Life as a Clinician-Scientist South Australian Symposium will encourage and inspire medical and health sciences students, junior doctors, and health professionals, and early career researchers to better understand the life of a clinician-scientist, and how to pursue this rewarding career pathway.

Join us in Adelaide to learn about the many pathways to this exciting and rewarding career, which leads to a lifetime of challenge, discovery and fulfilment. Our expert presenters will also discuss how to master the skills necessary to succeed in combining clinical practice with medical research.

Our Fellows, alongside other senior, mid- and early-career researchers, will share their stories about how the unique combination of clinical medicine and science allows them to work with patients and take their insights from the bedside to answer fundamental scientific questions, then use those insights to improve patient care.
