DOH Chief Urges New Doctors to Join Government Service
In an electrifying call to arms — or should I say scrubs? — the Department of Health (DOH) chief has made a heartfelt plea to the 3,845 newly minted physicians. Apparently, these brave souls now possess the coveted license to practice medicine, and the DOH is “urging” them to leap into government service.
Ah, the joys of being a fresh-faced doctor! It’s not just the white coat and stethoscope; it’s also the delightful bureaucracy. But hey, someone’s got to keep us healthy, right? And if that means paying back a bit of student debt with long hours in a government hospital, so be it! They might as well start practicing on the couch; after all, that’s where many of us spend our health crises!

Results: October 2024 Physicians Licensure Examination
Breaking news: this October, an astonishing 3,845 hopefuls tossed their hats into the conical medical ring known as the Physicians Licensure Examination. And before we gasp in awe, let’s remember — it’s quite the challenge, like trying to catch a greased pig on roller skates! These brave contestants had to flex their medical knowledge while praying they weren’t too distracted by memes of “Dr. Strange.”
With the epidemic of reality TV shows, the pressure must have felt like being on a cooking competition without any experience — everyone’s busy measuring their success as they watched the clock tick down. But guess what? They did it! And their victory lap is filled with excitement, promises of good healthcare, and probably a hefty amount of leftover study snacks!

SLU SOM is 9th Top Performing School in October 2024 Physician Licensure Examination
Hat’s off to the Saint Louis University School of Medicine! They’ve proudly claimed the title of 9th Top Performing School. I mean, let’s take a moment to appreciate this is an academic institution, and not Hogwarts! Students didn’t exactly have a spellbook to help them with anatomy, right?
No “abracadabra” was needed; just late-night studying, caffeine overloads, and a bit of sheer desperation — you know, the usual recipe for success! It’s proof that persistence pays off, or perhaps just that they had the right textbooks — the kind that spoke to them in the middle of the night, encouraging them not to give up on their MCQs.
