11. Frequently Asked Questions
1. I cannot log into E-NIPS despite using the right credentials. Why?
Your account might not have been approved yet. Check for the email
notification of approve and/or personally do a follow-up to the medical
school’s PGI staff.
2. I forgot my password. How can I reset it?

Click the “Reset Password” under the login box. A system-generated
password shall be sent to your registered email.
3. Why is my application still not forwarded to the hospitals?

The three requirements (true copy of grades, dean’s certification and proof
of payment) must all be uploaded and validated prior to the forwarding of
application to the hospital.
4. I made a mistake in selecting hospital choices. Can it still be modified?
We recommend to always double check the hospital selection before
submitting. Write a letter of request to APMC Executive Director (Dr. Ramon
L. Arcadio) stating the reason for modification. The request is still due for
evaluation.
5. My classmates were already matched to hospital but mine remains

pending. How is that possible?
The speed of being matched varies depending on the promptness of
hospitals to record results and if the hospital chosen is a first choice. If the
application remains pending, it means that higher ranked hospitals have not yet
recorded results. FINAL MATCHING RESULTS will be known on or before the
start of the next round.
4. I was not matched in the 1st round, how can I apply for the 2nd round?
Log to your E-NIPS account and click “Apply for Internship”. In the
dropdown list of hospitals, you will be seeing hospitals with remaining slots
after 1st round. Select hospital choices. The application will immediately be
forwarded to the selected hospitals. No re-uploading and re-validation of
documents anymore since it has been done in the 1st round already.
5. I did not apply in the 1st round, can I register for the 2nd round instead?
Yes, of course. Procedures for 1st round application will still be followed
including documents uploading and validation.
6. I was not matched in the first two rounds, how can I apply in walk-in?
Log to E-NIPS to check the remaining slots after 2nd round. Unlike in the
first two rounds, you will not going to select hospitals from the system during
walk-in round. Secure a letter of endorsement from APMC then visit your
preferred hospital. Return the letter of acceptance to APMC for encoding into
E-NIPS.
7. Can I go directly to hospitals without going through E-NIPS?

No. At the end of the internship application period, APMC generates the
list of matched internship applicants and submit it to PRC. If you are not in
E-NIPS, then you are not be included in the PRC report.
