hey guys, just wondering if MBBS students get paid for doing hospital rotations? I really want to do MBBS but it would be difficult not having any income for 6 years other than a casual or part time job.

no why would we

you're a student

and gl keeping up a part time job during clinical rotations...

Yeah as fatboi said, your a medical student - you pay to study and attain your degree.

So no, you don't get paid during your hospital rotations / clinical placements.
You only begin earning money once you've graduated (5-6 years) and your an intern.

I know plenty of people who part time with clinical rotations, it can be done.

I really hope this isn't a factor in your decision to try for med.

you can definitely work while doing clinical rotations. but mostly only on weekends and nights except for a few rotations which may require you to do overnighters e.g. ED, OBGYN, paeds etc

sounds like a busy lifestyle but would hopefully be worth it

Work night hours. You get paid pretty decent. That's what what one my relatives did when he did his MBBS at USYD.
