"Alhamdulillah, September ended with a medical mission for 121 sisters at the Correctional Institute for Women. Jazakallaahu khayran katheeran to our doctors from the Islamic Medical Association of the Philippines, and Unilab for sponsoring some of the medicines given to our dear sisters"- MSBS


IMAN- It was a great opportunity having served an often neglected community of women in the correctional, where most have been abandoned by their own families due to imprisonment.  Some are mothers and wives themselves, some former breadwinners. Faith can further be at its lowest in this kind of environment but Alhamdulillah, the Correctional Institute for Women in Mandaluyong respect an interfaith relationship among its inmates and even conduct livelihood projects to keep them productive. Beautiful wallets with swarovski-like beads in different designs and colors as well as creative national flag key chains were just among the items for sale at individual shops inside the institute. Muslim Sisters Bridging Society (MSBS) has made an effort to share their legal expertise spearheaded by Atty Aisha Malayang as well as provide Psychosocial support with Muslim Psychologists like Prof Jane Marie Dimacisil. Dr. Nadhira Mangondato, OB Gynecologist and Dr Naheeda Mustofa were among the IMAN physicians present.

Tips on taking the PSBIM

By
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!

By
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...
