Educational Scientist

Educational Scientist

While the concept of clinician educators has been well-established in medical education in the Anglo-American world for decades, this science track possibility is still underrepresented at medical faculties in Germany.

With the Educational Scientist Programme, the Medical Faculty of Tübingen offers opportunities to be active in the medical context whilst at the same time focus on medical education and training. This includes for example the development and implementation of evidence-based teaching units, support on career tracks already established at the faculty (e.g. Master of Medical Education, MME), as well as the faculty's own continuing scientific pathway in the area of teaching and educational research (habilitation).

The aim of the Educational Scientist Programme is to promote outstanding scientists in the context of evidence-based, applied medical education.
