Abstract
Medical graduates studying on full and partial scholarships are subjected to a mandatory two years of bonding service program to overcome regional inequalities in the distribution of health workers between rural and urban areas. It might be a challenging journey, but it is crucial for the personal and professional growth of young doctors. Working in places distant from home and medical school can also be difficult, especially when the doctors are not adequately trained. During the bond, young graduates are exposed to a variety of clinical and non-clinical circumstances, which can aid in their maturation.
