Current translational medicine fails to sufficiently bridge the gap between bench and bedside. This results in a tremendous waste in research investments and numerous biomedical innovations that never reach the bedside. There is broad consensus that clinician-scientists (doctors/surgeons with a full scientific training) hold the key to bridge this gap.
However, the number of clinician-scientists is declining due to the failure to retain them in the academic and industrial workforce. In order to bridge the gap between bench and bedside, we started the PATHWAY project. We will conduct research to further improve training and career pathways for clinician-scientists and invest in educating this next generation.
