After completing the pre-clinical phase of a Doctor of Medicine (MD) curriculum, undergraduate medical students may choose to add a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in health sciences to their MD degree. Limited data exists on the motives behind students' decisions to undertake such intercalated degrees. Hence, this study aimed to identify the factors that influence students in making this choice.
