Bonded Medical Places (BMP) Scheme
The Bonded Medical Places (BMP) Scheme is intended to provide more doctors for areas experiencing doctor shortages. Twenty five percent of all first year Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) medical school places are allocated to the scheme. Students accepting a BMP commit to working in a district of workforce shortage area of their choice (outer metropolitan, rural and remote areas) for a period of time, equal to the length of their medical degree, less any credit obtained through Scaling.
