I just had the chance to teach the third year medical students again at Cebu Doctor’s University College of Medicine, my alma mater, this afternoon. I find it interesting how these students interact and how they intently listened to every word I said. I always find it fun to teach and lecture on people who are eager to learn be it the medical students, the residents or fellow doctors. I give lectures here and abroad but the best audience are those that you know are there because they want to learn. And the ones that are there are present because they believe they will go out of the lecture hall with hopes of getting something important from you!!! Is there pressure in giving lectures to medical students? I guess… they are the most critical.
At Cebu Doctor’s, I just learned each student critics the professor at every lecture. I really dont know my score yet hehehe but I guess this practice is great for the teachers to know if they need to change their teaching skills. But am pretty confident with my skills having been voted “Teacher of the Year” by New York Medical College Medical students when I was there during my residency years. For those who will be visiting my website…any feedback? bad or good is welcome!!!
I thank all my students old and new… because seeing you become doctors and successful in your own practice is worth our effort in spending time preparing for our lecture making sure they’re easy to comprehend, easy to digest and worthy of your time. And seeing you blossom to be great doctors in the future is all worth it! Just dont forget to say thank you to those who made marks in your life and who inspired you to be better!
Teaching for me is a great way to share knowledge. I am blessed to have been taught in an institution where sharing of knowledge is the priority. I guess that’s what made my alma mater the Mayo Clinic world famous and that I will forever be indebted in the way medicine is taught and practiced in that institution which I hope I will continue to share to my students, residents and fellow doctors in my everyday life.

I had so much fun listening to your lecture. You made me remember how fun the traditional system could be with the right doctor. You inspired me on how to be a better speaker in our small group discussions. Thank you so much! 🙂

Aside from the knowledge that you are sharing Doctor. I am sure an equally great impact when you do lecture with the students is they are inspired to emulate you and strive for excellence for the ultimate goal of serving others.
