Hear from our Alumi

ARIANNE BEBIAN B. WIERSMA - Radiology

My residency training at Perpetual Succour Hospital was a transformative journey that shaped not only the radiologist I am today, but also the physician and person I aspire to be. PSH provided me with a strong foundation in clinical knowledge, technical skills, and, most importantly, patient-centered care. The training was challenging, but every difficult case, long duty, and learning opportunity helped build my confidence, resilience, and sense of responsibility. I am especially grateful to the consultants, especially mentors Dr. Ann Co, Dr. Gigi Chua and Dr. Ma. Luisa Tan, co-residents, and hospital staff who generously shared their knowledge and supported me throughout my training. Beyond the lessons learned from books and cases, I will always value the friendships, experiences, and memories I gained along the way. PSH prepared me well for the responsibilities of being an independent radiologist and opened opportunities for continued professional growth. To current trainees and future applicants, embrace every challenge, remain curious, and make the most of every opportunity to learn. Your time at PSH will be demanding, but it will be one of the most rewarding chapters of your career. 

CARLITO ASTILLERO II – Surgery

My experience during my surgery training at Perpetual Succour Hospital was one of the most challenging yet rewarding chapters of my professional life. The training provided me with a strong foundation in surgical knowledge, clinical judgment, technical skills, and, most importantly, compassion for patients. The guidance of my consultants, the camaraderie among co-residents, and the experiences we shared in the operating room, wards, and emergency room shaped me into the surgeon and physician I am today.

Beyond the skills and knowledge, PSH taught me the values of discipline, teamwork, humility, perseverance, and dedication to patient care. The memorable cases, long hours, difficult decisions, and friendships formed during training remain an important part of who I am.

PSH played a significant role in my professional growth and prepared me for the responsibilities of being a surgeon and educator. To current trainees and future applicants: embrace every challenge, learn from every patient, value your mentors and colleagues, and make the most of your journey at PSH.
