--- Quote from: chid on August 09, 2008, 11:29:23 pm ---What's the main difference between an ERC place and a Bonded Medical place?
So, ERC allows you to take up a metropolitan internship but Bonded means you will be placed in an area of workforce shortage?
But ERC means you spend 2 years away from Melbourne (as opposed to Bonded?)
Thanks

These differences can be found on the VTAC blurc for the course, and the link tooth posted.
Basically, a bonded spot means for every year of medical education you receive, you spend one year working in an area of designated need. These years do not have to be taken straight away, but you are obligated to complete them. Bonded spots are different from ERC as ERC spots have no post grad obligations. You spend 5 out of 6 clinical semesters in a rural location during med school, though 5th year runs a bit differently, so it might be a little bit less or more, dependent on you.
You can be be both bonded and ERC.
Bonded students can still take up metropolitan internships, but you have to fulfill your obligation eventually. But like i said, it's easy to tell which kids had ERC as "a backup" and simply won't enjoy their time in years 3-4 and perhaps even most of 5.

Hey guys.
I thought maybe you guys would be interested in this youtube video.
I'll start by saying its about and made by a Monash Med student (did that grab your attention lol)
It's basically about his life... from VCE into Med and the transition it took. The great thing about it is that he does it in a really comical way which made it really interesting. His names James Callea (his cousin is Anthony Callea lol) and yeh he's a friend of my cousin. I just watched it and I really enjoyed it.... Maybe once some of you guys have watched it I'll tell you some recent updates on how he is going in Med....
