According to Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines, the service commitment period is as follows:

• 4 years for Singapore citizens

• 5 years for international graduates and Singapore Permanent Residents

The service commitment period excludes the first year of postgraduate (residency) training, commencing only after satisfactory completion of the first postgraduate training year. More information can be found on the Ministry of Health website.

There is no service commitment for PhD graduates.
