F. REPORTING AND CASE PRESENTATION:

 15 topics are assigned for reporting and at least 2 reporters will report for every meeting
 The leader should assign each member with a topic once Dr. Degamo announces the list of
the topics to be reported, since all of you will be required to pass all the powerpoint slides a
day before the 1st reporter will start reporting.
 Note: Di ni niya i-open dayon pero magexpect na gyud siya na nakabuhat na mog
report tanan. Also, he will require you to submit another copy of the slides 1-2
days before your scheduled reporting especially if 3rd and succeeding reporter
naka. He will also chat you on his feedback, corrections, and unsay dapat i-
improve sa imong slides.
 The sequence on Dr. Degamo’s list will not follow because it will depend on the topic of
interest, so always ask him of the topics to be reported for the next day.
 You will also submit a Word document titled “Table of Contents” of the reportings

I. SPECIAL ENDORSEMENTS:
 This rotation is stressful (in a good way/ bad way sometimes) and challenging but you will learn a lot
especially if you did not take our 3rd year Radiology subject seriously. (Malipay naka makasabot ug
chest x-ray sa usa ka patient na naay pneumonia. HAHAHA)
 Dr. Degamo shares a lot of tips and things that we have to know at our level so if possible take notes.
Also, he might ask these tips and things as questions during the succeeding days or reporting.
(Mangluod si Dr. Degamo if wala mo nagtake notes kay basig nagsige ra daw siyag yawyaw unya
kita daw sigeg tando niya diay to wala nakasabot)
 When he says “I screenshot or take note of that table”, please do so because he might also ask them
as questions during the succeeding days or reporting.
 If possible, after the reporting, ask questions!!! (+5 points ni so take advantage gyud kay lisod ang
oral exam; may na lang naa na kay pondo)
 If you don’t know the answer to the question, politely say you don’t know. He might assign it as your
assignment (send it via the FB groupchat) or he will just say the answer.
 Don’t forget to submit the online evaluation forms, too.
 Enjoy this rotation bahala nagmastress ka ig ingon ni Dr. Degamo na musulod si Dr. Labajo (ana sila
terror daw ni siya and very particular especially when questioning). Tinabangay lang gyud mog tubag
sa mga pangutana. Laban!
