervisors,

colleagues, and potentially clients.
 Students refine their verbal and written communication skills,
learning to express themselves clearly and concisely.
 They also develop interpersonal skills through teamwork,
collaboration, and building positive relationships.

Professionalism and Work Attitude:

 Students are exposed to professional expectations in the

workplace.
 They learn proper workplace etiquette, how to dress professionally,
and how to maintain a positive and respectful attitude.

Self-Management and Time Management:

12
 Work immersion provides opportunities to develop self-
management skills like organization, prioritization, and meeting
deadlines.
 Students learn to manage their time effectively to balance assigned
tasks with breaks and other responsibilities.

Initiative and Curiosity:

The best students take initiative by asking questions, seeking new

challenges, and offering to learn new skills.
They demonstrate curiosity about the industry and a desire to learn
and grow.

Lifelong Learning:

 Work immersion highlights the importance of continuous learning

and adapting to changing environments.
 Students develop the ability to seek out new information and learn
new skills throughout their careers.

By demonstrating these values and attributes, students can make a

positive impression during their work immersion experience and set
themselves up for future success in the workplace.

Southeast portion is characterized by thin areas of lowlands starting
from the coast giving way to low slightly slopes of Mt. Apitong,
clustered around mountain are the Barangay of Nipa, Lo-ong,
Poblacion, Tamis-ac, Nino, Macalbang and Plandico, covering about
56% of the mainland area. From Mt. Apitong these narrow strips of
moderately undulating hills branched out like tentacles to all directions
with the longer arms following a general North to South tread. Wedges
between these upland strips are valleys and lowlands that consists the
farming areas of the municipality. Located in these areas are the
Barangays of Bacjawan Sur, Batiti, Jamul-awon. Aglosong and Agnaga,
which approximately occupies 44% of the mainland areas.

Concepcion bay. The furthest island is a far-lung Baliguian which is the
Coral reef. They appear as half drowned mountains jutting out from the
sea and manifested by sedimentary rocks. The mountain and hill
system are so close to the sea that only the narrow strips level land
bordering the shores where the islanders built there clustered homes.

DAY 1: MARCH 11, 2024

Today marked the official start of our immersion program! The day
kicked off with a motivational talk from Principal Balasan. Her words
about working with joy, having strong values, and practicing emotional
intelligence resonated deeply with me. My anticipation to learn and
experience the realities of the working world was practically buzzing.

Following the principal's address, our SHS coordinator and work

immersion teachers, Ma'am Gemanga and others, divided us into our
assigned departments. Before heading to the Rural Health Unit (RHU),

29
we received an orientation from the LGU regarding their policies and
regulations.

By 10:30 am, we arrived at the RHU, greeted warmly by Nurse Gary

Balsamo. He led an informative session in the conference room,
outlining important protocols and procedures for working within the
RHU. We then embarked on a tour with Sir Gary, meeting the amazing
staff and familiarizing ourselves with the various stations and clinics.
Finally, we were assigned to our specific areas – I landed in the trauma
room!

After a productive morning, we enjoyed a well-deserved lunch break at

12:03 am. Since some staff members were still out, we used the time
to relax and chat excitedly amongst ourselves about our upcoming
duties. At 1:43 pm, Sir Carl Azucena entered the trauma room,
transforming it into a classroom. He meticulously explained the
functions of the various equipment and how to use them effectively.
To keep things engaging, Sir Carl assigned us a task – developing an
educational talk on rabies for the animal bites clinic patients! Aravila
and I eagerly volunteered, thrilled at the prospect.

Throughout the day, a mix of excitement and nervousness bubbled

within me. With Sir Carl's guidance, I gradually shed my shyness and
began greeting patients, striving to put them at ease. The unwavering
support and mentorship from Sir Francis Huervas, Sir Carl Azucena,
Ma'am Gemma Zarriz, and proved invaluable. Together, we effectively
interacted with patients, recording their vital signs.

As 4:20 pm approached, Sir Gary checked in with us, offering

additional guidance and emphasizing the importance of proper work
procedures. He introduced a rotation schedule to ensure we
experience all areas – Trauma, Admission, and Pharmacy – over the
next three days. By 4:50 pm, we diligently cleaned our assigned areas
before officially logging out for the day.

