Manila—The Islamic Medical Association of the Philippines, Inc. (IMAN) joins various Muslim organizations throughout the metro in “Towards Peace 2015: Embracing our Imaan, the Philippine Tour” last March 1, 2015 at Philippine Trade Training Center, this city. This event, the last leg of a series of Islamic lectures around the country (Cotabato, Cagayan De Oro, and Marawi), was led by internationally known lecturers Mufti Ismael Menk and Brother Wael Ibrahim as guest speakers. Just in the Manila event, more than 2,000 participants attended in what could be considered as among the biggest convention of Muslims in Manila.

More than two thousand particpants came from around the Metro Manila

Alhamdulillah through Allah's help and with the efforts of our sister Dr. Jannah Valdez, a fellow IMAN Doctor an also an active member of the New Muslim Care Philippines, a collaboration with the organizers was implemented and IMAN became the official medical partner for the said event.
During the whole event, a medical booth was provided wherein IMAN doctors and volunteers were stationed to address any necessary medical needs of the participants, and even the volunteers as well. Alhamdulillah there were only few minor cases and they were all handled accordingly.
A great number of Muslim doctors, medical students and members of the allied health also came and expressed their interest in joining the IMAN team. Membership forms and brochures were given to those who were interested.

Among the IMAN doctors who were present in the event were Dr. Saud Basman (Orthopedic Surgeon), Dr. Al-Nasser Maca-alin (Infectious Disease Consultant), Dr. Almira Zoraida Fernandez (OB Gyne), Dr. Jannah Valdez (Pediatrics), Dr. Naheeda Mustofa (Internal Medicine, Clinical Nutritionist), and Dr. Zhamir Umag (Board Secretary). There were also volunteers from the allied health fields and medical students who helped.
Medical supplies, beds and necessary emergency medicines were Alhamdulillah provided by our partners like the Department of Health (DOH) and the New Muslim Care Philippines. The Bureau of Fire Prevention (BFP) also provided a single unit of Ambulance which was used to transport a single patient who collapsed by the end of the event.
Alhamdulillah it was indeed a wonderful experience and also great opportunity for IMAN to serve the participants and the volunteers who needed medical attention. Alhamdulillah and in sha Allah, may Allah accept this deed, Allahumma ameen.

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...
