 The time taken to complete the medical course assumes that the MRBS applicant will not fail any years.For example, if you accept an MRBS place and enter into a 5-year medical degree, then you will receive payments for 5 years, totaling somewhere near $125,000 (remember this is indexed each year).If you fail a year or for some reason take an additional year to complete a 5-year medical degree, you will not receive any scholarship payments for the additional year that it took for you to complete the course.
