Abstract

Increasingly, more universities are showing an interest in offering combined degrees (most commonly research-based) with their medical degree. Intercalated degrees often require the medical student to take time off their medical course in order to pursue the second degree full-time. Concurrent degrees, on the other hand, do not usually require taking additional time to complete; rather, they are integrated into the medical curriculum. Exposing medical students to the array of opportunities offered by their academic institutions will hopefully allow interested students to pursue studies in an area of their preference, at a pace of their own and for a cost (time and financial) they could afford. This article explores the different degrees offered around the world to students in combination with medical degrees.
