Hi Dr Burton, thank you for the (as always) informative video! I’m a second year med-student and I wondered if intercalating on masters degree would fall under the same blanket no points ban that some specialties have? Or whether this is just contained to an intercalated bachelors? Of course I wouldn’t be intercalating just for the points, but I wondered what approach specialties took to this kind of thing.
