Young Academy - PRACTIS (PRogram of hAnnover medical school for Clinician scienTISts)

学术医学的未来取决于医生的科学资格。全面的临床和科学知识的结合，对紧迫的临床问题的深刻理解，以及将这些问题转化为科学有效的假设和适当的研究设计的能力，都是确保医学进步和创新所必需的。临床工作的要求越来越高。这不仅是由于经济压力，也是当前诊断和治疗方案日益复杂的结果。这对于在大学医院和医学院寻求治疗的患者来说尤其如此。考虑到这些情况，许多年轻的医生决定专门从事临床工作也就不足为奇了——特别是如果他们觉得自己成为临床科学家的努力没有得到适当的结构支持，也没有得到长期职业选择的回报。汉诺威医学院临床科学家青年学院项目（practice）的目标是通过提供一个结构化的环境，将复杂的临床培训与前沿研究相结合，培养最有才华的年轻医生。该计划包括提供受保护的研究时间、资助直接项目和旅费、获得关键资格的配套课程和强有力的指导努力，以保证科学卓越和临床技能的发展。申请人是六位临床科学家，他们不仅在临床研究方面有很强的背景，而且在教育方面也有很强的背景。该小组代表了汉诺威医学院的所有中心，并确保来自任何学科的年轻医生都被吸引到这个项目中来。这是一项延长提案，应该允许16名有才华的年轻医生完成该计划。我们提供为期3年的结构化课程，以实现预定的临床和学术目标。配套课程提供必修课程，以获得某些关键资格和广泛的补充科学和临床课程。候选人的选拔是在竞争性过程中进行的。评估了个人简历、项目的科学卓越性、部门支持和指导。随后的职业咨询和指导团队的指导是该计划的重要特点。临床和学术里程碑的持续跟进确保了该计划的可靠性和质量。我们的目标是将该计划纳入MHH职业发展管道，并协调所有参与部门的临床医生科学家培训。为临床科学家建立的机构职业发展办公室确保了可持续性，该办公室监督并与所有机构职业发展计划合作，以克服培训不同阶段的主要障碍。

The future of academic medicine depends on the scientific qualification of its doctors. The combination of thorough clinical and scientific knowledge, a deep understanding of pressing clinical questions and the capacity to translate these questions into scientifically valid hypotheses and appropriate research designs are all required to assure medical advances and innovation. Clinical work has become increasingly demanding. This is not only due to economic pressures, but is also a result of the increasing complexity of current diagnostic and therapeutic regimens. This is especially true for the spectrum of patients seeking treatment at university hospitals and medical schools. Given these circumstances, it may not be surprising that many young physicians decide for an exclusively clinical career - especially if they feel that their efforts to become clinician scientists are not supported by appropriate structures or rewarded by long-term career options. The goal of Young Academy-PRogram of hAnnover medical school for Clinician scienTISts (PRACTIS) was to train the most talented young doctors by providing a structured environment that allows the combination of sophisticated clinical training with cutting edge research. The program consists of granting protected time for research, funding of direct project and travel costs, a concomitant curriculum to gain key qualifications and a strong mentoring effort to guarantee scientific excellence and development of clinical skills. The applicants are six clinician scientists with a strong background not only in clinical research but also in education. The group represents all centers of Hannover Medical School and assures that young physicians from any discipline are attracted to the program. This is an extension proposal that should allow 16 talented young doctors to complete the program. We offer a structured program over 3 years to achieve predefined clinical and academic goals. The concomitant curriculum provides mandatory courses to acquire certain key qualifications and a broad spectrum of complementary scientific and clinical courses. Selection of candidates was done in a competitive process. Personal vita, the scientific excellence of the project, the departmental support and mentorship was assessed. Consequent career counselling and mentoring by a mentorship team are important features of the program. Consistent follow-up of clinical and academic milestones assures the reliability and quality of the program. We aim for institutional integration of the program in the MHH career development pipeline as well as harmonization of clinician scientist training in all participating departments. Sustainability is assured by the establishment of an institutional career development office for clinician scientists that oversees and collaborates with all institutional career development programs to overcome major barriers at different stages of training.
