Clinician Scientist
Clinician scientists are physicians who treat patients while conducting research at an internationally competitive level. They play a key role in transferring findings from basic research to patient care and are a vital element of innovation at the bedside.
When physicians conduct research in parallel with everyday clinical practice, both research and patient care benefit. Direct contact with patients brings clinically relevant aspects of research into focus, and creative ideas and new findings can be incorporated into treatment.
Pursuing a career as a physician dedicated to research is a great challenge. It requires a structured and long-term scientific activity alongside the clinical career, in which clinical and scientific competencies are developed and used simultaneously.
