Title: MBBS?
Post by: cosine on August 11, 2015, 09:56:55 pm: Hey guys,

What is the difference between these three options/courses? (https://i.gyazo.com/87d48ff6968f87e7fbb1b3ba242176d0.png)

The second one on the other hand does, and requires that one works in a rural designated area upon the completion of the medical degree for as long as the degree itself i.e. 5 years. I think you have something like 10-15 years to 'work' this off - but there's also the option of 'paying' off this agreement. They may have changed this for the future, however. If I'm not mistaken, they're shortening this bond to a single year, but I'm not exactly sure.

The last one, extended rural cohort, is basically like the first one except instead of having the ability to preference between metro/rural placements, one must undergo placements in rural areas i.e. basically half of the degree.

Hopefully that's all correct.

Seeing that they've shortened the time, does it mean that you can still pay it off?
If so , does it also mean that its like less than what it used to be? and what kinda money are we talking?
Soz for bumping an old-ish thread
thanks :)
