Medicine Board 2009 Second Placer Dr. Erick Mendoza to Speak at Gamman Open House

Gamman Lord Erick Sta Maria Mendoza, August 2009 Medicine Boards second placer, will be one of the speakers at the “Gamman Open House: Get to Know GBE” scheduled on November 13, 2009, Friday from 4:00 – 6:00 PM at Room 219, UST Medicine Building.

Lord Erick became a Gamman brod in January 2005, a solo member of the batch 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS. He hails from Meycauayan, Bulacan.

Lord Erick graduated Magna Cum Laude from the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery in 2008 and Cum Laude from BS Biology Accelerated Program from the UST College of Science in 2004.  He took his internship at the UST Hospital and plans to specialize in Internal Medicine, also at the same hospital.

When asked for a message to Thomasian medical students, especially to future GBE brods, he had this to say:

“Study hard and be the best of what you can be but don’t forget to enjoy every day of your med school. Med school is very demanding but never let it be reason enough to miss out other things in life you still want to do.”

“Your stay in med school will be much more meaningful if you have mentors, brothers and friends whom you could share every victory or hardship you will encounter along the way.”

“Hail GBE!”
