In this Med School Deep Dive, I sat down with Doc Fate Cunanan to talk about what it’s actually like to be a medical student at Angeles University Foundation (AUF) School of Medicine. We break down the big things people care about before choosing a school—how the curriculum feels on a day-to-day basis, what the exam culture is like, and what the overall pacing looks like when you’re trying to survive and still study efficiently. If you’re the type who wants details beyond “maganda naman,” this conversation is meant to give you a clearer picture of what you’re walking into. We also talk about life outside the classroom—how med fits into your routine, what support systems matter, and what kind of student might thrive in that environment. My goal with these interviews is always practical: give you context so you can decide if the school’s system matches your study style, your stress tolerance, and your priorities. If you’re an aspiring med student or you’re already in school and comparing experiences, I think you’ll get a lot from Doc Fate’s honest take and the specific advice she shares.
