Bka meron po na ngexam na sa dubai, ask q lng kung san banda para mkpgpabook sna ng hotel near the area.. Anyone knows po b? Thank u..
@iyanu These are the books that I studied for the exam. Clinical Laboratory Science Review: A Bottom Line Approach by Patsy Jarreau (it is summarized but I find lacking in Blood bank and Clinical chem)
For Blood bank transfusion and Clinical chemistry, I supplemented it with: Success!Clinical Laboratory science by Ciulla Concise Review of Clinical Laboratory science by Hubbard
I did not read the whole Ciulla and Hubbard book, just the sections on Clinical chemistry and Blood transfusion. As for the histology part, I just searched the internet about the basics on histology and what you need to know as a med lab scientist.

hello ask ko lang sa mga nagaapply na for medicals at nakapagapply na. doon bago mabigyan ng HAP ID, di ba may set of questionnaires about health declaration. ano yung sinulat ninyo sa question na "Have you ever had prolonged exposure to TB?" No pa rin ba ang sagot kahit na nagwork tayo sa ospital at endemic naman talaga ang TB sa pinas?

@ophthaqueen I answered No.. tingin ko No ang sagot kse nklagay nmn na "prolonged exposure".. unless ngwork sa Micro n gumagawa ng sputum culture, sa TB Lab or kung phlebo na lagi ngwa-wards sa patients n may TB.. kung sa Central Lab lang ngwowork d nmn tau masyadong expose sa TB..

Dear friends,i am preparing to enter september exam,i am a little anxious bcoz some of the questions here are not in the major areas of knowledge listed by AIMS(as acromegaly,coeliac disease and so on),aren't they commited with the list they have posted?thanks in advance
hi everyone. Sa mga nasa OZ na, kamusta po kau? nakahanap na po ba ng work? Baka naman po pede nyo ako mairefer sa work. Kakapalan ko na face ko hehe.. Been here in Adelaide for 3 months now at very challenging ang pghahanap ng work khit odd jobs. Nag-try na din ako pass online sa ibang state, pede nman daw mgpaalam sa SA na mag-interstate. "it's not what you know, it's who you know" ang kalakaran dito, referrals so hope may good samaritan na magrefer. Passed the medical laboratory scientist exam last year sept 2014. Kati phlebo/ lab technician na work, will grab it. Salamat kabayan.

Tnx

Eto po ung exact email sa akin (which is ang gulo)
This is with reference to your application. We are sorry to inform you that we need not to transact any payment now, as per our lawyer we will have to withdraw your current Expression of Interest as there are certain issues(technical) in the lot of applications which were submitted during that period due to which all case information will not be available to the case/visa officer.
Thus, we will submit a new Expression of Interest for you & will file your visa application once when we receive a new invitation.

Same round of EOI kau ni @ophthaqueen.. lumalakad na ung application nia.. hindi yata legal na MARA agent ung nakuha mo.. wag ka na magbitaw ng money sa kanila. Ikaw na ang mgfile ng visa application mo.. tutal hihingin din nila ang payment sau.. dinedelay lang nila ung application mo..
