The Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship (MRBS) Scheme is an Australian government program designed to address the shortage of doctors in rural areas. As part of the scheme doctors are required to work for 20 hours per week in an area classified as RA2-5 for 9 months of the year over 4-5.5 years, once they have attained Fellowship and commenced their return of service period.〔http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/work-st-mrb-scal#4〕 Where these doctors work for the rest of the time is up to them, the location they choose to work in is also up to them. although they are restricted to working in areas classified as RA2-5 for their return of service. There has been some criticism of this scheme in the past and most medical schools are not explicit in how these places are offered. ==MRBS offers== The general scheme of offers that you can receive for medical school includes: MRBS, Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) and Bonded Medical Place (BMP). Most Australian medical schools ask you which offer type you would be willing to accept before they give out offers. They then rank the applicants and offer the MRBS places to the highest ranked applicants, who said they would be likely to accept the offer. These applicants can then choose to accept or reject the offer. If they accept (which generally occurs only after they have read and signed the contract) they enter the MRBS scheme. If the applicant rejects the MRBS offer at this point; the medical school will then offer the MRBS place to the next student on the list and this applicant may be offered a CSP place instead. Each medical school is required to offer a certain number of MRBS places and so will continue to approach students until these have all been accepted. In most medical schools the BMP offers are given to the lower half of the ranked applicants.〔http://www.medstudentsonline.com.au/f35/medical-rural-bonded-scholarship-mrbs-explanation-inc-v-bmp-24812/〕 In some medical schools the CSP offers are given to the higher ranked students, then MRBS and finally BMP.〔http://www.medstudentsonline.com.au/f35/medical-rural-bonded-scholarship-mrbs-explanation-inc-v-bmp-24812/〕 However this is at the medical schools discretion. Once the applicant has signed the contract, their place at the medical school is tied to the MRBS scheme, which means they can't decide to change their place from MRBS to CSP/BMP. Note, this description of medical school offers has deliberately excluded full-fee and international places for simplicity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship Scheme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
