Overcoming Physical, Financial, Mental and Sexual Harassment in Postgraduate Medical Residency in India

With a great sense of accomplishment, content, and happiness, having passed one of the most competitive medical entrance examinations in India, a resident joins a residency program after a tedious and exhausting year, or sometimes more, of rigorous studying, endless preparatory tests, and socially isolating from the rest of the world. Admission in a reputed postgraduate government medical college becomes his only objective which he somehow anticipates would expand his reputation in the real medical world after another three years of his postgraduate degree. Entry into the postgraduate program instils confidence, self-respect, passion, and enthusiasm to learn and master the respective field.
