BIH Charité Clinician Scientist Programme

The BIH Charité Clinician Scientist Programme is a structured fellowship programme that combines clinical specialist training with protected time for biomedical research for physicians. It provides a targeted curriculum, defined research time allocations during specialist training and rotational research positions. The programme includes tailored funding lines for different career stages, including a Junior Clinician Scientist line for early specialist trainees. It aims to enable clinically active physicians to pursue a scientific career while minimising delays in clinical qualification.

Protected research time (50% for selected Clinician Scientists; 20% in the Junior CSP), a tailored curriculum, rotation research positions and the possibility to have research time credited towards specialist training.

Physicians in specialist training and clinically active physicians at different career stages; the Junior Clinician Scientist line is for physicians in the first three years of their specialist training.

Participants are selected competitively; local application and selection procedures are managed by the BIH Charité / Charité programme and participating medical faculties.
