Explore the possibilities of a fulfilling career combining your clinical practice with health research.

Our Life as a Clinician-Scientist symposia are designed to inspire health, medical and sciences students, early career researchers and clinicians to pursue a career as a clinician-scientist.

What is a clinician-scientist?

Clinician-scientists combine clinical practice with health research, allowing them to take their insights from working with patients to answer fundamental scientific questions and ultimately improve patient care.

Our online Allied Health symposium offers a unique platform to hear from leading experts in the field and learn about the many pathways to this exciting career.
