A Stronger IMAN inshaAllah

In The Name of Allah,The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful


The recent Sendong tragedy has kept many of us busy with each of our own
donation drives. International communities are continuously pouring out assistance while some NGOs locally aim for long-term rebuilding projects including psychosocial
supports for those who have lost their homes and loved ones.

The Facebook-Twitter and the rest of the networking sites have never been so busy in making things possible that an article or two on this webpage of ours wouldn't be enough to credit all those who helped out for Typhoon Sendong victims.

2011 has been a year full of calamities, Japan's devastating Tsunami topped it all followed by the tornadoes in the US. Not to mention the massive flashfloods in Australia,Pakistan,Thailand and many other areas.

Some are asking, has the global warming phenomena finally reached its peak? Some are now even presuming 2012 the final year of our lives while many remain too busy to even bother.

As our IMAN (faith in Arabic) is put to a test, may we welcome the new year without fear and continue to join together in prayer and in fulfilling what is best for our families, the community, and the country. As Muslim Physicians, may we continue to inspire others in trusting God whatever trial, no matter how rough, lands our way.

A Stronger IMAN in the years to come inshaAllah!

Tips on taking the PSBIM

Assalamualaikum! Residency training in Internal Medicine takes up three years or more of our lives, which mainly involves making rounds, reporting cases, attending RTDs, and research. Taking the Philippine Specialty Board in Internal Medicine (PSBIM), however, requires diligent mastery of the Harrison’s Textbook in Internal Medicine and local Clinical Practice Guidelines, which often can be overlooked by ‘toxic’ duties, fatigued residents, or due to busy clinic schedules of internist graduates.  Reviewing for the specialty board is both challenging and exciting. Challenging, since you would need to memorize and put into heart as many data, algorithms and ‘most commons’ in the textbook. Exciting, since you discover many options on how to review for the exam such as enrolling in an online review course at the convenience of your own home or workplace and learning how to compile a separate copy of all the disease  Algorithms  you will find in the textbook.

Kudos to Dr. Al-Radjid Jamiri!

Surgery entails one of the toughest residency trainings especially in government institutions in the country. Withstanding 5 years of long hours in the operating room almost without sleep, saving a life as an occupation nearly 24/7, serving communities, and living far from your loved ones may be such an exhausting task to many. But Alhamdulillah, this did not tire the spirit of our IMAN Co-Founder and VP Dr. Al-Radjid Jamiri, who already completed his residency training in Surgery at the Philippine General Hospital and even topped the national residency training program in the recently held examinations.  Dr Jamiri has been an active student leader since pre-med days and has helped bring together many muslim students within the institution to come together as a family,including the Islamic Medical Association of the Phils. Without even resting for a month, he will be entering subspecialty training as a Fellow in Colorectal Surgery by January 2013 ,inshaAllah. We wish to co...
