I don't think that I should be writing about how the e-HO system works etc because there are PLENTY of blogs out there that have entries on that. What I am going to focus on instead is about what happens before the big day. I was included in the 2nd intake of 2019 in April and the e-HO system for us was on Monday April 1st (which happens to also be on April Fools day) and I got the email on Wednesday indicating that I am included in this intake and that I can proceed to register an account on the e-HO. There were conflicting opinions regarding the kind of information that we have to fill in on the e-HO system..some said the address has to be filled in while others said it would just be the contact number. I got myself prepared for any possibilities and it certainly doesn't help to get myself entangled in all the hoohaa about the system when there's really nothing to get excited or stressed about. Take my word for it, e-HO isn't a big deal at all. Once you log in at exactly 12pm on the said date, most of your info including your address has already been filled up for you. Just fill in your contact number and the number of siblings you have (not including yourself) and then click for the next page that'll require you to choose your pre-degree qualification other than spm (for me it was stpm) and the year you got it and wa-la you're finally on the page where the list of hospitals can be found. Don't waste time clicking on the negeri. Just pick the hospital of your choice from the list as fast as you can and you are done. See? Absolutely nothing to be fussed about. I got my first choice and I don't know why I even racked my head trying to come up with a list of 2nd and 3rd choices when I easily snagged the 1st one from the list. The hospital that I picked at the time when I was about to click on it had around 30 vacancies so I guess it wasn't one of the highly sought after hospitals.. if you are thinking of choosing hospitals like HSA, HTAA, HTF (just to name a few), you will have to be a bit more quicker than the average e-ho candidate. After this ordeal, what's left to be done would be all the paperwork and other tasks that are required off of you before the orientation/ptm. A week later, you can expect to log into the e-HO system to find out where the location of your ptm will be. Besides that, you will also know when you are supposed to go and collect your mmc provisional certificate from the mmc website. Google up e-housemen blogs and you will be fed with an array of information on it including the documents that are required for mmc, ptm and your first day at the hospital. Do not believe people who claim to know best about which hospital you should choose because at the end of the day it is you who has to go through it all and you can't look for them when you mess up. As a Selangorian, I adamantly decided to do my housemanship out of Selangor. Although some 'experts' claim that family support is crucial around this time, I feel that even our beloved family will not be able to do anything when a BHT file gets thrown at you or you get cussed for the most minor of all mistakes so that's a whole lot of BS. What matters is being able to come back to your family once HOship ends and because that's when real life begins. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
