Clinician Scientist CareerS Münster

临床研究和医学进步依赖于对疾病分子和细胞基础的新见解，疾病特异性诊断和治疗方法的创新，以及转化为以患者为中心的临床算法。这需要临床科学家谁都在不同学科的最佳培训和积极的医学研究和临床医学。另一方面，追求临床科学家的职业生涯面临着重大挑战，包括足够的，综合的和受保护的时间进行科学和临床培训，清晰可靠的职业前景，同事之间的知名度和接受度，长期和苛刻的双重培训与家庭生活的兼容性，等等。认识到这一紧迫的困境，需要一个专门的临床科学家职业道路，使研究活跃的医生紧密结合临床和科学培训，并在其职业生涯的各个阶段为临床科学家提供最佳支持。在临床专业化过程中，研究技能和第一个个人研究概况的同时发展是临床科学家职业生涯中最关键的阶段;尽管现有措施已经支持Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität（WWU）医学院Münster的临床科学家，但这些措施不足以解决专业化培训阶段。特别是，我们需要一个结构化的临床医生科学家课程，并将这一重要的职业步骤融入职业道路。因此，我们申请了一个为期3年的CareerS Boost模块，为医生提供受保护但灵活的研究时间，并在专业化期间与临床培训进行最佳整合，以及结构化的临床医生科学家课程，包括研究培训和关键资格的发展以及临床医生和自然科学家的指导。科学家基于当地的研究优势，现有的DFG资助的网络，校内研究结构和基础设施，我们将首先专注于更好地了解器官特异性免疫反应作为主要研究课题。这个全校范围的研究课题还将促进临床科学家，自然科学家，数学家和计算机科学家之间的跨学科研究，以促进翻译策略，并将临床科学家引入新的研究方法，如人工智能，数学建模和计算大数据策略。Boost模块将是我们未来通过MFM长期资助的全系职业生涯路径的核心。

Clinical research and thereby medical progress are dependent on novel insight into the molecular and cellular basis of diseases, innovations in disease-specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and translation into patient-centred clinical algorithms. This needs Clinician Scientists who are both optimally trained in different disciplines and active in medical research and clinical medicine. Pursuing a Clinician Scientist career, on the other hand, comes with significant challenges including sufficient, integrated and protected time for concomitant scientific and clinical training, a clear and reliable career perspective, visibility and acceptance amongst colleagues, the compatibility of a long and demanding dual training with family life, and many others. In recognition of this urgent dilemma, a dedicated Clinician Scientist career path is needed that allows research-active physicians to tightly integrate both the clinical and the scientific training and to optimally support Clinician Scientists at all stages of their career. The concurrent development of research skills and a first individual research profile during clinical specialisation is the most critical phase in a Clinician Scientist career; although existing measures already support Clinician Scientists at the Medical Faculty Münster of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität (WWU), these do not sufficiently address the specialisation training phase. In particular, we need a structured Clinician Scientist curriculum and integration of this important career step into a career path. Therefore, we apply for a 3-year CareerS Boost module that provides protected, but flexible research time for physicians optimally integrated with clinical training during specialisation, and a structured Clinician Scientist curriculum including research training and the development of key qualifications and mentoring by Clinician and Natural Scientists. Based on local research strengths, existing DFG-funded networks, intramural research structures and infrastructures we will initially focus on better understanding of organ-specific immune responses as a lead research topic. This university-wide research topic will also promote interdisciplinary research between Clinician Scientists, Natural Scientists, Mathematicians and Computer Scientists at WWU to foster translational strategies and to introduce Clinician Scientists into novel research methodologies such as artificial intelligence, mathematical modelling and computational big data strategies. The Boost module will be the core of our future faculty-wide CareerS path funded through MFM long-term.
