So the theoretical person isn’t making a choice between their preferred major it’s a medicine degree or not having a medicine degree.
We already do this all the time where we deny people placement into various specialties and programs and even access to university because they didn’t qualify. We think it’s fair because we believe that grades are self determined and people have control so we wash our hands of it. I see this as no different if you wanted to have flexibility you should have qualified for the flexible program it’s cold but no different than discipline selection based on academics.

If you don't want the benefit of having your spot paid for, don't sign up for the program. Or go back and do a new specialty after you've done your rural practice agreement. It's not like people are being forced to do that, whether they want to or not. They get the benefit of getting a spot that wasn't previously available, or getting their costs covered, or whatever, in exchange for working in this location for X number of years.
