UCT Intercalated Network
Medical students step out after third year for a research Honours, then return to complete MBChB – some continuing to an MSc or PhD. The programme has run in the Faculty of Health Sciences since 2011. This network is the record and community of everyone who has entered it.

Questions
Common questions
I finished years ago and no longer do research.
Membership is not limited to those still in research. The network records everyone who entered the programme, whatever they went on to do.
What happens to the information I provide?
Each field is chosen by the member and can be changed at any time. Contact details are never public. A member's name and entry year appear on the cohort record, and everything else is by the member's choice. A privacy notice sets out what is held and how to have it removed.
I am not in Cape Town / not in the country.
Membership is open to everyone who entered the programme, wherever they are now.
I did not do the intercalated programme and I want to get involved in mentoring.
Clinician-scientists join as partners. Request to join and say so in the note.
Membership
Open to everyone who entered the intercalated programme since 2011.
