“Study/review your lessons by heart, understand them, don’t just memorize and entrust everything to God.”
Acing
the board exam, just like in any other course, is utterly the beginning of a
victorious career. It is a monumental juncture that every student aspires of
crossing someday. And it seems like RTRMF College of Medical Technology has never
drawn to a close as they produce another topnotcher succeeding last year’s
Franz Lenard Barreto who ranked 6th.
Edrian
Medina Lucinario garnered a rating of 89.60 percent, enough for him to land as
number six among 915 aspirants of the March 2013 Medical Technology Licensure
Exam. He graduated as the Academic
Excellence Awardee S.Y. 2010 – 2011.
But how is this awe-inspiring feat accomplished?
Lucinario shares his experience on being a top-grade Medical Technologist in
the making and finally emerging as one of the par excellence there is.
• How
did you prepare for the board exam?
“I
did a lot of preparation for the March 2013 Medtech board exam. One of those
was planning and organizing my schedule in the entire review process (I have
given myself a year for the whole preparation). After that I stayed at home and
self-reviewed for almost 8 months, reading all my books, notes and reviewers.
Then at the end of each subject that I’ve finished I tried answering
questionnaires to evaluate my progress. Lastly, I spent my last 3 months of
preparation in the review center I enrolled in Manila (ACTS review center).
There they taught me everything I need to know regarding the board exam like
things or lessons that I didn’t learned during my self-review, tips and
strategies in answering the exam etc.”
• How
did the RTRMF education help you become a board topnotcher?
“I
am very thankful and grateful to RTRMF especially to my Professors/Class
instructors for they did not only share their knowledge and expertise to their
students but they also inspired us not only to pass and graduate but to have
passion and dedication in our career. They also kept us motivated, and they
taught us not to give up easily especially during hard times.”
• How
does it feel to be one of the top 10?
“Honestly
until now I still can’t believe that I am one of the top 10 of March 2013 med
tech board exam. Kaya nga pag tinatanong ako kung paano ko nagawa yun, sinasabi
ko nalang na nakachamba lang ako. Nakakahiya kasi. Hehe but of course I feel so
blessed and thankful to God that he has chosen and entrusted me the
responsibilities of being a part of topnotcher.”
• What
kept you going during the entire preparation/studying process?
“My
loved one‘s especially my family, classmates, colleagues, friends, and my
girlfriend who’s very supportive. And also my strong will to help my family and
at least to repay them for all their sacrifices and all the money they spent
just to send me to college and to God whom I dedicate all my achievements in life.”
• What
are your plans after passing the board exam?
“Pursue
as a medical technologist in a laboratory.”
• What
is your advice to students who will take the Medical Technologist Licensure
exam in the future?
“Study/review
your lesson by heart, understand them don’t just memorize and entrust
everything to God.”
Truly, a topnotcher is neither built
as an overnight success nor a few months of intensive review. The roadmap to
becoming a true top-grade Medical Technologist starts with a commitment to excellence
and with a relentless passion for high-yield and fun learning experiences early
on in the school journey. Along with, paramount among others, is the incessant
faith in God to make one’s dream a parchment of reality.
