M. C.
◈ Studied Associate in Midwifery
◈ At City University Of Pasay (formerly Pamantasan Ng Lungsod Ng Pasay)
◈ Graduated 2007

list bulletAbout my college education: Being a Public School of course we encountered some problems like where we can conduct our class everytime that we are in the school and not in the hospital. Sometimes we have to search for vacant classrooms so that we can do our classes there. On the lighter side it was a pleasant experience having most of our class in the hospital (Pasay General Hospital). We feel that we belong there.
As a student you need to be patient, know how to deal with problems.

list bulletMy current job: Team Leader - Skiptracing Department

list bulletAm I using what I learned in college: I have finished a medical related course. I wasn't able to practice it in my current work but I am using other skills that I have acquired during college (problem solving, long patience etc.).

list bulletHow long did it take to find a job: Around 4 months.

list bulletDo I recommend studying Diploma in Midwifery: I would recommend this course because health workers like midwives are in demand not only in the Philippines but most especially abroad. It is such a fulfilling career especially we handle lives of not just the newborn baby but most especially the mother.