Exhaustion washed over me, but it was a delightful kind of exhaustion.

This first day was an invigorating mix of learning, responsibility, and
teamwork. I can't wait to see what the rest of the immersion program
holds!

DAY 2: MARCH 12, 2024

This morning began with a silent prayer, seeking guidance from God as
I embarked on my second day of immersion. Arriving at the RHU at
7:47 am, I found a queue of patients already waiting for the clinic's
opening. After settling in, I took the initiative to clean the admission

30
area and prepare the vital signs monitoring equipment in the trauma
room – a proactive way to ease into the day.

At 9:00 am, Aravila and I were summoned to the second floor for our
moment of truth – presenting our rabies education talk in the animal
bites clinic. A wave of nervousness washed over me as I faced the
attentive audience. However, I took a deep breath and channeled my
courage, determined to deliver this important information. With Aravila
by my side, we presented the key facts about rabies, and afterwards, a
flurry of questions arose from the patients. While Sir Carl was
unexpectedly unavailable due to patient care duties, I found strength
within myself to improvise and address their concerns directly. This
unexpected challenge proved to be a valuable lesson in adaptability
and thinking on my feet.

By 11:50 am, hunger pangs led us to a well-deserved lunch break.

Refreshed and recharged, we returned to the RHU at 12:56 pm. Back in
the trauma room, I resumed my duties, collecting vital signs from
assigned patients. Admittedly, nervousness occasionally caused minor
errors in data collection and recording. Thankfully, my supportive
teammates were always there to lend a hand, ensuring a smooth
process.

Sir Carl's regular check-ins were a source of encouragement and

valuable guidance. He offered helpful tips and insights into working
effectively within the RHU environment. As 5:00 pm approached, we
officially logged out for the day. Exhaustion settled in, but it was a
satisfying kind of exhaustion, a result of a day filled with learning,
overcoming challenges, and teamwork.

DAY 3: MARCH 13, 2024

Today started strong! I woke up with a prayer and a positive mindset,

eager to learn new things at RHU. Arriving at the department, I felt a
surge of anticipation for the day's lessons and experiences.

31
By 8:45 am, patients started filling the trauma room. We began
working on their Individual Treatment Records (ITRs), recording vital
signs and other details before Nurse Charmaine conducted her
interviews.

At 9:00 am, a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) patient arrived. Nurse Carl,
our amazing instructor, took charge, demonstrating how to properly
dress a wound. We started by cleaning the injury with sterile water,
followed by Betadine application. Finally, we covered the wound with
gauze and secured it with tape. Thanks to Nurse Carl's clear guidance,
the dressing was a success! We saw several other patients with similar
injuries, some from motorcycle accidents and others work-related.

It was an eventful morning, but incredibly rewarding. We learned so

much through hands-on experience. After a well-deserved lunch break,
we returned to the department.

In the afternoon, excitement filled the air as Nurse Carl announced an

upcoming island health inspection trip! We'll be venturing to two
islands tomorrow and the day after – the entire team is going!

We finished the day around 5:00 pm, already buzzing with anticipation
for our island adventure. Time to get prepped for tomorrow's mission:
island health inspection!

DAY 4: MARCH 14, 2024

Day four arrived – the day for our island health inspection trip to
Polopiña! I woke up with the sunrise, determined not to miss the
adventure. Reaching RHU at 7:45 am, I found the staff and nurses
buzzing with pre-departure energy. Our ride? An ambulance! A minor

32
hiccup arose when our teammate Axl ran late. The wait had us a little
worried, but thankfully, she arrived just in time – a close call!

After a short ride, the ambulance dropped us off at the pier in Pontalis.
Here, the wait intensified. The scorching sun beat down on us as we
waited for the Bantay Dagat boat. Impatience started to set in, but
finally, the vessel arrived! Teaming up, we all helped load the luggage
onto the boat.

The boat ride was a welcome reprieve from the heat. Finally, we
landed on the picturesque island of Polopiña. A short walk led us to
the island's gymnasium, already bustling with activity. Mothers with
their young children filled the chairs, waiting for the inspection to
begin.

