First graduation within the Clinician Scientist Programme ICON at the Medical Faculty Mannheim

For translational medicine, in order to bring findings from basic research to the bedside as quickly as possible, funding is always a very important factor. With the Clinician Scientist Programme ICON (Interfaces and Interventions in Complex Chronic Conditions), the Mannheim Medical Faculty of the University of Heidelberg supports physicians in residency training and gives them the opportunity to dedicate about half of their time to their research.

Dr. med. Manuel Winkler, M.Sc. now received his specialist certificate in the field of dermatology being the first graduate of this programme. His research time was credited to his further training as a specialist. Due to a special agreement with the North Baden District Medical Association (BÄK) within a joint pilot project, this is possible under certain circumstances for up to 12 months. Please find more detailed information in the press release. (in German)
