The clinician-scientist, or more commonly known as physician-scientist in North America, covers a wide spectrum of roles, but is essentially an individual who holds a medical degree and usually a postgraduate scientific qualification (e.g. MS/MSc/MRes and PhD) and is primarily dedicated to pursuing their academic research interests, which can range from basic science to more translational or clinical research. Clinician-scientists are important players within the contemporary multidisciplinary and interprofessional teamscience approach to cancer research and cancer care. Clinical experience alongside rigorous training in research and scientific methodologies provides a strong foundation for clinician-scientists to conduct and lead research advancing the way we understand and treat patients with cancer.
