Aleix Prat, Director of the Cancer Institute at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, shared on LinkedIn:
“Clinician Scientists: Bridging Medicine and Innovation
Clinician scientists are the backbone of medical innovation, translating research into better patient care. Yet, this vital role is under threat due to increasing clinical demands, lack of structured training, and limited career paths.
The solution? Structured programs that:
- Protect research time
- Provide mentorship
- Foster career development and global collaboration
Programs like those at Hannover Medical School and Campus Clinic Barcelona show the power of investing in clinician scientists, with returns that benefit science, healthcare, and society.
It’s time to support the next generation of clinician scientists and ensure they thrive!
