Contrast With Bonded Medical Places
The MRBS scheme is different to bonded medical places. Some Universities offered MRBS to students who already have a place in medicine. These scholarships are therefore voluntary, and students are not pressured into accepting them with the promise of a medical placement. However some Universities do not. They require a person to sign a MRBS contract before having a place.
In the former case the main benefit of the MRBS scheme is not the promise of a medical education but rather the monetary compensation provided by the government. In the latter case the medical school education is the main benefit, and civil conscription issues arise. The Civil Conscription issue may still arisen the former case as the enforcement of the contract when a person changes their mind about where they wish to serve, faces the fact that such enforcement is against the current choice of the individual. The free choice of the individual at any time is enshrined in the Constitution. Any instrument that fetters that choice at any time is thus invalid at the time that instrument fetters a persons choice.
Unlike the MRBS scheme, students who take bonded medical places must work in an 'area of need'. This could include a speciality in the city that is experiencing a shortage, or an outer suburb of a large metropolitan city. MRBS students must work in a rural area.

Famous quotes containing the words contrast with, contrast, medical and/or places:
“Happiness ain’t a thing in itself—it’s only a contrast with something that ain’t pleasant.... And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain’t happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“In contrast to the flux and muddle of life, art is clarity and enduring presence. In the stream of life, few things are perceived clearly because few things stay put. Every mood or emotion is mixed or diluted by contrary and extraneous elements. The clarity of art—the precise evocation of mood in the novel, or of summer twilight in a painting—is like waking to a bright landscape after a long fitful slumber, or the fragrance of chicken soup after a week of head cold.”
—Yi-Fu Tuan (b. 1930)
“If science ever gets to the bottom of Voodoo in Haiti and Africa, it will be found that some important medical secrets, still unknown to medical science, give it its power, rather than the gestures of ceremony.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“When our hatred is too fierce, it places us beneath those we hate.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