Upon arrival, we sprang into action. Following Sir Carl's instructions,

we divided ourselves into teams, tackling various tasks. As team
leader, I roamed around, ensuring everything ran smoothly and
assisting my teammates wherever needed. The gymnasium bustled
with activity – people registering, nurses conducting interviews, and
doctors examining children. The inspection continued rigorously until
noon.

By 1:00 pm, the last patients had been seen. Doctors, nurses, and
staff gathered for a post-inspection meeting, sharing valuable insights
for future endeavors. Finishing the meeting around 2:00 pm, we dove
into cleaning the gymnasium and loading supplies onto the boat for
our departure.

We arrived back at the pier by 3:30 pm, where the ambulance whisked
us back to the RHU. After cleaning up and enjoying a well-deserved
rest, Sir Carl announced the next island destination: Tambaliza.
However, a heavy heart sank in my chest – a prior commitment, the
DSPC event in Iloilo City, forced me to decline. Missing out on
Tambaliza was a real bummer, but duty called. With a mix of
excitement and disappointment, I logged off at 5:00 pm.

DAY 5: APRIL 1, 2024

33
After a long hiatus, the immersion program resumed today! Returning
to the familiar halls of the RHU felt energizing. As usual, I arrived at
7:45 am and began my day with the customary cleaning routine –
floors, ceilings, and emptying trash. Though primarily stationed in the
trauma room, I'm always happy to lend a hand wherever needed.

Today brought a unique experience – assisting with catheter

replacements. It was my first time witnessing this procedure, involving
replacing and inserting catheters in male patients. Two such patients
arrived – one in the morning and another in the afternoon.

The day was filled with a steady flow of patients. Many came with MVA
injuries, and thanks to our previous experience, we confidently cleaned
their wounds without direct supervision from the nurses.

Around 10:00 am, Ma'am Gemma requested my assistance in the

records room, a treasure trove of patient information. Ma'am Angel,
who oversees the room, needed help organizing the numerous brown
and green folders. These folders, likely numbering well over a
hundred, held patient details categorized by name and location. While
the sorting wasn't completed today, I tackled a significant portion of it.

The records room also houses the offices of Ma'am Angel and Nurse
Charmaine. As we worked, engaging conversations flowed, creating a
pleasant and collaborative atmosphere. When the trauma room
required assistance, Nurse Charmaine would call upon me.
Additionally, Ma'am Angel entrusted me with delivering files to the
Healthy Hearts Station.

Beyond these specific tasks, I handled various other minor

assignments throughout the day. As always, I logged off at 5:00 pm,
feeling satisfied with the diverse experiences and contributions I made
at the RHU.

DAY 6: APRIL 3, 2024

34
Today started with a brisk arrival at 7:30 am. Sharpness is key here at
the RHU – after all, a well-oiled machine runs on time. The familiar
routine of cleaning commenced, the rhythmic swish of the mop battling
the ever-present dust bunnies in a satisfying dance.

The records room became my post for most of the day. Ma'am Angel, a
whirlwind of efficiency with a kind smile, guided me through the
process of sorting patient files. Towering stacks of brown and green
folders, each one a silent story waiting to be unraveled, surrounded us.

The usual flow of patients trickled in throughout the day. Some arrived
for check-ups, their medical histories whispering from their manila
folders. Others sported bandages and grimaces, the aftermath of
minor injuries. We, the ever-reliable cleaning crew, transformed into
wound-dressing ninjas, a well-coordinated team wielding disinfectant
wipes and gauze with practiced ease.

By 5:00 pm, the day drew to a close. While it may not have been filled
with dramatic emergencies, the quiet hum of the RHU held its own kind
of significance. Each patient interaction, each file sorted, felt like a
small contribution to the well-being of the community.

DAY 7: APRIL, 4 2024

The clock struck 7:17 am as I hurried through the RHU doors,

determined to beat the morning rush. After my usual cleaning routine,
a sense of anticipation filled the air. Today, the records room wasn't
calling my name.

