Clinician Scientist Program (CSP) and the Advanced Clinician Scientist Program (ACSP)
Medical advancements require physicians capable of conducting high-quality research.
The innovative Linz Clinician Scientist Program aims to give physicians at the Kepler University Hospital sufficient time and space to conduct academic/scientific research by supporting paid leave from the daily clinical routine.
The Clinician Scientist Program (CSP) serves to support junior physicians at KUK who are at the beginning of their scientific career and wish to complete the doctoral degree program in Medical Sciences at the JKU MED.
The Advanced Clinician Scientist Program (ACSP) is a qualification program for KUK medical specialists who have completed their doctoral studies in medical sciences, or who hold comparable qualifications, and aim to pursue post-doctoral qualifications at the JKU MED.
