SSMIG/SSGIM Research Commission
Inspiring the next generation of GIM researchers
Responsible communication/marketing, SSMIG
Patient-centred clinical research in general internal medicine (GIM) makes an important contribution to better medical care for patients in Switzerland. This requires talented and motivated young researchers. At the 6th Spring Congress of the Swiss Society of General Internal Medicine (SGAIM/SSMIG) in Lausanne from 1–3 June 2022, the Research Commission of SGAIM is organising a specific training with networking opportunities for young researchers in order to attract them to an academic career and provide them with targeted support.
Research questions, funding problems or the search for mentors: In order to motivate and support aspiring young GIM physicians to pursue an academic career, a workshop entitled “How to jump-start your research career in Internal Medicine” will be held at the upcoming SGAIM/SSMIG Spring Congress. Here, experienced researchers will share tips on the challenges of clinical research and academic career planning. The moderated workshop will be rounded off with a presentation by Professor Mitchell Feldman from San Francisco on the topic of “Mentoring”. Finally, an Apéro will close this session with the possibility to network with fellow young researchers and potential mentors. Don’t miss it!
