Does 3rd yr subject better to be Semestral or Yearly? --> Chika Abalahin Minute special

  Welcome again to Chika Abalahin Minute, this time I will post a blog on about a 3rd yr medical school curriculum which is does all subject needed to be semestral or a yearly basis. On the school that I came from, all 3rd year subject are semestral even the subjects that are annual on other schools But in my terms my answer that there are subjects that needs to Annual subject because of the following reasons 1. These subject must not be rushed, rushed subjects as per experienced means some topics are not discussed but they are important to know not just in practice but because in the Physician Licensure Exam here in the Philippines these topics are also asked, some are missed are even frequently asked in the subject 2. If all subject in the 3rd year are semestral, they are rushed subjects, since there is no time to discuss all of the subjects, again there will be missed topics thus increasing the chances of mistake when the board exam comes out. 3.
