As COVID-19 continues to affect the lives of people globally, Cebuano physicians from the University of Cebu School of Medicine say the pandemic was a major setback for newly-licensed doctors.
According to Awit, her family asked her to return home as they believed it was safer for her to be with them. During this time, the cases in Cebu City had just encountered a huge spike. “Our internship was cut-off by March of 2020 so we weren’t able to go to the hospitals to do our internships. It felt weird being stuck at home but we also thought this was an opportunity to study for our board exam,” said Calog.
Calog also mentioned that despite wanting to immediately take up residency, like her peers, she needed to consider the welfare of her family first before making any decision relative to her situation She recalls having to cut off from social media as much as possible to stay focused during the review. Awit added her mother would join her for online mass to pray for the upcoming board exam.