A commotion erupted from the trauma room. A patient, wracked with

constant vomiting, needed immediate attention. I joined the other
immersion student, our teamwork kicking in seamlessly. We monitored
his vitals, recording data like synchronized robots, while Nurse
Charmaine, calm amidst the chaos, treated him. Holding the basin for
his vomit was no easy feat. The pungent odor threatened to
overpower, but professionalism prevailed. It was a stark reminder of
the realities faced by medical personnel.

Lunch brought a welcome respite. As we recharged, hushed whispers

about the patient filled the air. Returning in the afternoon, we found
him still battling his illness in the trauma room, following Doctor Judy's
orders. Nurse Charmaine entrusted us with handling other patients – a
responsibility that sent a surge of nervous excitement through me. We
tackled the tasks with newfound confidence, fueled by the desire to
contribute in any way possible.

35
By 5:00 pm, exhaustion mingled with a sense of accomplishment as we
clocked out. Today wasn't just about cleaning or filing. It was a day
that pushed boundaries, a day that underscored the significance of
teamwork and resilience in the face of medical challenges.

DAY 8: APRIL 5, 2024

The familiar routine of 7:30 am found me back at the RHU, ready to

tackle the day. Today, the records room buzzed with activity as I, along
with the other immersion students, joined forces with Ma'am Angel and
Nurse Charmaine to tame the ever-growing mountain of documents.
Sorting through patient files offered a glimpse into countless stories,
each folder a silent testament to the human experience of health and
healing.

The morning unfolded without any major emergencies, but the steady
flow of patients in the trauma room kept us on our toes. We assisted in
whatever way we could, witnessing firsthand the dedication of the
medical staff.

Lunch provided a much-needed break, but the afternoon brought a

surprise twist. Nurse Charmaine entrusted me and the student from
Tambaliza with a mission: to gather data for the Municipal Health
Office's anti-smoking campaign. Braving the scorching heat, we
embarked on a journey through Poblacion. From the MDRRR office to
the Mayor's chambers, and everything in between – the Municipal Hall
and surrounding buildings became our temporary battleground. Armed
with clipboards and pens, we collected names, mobile numbers, and
the crucial detail – smoker or non-smoker. The relentless sun beat
down, and our legs ached from all the walking, but the promise of fruit-
flavored shakes from Nurse Charmaine fueled our determination.

By the time we returned to the RHU, the patient flow had subsided. We
exchanged weary smiles, the shared experience forging a new
camaraderie between us. As we clocked out at 5:00 pm, the
exhaustion was undeniable, but it was overshadowed by a sense of
accomplishment. Today wasn't just about filing or cleaning – it was
about stepping outside our comfort zones, contributing to a public
health initiative, and experiencing the unwavering dedication of the
healthcare staff in the community. The refreshing fruit shakes were
just the perfect reward for a day well spent.

36
 DAY 9: APRIL 8, 2024

After a refreshing weekend break, I woke up with a renewed sense of

purpose. The day began with a patriotic flag ceremony at the Municipal
Hall, a reminder of the community I was serving. Arriving at the RHU, I
was greeted by a tidal wave of patients – a testament to the vital role
it played in the community's health.

Without hesitation, I reported to the trauma room, ready to assist the

nurses. The air crackled with a mix of urgency and care. Patients filled
the room, each case unique. But one particular case stood out. A man
walked in, his arm marred by a deep gash. He explained he'd received
first aid elsewhere, but desired stitches for a proper closure.

Doctor Judy's arrival ushered in a wave of calm authority. She

instructed us to meticulously clean the wound before stitching could
begin. Witnessing the cleaning process firsthand was a stark reminder
of the importance of proper wound care. The tension in the room was
palpable as Doctor Judy began stitching. It was a delicate ballet of
needle and thread, a display of medical expertise that left us, the
immersion students, awestruck. This was our first time witnessing such
a procedure, and the intricate dance of healing left an indelible mark.

Following the stitching, a wave of relief washed over the room. With a
sigh of satisfaction, Doctor Judy finished her work. The day progressed
at a steady pace. We enjoyed a well-deserved lunch break, fueled by
the satisfaction of a job well done.

