The knowledge generated by clinical academics leads to new medicines, vaccines, therapies and technologies that drive improvements in patient care and public health. In addition clinical academics are responsible for training the next generation of healthcare professionals.
There is enormous variety in the range of clinical academic career options. Research and teaching are driving innovation in medicine, nursing, dentistry and many other fields. These discoveries lead to better patient outcomes and make the work itself more rewarding.
