IKM-rådet inviterer til en spændende karrieredag med fokus på mulighederne for kliniske forskere og undervisere. Formålet med dagen er at: Styrke rekruttering og fastholdelse af yngre forskere i det medicinske felt. Skabe attraktive og realistiske karriereveje for læger, der kombinerer klinisk arbejde og forskning. Øge engagement og meritering inden for prægraduat undervisning. Dagen byder på oplæg fra erfarne forskere og undervisere, paneldiskussioner og mulighed for dialog med kolleger og institutledelse.

Hvordan sikres fortsat pædagogisk uddannelse til kliniske undervisere? 16:30 – 16:45 Pause 16:45 – 17:15 Clinician Scientist Programme, Berlin Struktur, udvikling og implementering Erfaringer fra Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin / Berlin Institute of Health Personlige perspektiver på karriereveje. 17:15 – 17:55 Paneldiskussion Tema: Fremtidens karriereveje og kompetencekrav. 17:55 – 18:00 Afsluttende bemærkninger Temaer og perspektiver for dagens drøftelser Hvordan vi rekrutterer yngre læger til forskningen – især i en klinisk hverdag med stor belastning og behov for work–life balance. Hvordan vi fastholder kliniske forskere gennem tydelig karrierestruktur, supervision, forskningstid, økonomisk støtte og anerkendelse. Karrieremuligheder, stillingsindhold og krav/forpligtigelser (noget overordnet om, hvilke stillinger der eksisterer, hvilke ansøgningsmæssige formkrav der er, og hvad stillingerne indeholder) Hvordan prægraduat undervisning integreres som en naturlig og meriterende del af karrieren – herunder formalisering af undervisningskompetencer. Hvordan både yngre og erfarne kollegaer kan motiveres til at prioritere undervisning, så dette styrker egen udvikling og giver værdi for de studerende. Hvordan forsknings- og undervisningsopgaver anerkendes i ansættelser, karriereforløb og ved opslag af akademiske stillinger. Perspektiv for yngre læger: Fokus på fleksibilitet, tydelig forventningsafstemning, mentorordninger og støtte til balancen mellem klinik, forskning og privatliv. Vigtigheden af udviklingsmuligheder, sikker ansættelse og tidlig adgang til forskningsprojekter og undervisningstræning. "