The afternoon brought another surge of patients. But this time, we

were no longer wide-eyed observers. With the nurses' guidance, we
tackled each case with growing confidence, our earlier training and
observations translating into practical experience. By 5:00 pm, as we
clocked out, a pleasant exhaustion settled over us. Today wasn't just
about assisting patients – it was about witnessing the art of healing
firsthand, a day that underscored the importance of teamwork and the
unwavering dedication of the medical staff.

37
 DAY 10: APRIL 11, 2024

Two days flew by, and I found myself back at the familiar halls of the
RHU. But today held a bittersweet tinge – it was both my last day and
the first for Batch 3 of our immersion program. A sense of
responsibility washed over me as I realized I was now the "senior,"
ready to share my experiences and newfound knowledge with the
eager faces before me. Nurse Carl joined us, a reassuring presence as
we delved into a whirlwind of activity. We treated patients, diligently
gathering vitals and data while conducting interviews. Each interaction
was a chance to put our classroom lessons into practice, a chance to
witness firsthand the human stories woven into the fabric of
healthcare.

Lunchtime brought a welcome respite. Laughter and shared

experiences filled the air as I swapped stories with my fellow
immersion students. The afternoon unfolded with a relaxed pace, the
lull in patients allowing us to reflect on the whirlwind of the past two
weeks.

As the clock struck 5:00 pm, Doctor Mark Celestial gathered us all. A
hush fell over the room as he inquired about our learnings, our
experiences, and the emotional rollercoaster that was our immersion.
His questions prompted a wave of emotions – the initial nervousness,
the gradual confidence, the camaraderie forged with the RHU staff, the
awe-inspiring displays of medical expertise. This wasn't just a Q&A
session; it was a heartfelt exchange. Doctor Mark's parting words
resonated deeply. He spoke not just of academic success but of
empathy, compassion, and the unwavering dedication required for a
career in healthcare. His encouragement fueled a fire within each of
us, a burning desire to make a positive impact on the world.

Finally, the moment of goodbyes arrived. Handshakes were

exchanged, hugs offered, and heartfelt promises to keep in touch were
made. Leaving the RHU felt strange, a mixture of melancholy and
exhilaration. My immersion journey might be over, but the lessons
learned, the experiences gained, and the friendships formed would
forever be etched in my memory.

This past two weeks have been more than just an immersion program.
It's been a transformative experience, a glimpse into the heart of a
dedicated medical team and the community they serve. It's shown me
the power of teamwork, the importance of communication, and the
profound impact even the smallest act of care can have. As I walk

38
away, I carry with me not just a wealth of knowledge, but a newfound
sense of purpose, a burning desire to contribute to the field of
healthcare and make a positive difference in the lives of others. The
journey may be just beginning, but the inspiration gleaned from the
RHU will forever be my guiding light.

REFLECTION

41
Ten days may seem like a brief blip in the grand scheme of life, but my
recent work immersion program at the Rural Health Unit (RHU) was a
transformative experience that stretched far beyond fulfilling a
requirement. It was a journey of discovery, a crash course in
healthcare realities, and a spark that ignited a passion for a potential
future in this field. Each day dawned with a mix of anticipation and
nervous energy, a blank canvas waiting to be filled with new
challenges and opportunities to learn.

From the initial orientation, where Principal Balasan's words about

working with joy and strong values resonated deeply, to the final
heartfelt goodbyes at the RHU, the program was a tapestry woven with
diverse experiences. I witnessed the unwavering dedication of the RHU
staff firsthand. They navigated the controlled chaos of the trauma
room with practiced ease, their calm demeanor a beacon of
reassurance amidst the whirlwind of patient needs. Whether it was
Nurse Carl's meticulous demonstrations or Sir Francis Huervas'
supportive guidance, the staff became not just instructors, but mentors
who fostered a supportive learning environment.

The program wasn't without its moments that tested my resolve. The
initial wave of nervousness as I embarked on my first day was a
constant companion throughout. Presenting the rabies education talk
with Aravila was a nerve-wracking but empowering experience.
Stepping outside my comfort zone to address the patients' concerns,
even with Sir Carl's unexpected absence, fostered a newfound sense of
adaptability and confidence in my communication skills. Assisting with
catheter replacements, a procedure I had never witnessed before,
pushed the boundaries of my knowledge and composure.

