35 Young talents are detected early Medical studies Bachelor: PREMs (program to perform research during summertime) Master: master thesis Options courses 6th year, possibility to perform research

36 Doctorates Soon after medical studies MD : Doctorate in Medicine MD-PhD: Doctorate in Medical Sciences (Faculty of Medicine) (3-4 yrs) PhD: 4-5yrs - Doctorate in Sciences (Faculty of Sciences) - Doctorate in Neurosciences (Lemanic School of Neurosciences)

37 MD-PhD, Doctorate in Medical Sciences Program of the Faculty of Medicine MD-PhD: fundamental or clinical research orientation Committee: President Prof. Francesco Negro Admission based on the quality of research projects and mentoring Possibility to get a competitive national grant (Bern) Mentoring (yearly) of doctorates by the MD-PhD committee

38 Outcome of MD-PHDs Career track - current employment (n=22, graduates who completed until 2002) Other Assistant doctors Research position in institutes/industry Senior physicians Assistant or full Professor degree Dr. K. Kuehnle, Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences

39 I would re-do a MD-PhD, if I had to do it again: 8% 3% oui, n=33 non, n=3 ne sait pas, n=1 89% MD, PhD performed between , Faculty of Medicine, Geneva 37 responses/43 surveys sent

40 Academic career for medical doctors (1) Clinical formation (FMH) Scientific intern *NEW* (2011) - 50% research for 2 years, funded by the Faculty of Medicine - 50% clinical - Goal: smooth landing after research, continue basic project, publish - Prolonged time to obtain an FMH

41 Academic career for medical doctors (2) Clinical fellow ( Chef de clinique scientifique ) Usually after 5-8 years after medical studies Awarded by the commission recherche et relève de la Faculté de Médecine Based on a scientific project (+ publications) Aspect relève 3 years, 50% or 80% of research Post-doctoral fellowship Anytime after medical studies Usually after a few years of clinical training Funding is frequently a problem!!! - Fonds de perfectionnement des HUG (commission HUG) - Fondations Sociétés médicales - FNRS (chercheur débutant/avancé) - Organisme d accueil
