Life as a Clinician-Scientist NSW Symposium 2025

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 early-career clinicians and researchers, and medical and health sciences students to pursue this impactful career.

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 NSW symposium offers a unique platform to hear from leading experts and learn about the many pathways to this exciting career.

What to expect

There will be a keynote presentation plus a panel discussion, during which our Fellows, alongside other senior, mid- and early-career researchers, will share their stories about their unique combination of clinical medicine and science. Our speakers will talk about how they got started and how to master the skills necessary to succeed, with plenty of time built in for guests to ask questions.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to sign-up for 10-minute one-on-one mentoring sessions with our expert speakers. Don’t miss your chance to meet these ground-breaking clinician-scientists, and seek their advice to inform your future.
