Clinician Scientist Program

To promote early career researchers and train clinician-scientists in the methods and concepts of systems neurology, we offer attractive clinician-scientist packages that ensure full independence, while offering mentoring by senior scientists. The LMU and TUM neurology departments have agreed to implement a fast track toward board certification ("Facharzt") for these young neurologists. We offer Advanced (see also current call: BMFTR-funded Cinician Scientist Program for Comprehensive Neuroscience (PROMISE) ), and Post Residence Modules:
