Medical School Fees in Malaysia
*updated on 26/7/2014
I love my medical school years! . Despite the ups and downs there are a lot of things I learnt while in Med school.
I studied in International Islamic University Malaysia (Kuantan) Kulliyyah of Medicine Batch 2008. Reminiscing, the cost I have to pay to go to the medical school is very minimal. I got a scholarship from JPA, with a 10 year bonded contract. Upon breaching the contract, I will have to pay a sumptuous amount of RM 250,000. That amount translates to about, USD 80,000. Cheap for a medical school. My clinical years were in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Hospital Temerloh, and Hospital Pekan. We even went to Kg. Bantal, that is deep in the heart of Pahang, near Taman Negara.
A rural training. But not so backwards. Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, mat not have a Cardiothoracic service yet, but it has a Cardiology Dept at least. Now, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Dermatology, and Respiratory all are available for specialist consultation. Not bad hey. I know certain medical schools couldn’t even get to see a Cardiologist for their cardiology sessions.
The total cost of my studies is a cheap one. I earned roughly about RM 3500 per month ( RM 40 K/ annual ) and well that’s ok if you live in Kuantan. USD 1000 for medical doctors. Not much but it pays the bill. My smaller brother may earned more than I do now, he works as an engineer in a big GLC.
I research some of the medical school fees in Malaysia. I found this website. Private medical school fees.
To sum up,
1.International Medical University (IMU) RM 370,000 kaching!
2. Monash University Malaysia Campus RM 450, 000 kaching!
3. Penang Medical School RM 500,000 kaching!
4. Melaka Manipal College RM 300,000 kaching!
5. Asian Institute of Medicine, Sciences and Technology RM 250,000 kaching
6. Royal College Medicine Perak RM 278,000
7. University College Sedaya RM 250,000
8. Allianze College of Medical Sciences RM 310,000
9. Cyberjaya University College of Medicine RM 250,000
10. Management and Science University MSU RM 300,000
11. MAHSA University College RM 250,000
12. Taylor’s University College ? RM 300,000
13. read more from their website
But in the end, all of these graduate will eventually become housemenship. So university have to buck up to produce the best graduates. All knowing graduates.
Now Russian graduates have a very bad reputation in local hospitals. Indonesian grads also having the same notorious attention. So buck up!

Isn’t there like a compensation or transfer of credits? Any input!
