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)
“The comparison between Coleridge and Johnson is obvious in so far as each held sway chiefly by the power of his tongue. The difference between their methods is so marked that it is tempting, but also unnecessary, to judge one to be inferior to the other. Johnson was robust, combative, and concrete; Coleridge was the opposite. The contrast was perhaps in his mind when he said of Johnson: “his bow-wow manner must have had a good deal to do with the effect produced.””
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Mark Twain didn’t psychoanalyze Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer. Dickens didn’t put Oliver Twist on the couch because he was hungry! Good copy comes out of people, Johnny, not out of a lot of explanatory medical terms.”
—Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
“The social kiss is an exchange of insincerity between two combatants on the field of social advancement. It places hygiene before affection and condescension before all else.”
—Sunday Correspondent (London, Aug. 12, 1990)
