Programme-specific research and education tracks
The current catalogue lists a 5–12 month research fellowship at Groote Schuur Hospital/University of Cape Town and a one-year research fellowship at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Centre; both are on hold. It separately lists one-year Medical Education and Simulation at UCSF, not currently accepting applications. These are distinct programmes and do not share a single intake.