However, these challenges were mere stepping stones on the path of

growth. Each hurdle overcome fostered a deeper appreciation for the
complexities of healthcare and the importance of teamwork. From the
camaraderie with fellow immersion students as we tackled tasks
together to the seamless collaboration with the RHU staff, the program
underscored the power of working towards a common goal. This
collaborative spirit wasn't limited to the walls of the RHU. Venturing
out on the island health inspection trip offered a glimpse into the
broader healthcare landscape within the community. Working
alongside the team to ensure the well-being of the residents in
Polopiña and Tambaliza was a humbling yet rewarding experience.

Beyond the technical skills and medical procedures, the immersion

program fostered a sense of community. The warm welcome extended
by the RHU staff, the shared laughter and stories with fellow students

42
during lunch breaks, and the interactions with patients – each one a
unique story waiting to be unraveled – created a tapestry of human
connection. Doctor Mark Celestial's closing words resonated deeply,
reminding us of the importance of empathy, compassion, and the
unwavering dedication required for a healthcare career.

As I walk away from the RHU, I carry more than just a logbook filled
with daily experiences. I carry a wealth of knowledge gleaned from the
program, a newfound respect for the dedication and expertise of
healthcare professionals, and a burning desire to contribute to the
well-being of others. This program wasn't just the end of an immersion;
it was the beginning of a journey. The inspiration and lessons learned
from the RHU will forever be my guiding light as I navigate my future
path, a path that may very well lead me back into the world of
healthcare, ready to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

 CAREER PLAN

Ever since my junior high school days, science has held a magnetic pull
on me. This fascination blossomed into a singular dream: to become a
doctor, specifically a surgeon. Driven by the desire to not only heal
others but also bring immense pride to my ever-supportive parents, I'm
charting a clear course towards achieving this dream.

Academic excellence is paramount. Throughout high school, I'll

prioritize stellar grades in science and math, subjects that form the
bedrock for a successful pre-med track in college. Gaining acceptance
into a reputable medical school is the ultimate goal, where I'll immerse
myself in mastering the theoretical and practical intricacies of
medicine.

This journey is meticulously planned. In high school, I'll excel in science

and math, actively seeking opportunities to participate in science fairs,
clubs, or mentorship programs related to medicine. Shadowing doctors
or surgeons and volunteering at hospitals or clinics will provide
invaluable firsthand experiences. These experiences will not only hone
my bedside manner but also acclimate me to the realities of healthcare
settings.

College will be a period of intense focus. A pre-med track with a focus

on biology, chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry will equip me
with the necessary scientific foundation. Maintaining a high GPA while
actively engaging in pre-med clubs and activities will demonstrate my
dedication. Excelling in the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) will
be a crucial hurdle to overcome. Building upon my high school

58
experiences, I'll strive for further clinical experience through
internships or research opportunities.

Medical school will be a demanding crucible. Academic excellence

remains the priority, but active participation in classroom discussions
and labs will be essential for deeper understanding. Seeking
mentorship from professors and surgeons will broaden my knowledge
and skillset, while research opportunities will allow me to contribute to
the ever-evolving field of medicine.

Residency is the final, rigorous hurdle. Matching into a competitive

surgical residency program will be a testament to my dedication. The
years that follow will be a whirlwind of learning, mastering surgical
techniques, and developing strong teamwork, communication, and
critical thinking skills. There will be challenges, long hours, and
immense pressure, but my unwavering passion for medicine and the
unwavering support of my loved ones will be my fuel. Time
management strategies, a healthy life balance, and the support of
mentors and peers will be crucial for navigating these demanding
years.

"With unwavering dedication and a compassionate heart, I will

transform my dream of becoming a doctor-surgeon into a reality,
healing others and making a positive impact on the world," is the
motto that will guide me on this challenging yet rewarding path. This is
just the beginning, and with a clear roadmap, unwavering motivation,
and the support of my network, I am confident in my ability to achieve
my dream. It's a future where I can combine my passion for science
with the desire to serve others, a future where I can make a real
difference in the lives of countless people.
