The University Medicine Essen Clinician Scientist Academy (UMEA) aims to promote excellence in Medicine. Since its start in 2019, the Faculty of Medicine and University Medicine Essen achieved a number of structural and scientific aims. We competitively recruited and established career paths for 35 talented clinicians endowing them with protected research time and specialist clinical training in an internationally-competitive research environment. Additionally we recruited and prepared 28 high-ability junior clinicians at the start of their residency training to pursue an academic career by introducing junior clinician stipends. We installed additional career development measures and successfully established step-up career opportunities for advanced clinician scientists (UMEA², BMBF funded advanced clinician scientist programme 2021) to become independent principle investigators and attain leadership positions. Research within UMEA is conducted in three Translational Excellence Areas focusing on the Interfaces between: Brain and Heart, Oncology and Immunology, and Transplantation, Immunology and Infectiology. Research activities bridging the three areas were established to form new research consortia and resulted in recent invitations for full grant proposal of 2 further SFBs and 1 GRK. Moreover, digital health data research and machine learning have been established as a new research asset to support precision medicine and interconnect the three Translational Excellence Areas. In particular the faculty’s new Institute of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and the new GRK 2535 offer exciting perspectives for young clinician scientists’ research projects in UMEA’s second funding period.

大学医学埃森临床科学家学院（UMEA）旨在促进医学的卓越。自2019年成立以来，埃森大学医学院实现了一系列结构和科学目标。我们通过竞争招聘并为35名有才华的临床医生建立了职业发展道路，使他们在具有国际竞争力的研究环境中获得受保护的研究时间和专业临床培训。此外，我们招募并准备了28名高能力的初级临床医生在他们的住院医师培训开始追求学术生涯，通过引入初级临床医生津贴。我们实施了额外的职业发展措施，并成功为高级临床医生科学家（UMEA²，BMBF资助的高级临床医生科学家计划2021）建立了晋升的职业机会，以成为独立的主要研究者并获得领导职位。UMEA的研究在三个卓越领域进行，重点是大脑和心脏，肿瘤学和免疫学以及移植，免疫学和免疫学之间的接口。建立了连接这三个领域的研究活动，以形成新的研究联盟，并导致最近邀请另外2个SFB和1个GRK提供全额资助提案。此外，数字健康数据研究和机器学习已被确立为一项新的研究资产，以支持精准医学并将三个卓越转化领域相互连接。特别是该学院的新的医学人工智能研究所和新的GRK 2535为年轻的临床科学家在UMEA的第二个资助期的研究项目提供了令人兴奋的前景。
