[Neelu Bhasin]

The Duke-NUS (Duke University and the National University of Singapore) Doctor of Medicine (MD) programme is built around a pioneering 'Clinicians First, Clinicians Plus' vision. It stems from our belief that graduates should be competent clinicians first, and beyond that, build on their other capabilities to become clinician scientists, innovators, educators and leaders to value-add to the Singapore healthcare system.

The Duke-NUS MD program is a 4-year graduate program. Students are awarded the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) jointly by Duke University and the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Service Commitment

As the cost of medical education at Duke-NUS is subsidized by the Singapore Government, all graduates of its MD programme or the MD-PhD track are required to fulfil a service commitment.

If this service commitment is broken or unfulfilled, liquidated damages – pro-rated according to the bond period not served – must be paid off to the government. The amount of liquidated damages is based on the government subsidy granted and compounded annual interest.

According to MOH guidelines, the service commitment period is as follows:
4 years for Singapore citizens
5 years for international graduates and Singapore Permanent Residents


Completion of National/Military Service

Male Singapore Citizen and Singapore Permanent Resident applicants are expected to have fulfilled their National Service (NS) obligations before matriculation.
For international applicants required to serve in their home country’s military, a few points should be kept in mind.
While “Leave of Absence” (LOA) is in place for a number of academic, research, and personal reasons, this is contingent on approval by the Student Promotions Committee.


Completion of an Existing Bond

It require one to Duke-NUS who have previously accepted scholarship offers with service commitment expectations, to directly confirm with the respective sponsoring organizations whether or not one is eligible to join Duke-NUS, and how this may additionally impact the future service commitment to the Singapore Ministry of Health.
