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:
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
“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)
“They said I’d never get you back again.
I tell you what you’ll never really know:
all the medical hypothesis
that explained my brain will never be as true as these
struck leaves letting go.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken—and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.... I wish I could care what you do or where you go, but I can’t. My dear, I don’t give a damn.”
—Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949)
