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, medical and/or places:
“Armies, for the most part, are made up of men drawn from simple and peaceful lives. In time of war they suddenly find themselves living under conditions of violence, requiring new rules of conduct that are in direct contrast to the conditions they lived under as civilians. They learn to accept this to perform their duties as fighting men.”
—Gil Doud, U.S. screenwriter, and Jesse Hibbs. Walter Bedell Smith (Himself)
“One fellow I was dating in medical school ... was a veterinarian and he wanted to get married. I said, but you’re going to be moving to Minneapolis, and he said, oh, you can quit and I’ll take care of you. I said, “Go.””
—Sylvia Beckman (b. c. 1931)
“Traveling, you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
