Discussion: Jpa medicine pidn 2009

[khor_jennie]

i am recommended by lawrence to start this discussion among the local medic students. i need ur opinions about the offered of JPA PIDN. As we all know, we had to be bonded by JPA for 10 years once we sign for the agreement. So, i would like to know ur opinions on 'isn't worthy of accepting JPA PIDN?', 'will u accept the offer?', if yes, why? if not, why?

hi jeannie =)

in my opinion i will not accept their offer although its a scholarship. i know many people will definately grab this oppurtunity, but not me.
Firstly, i have to be bonded with them for 10 years. In that period of time, we might never know whats going to happen in the future.
BONDED FOR 10 YEARS BUT DIDN GET TO GO OVERSEAS...
and also possibilities are there might be better offer for you in other places/countries but u cant go because you are bonded!!
I personally do not like the idea being bonded to them for 10 years and thats y i rejected my PIDN (yea i got JPA dalam negara) last year.
And the salary..
working in government hospitals and private hospitals and opening your own clinic..
which is more??
and the environment of your workplace..
your collegues, situation there..

but all those are my personal opinions only and im just voicing it out..
haha
anyways... do consider carefully =)
good luck!!!
