Filipinos, whether Muslims or non-Muslims, were not unaware of the known situation of unrest in Mindanao for decades. As one of those who have experienced seeing fireballs from canyons, attending to evacuees who have lived with their endless hopelessness, and shaking grounds during the Pikit war in Cotabato and Sulu, memories can never fade and sometimes even haunt the already peaceful situation you live in at present. But this experience would just be a drop of sweat to those who have fought in War with bullets on their faces and bleeding wounds ignored with the task to defend their rights, families, and God.

Tears, words, prayers may never be enough to forget the pangs of painful torment, distrust, discrimination, belittling,  misjudgements resulting from plain misunderstandings- religious or personal issues. Photos of pregnant women and children dying, husbands unarmed and innocent. But Allah is the best of all Healers and as doctors with iman, we can only hope and dream more that a brighter future awaits the Bangsamoro.

That the Bangsamoro will strengthen not only its Moros but the rest of the Filipinos as well. That its leaders will become the role models that will continue to inspire more Filipinos in unison.

Today marks another historical event for Muslims in the Philippines.

InshaAllah (God willing). Subhanallah (Glory be to God). Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). Allahuakbar (God is the Greatest).

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...
