Clinician Scientist Program

To promote early career researchers and train clinician-scientists in the methods and concepts of systems neurology, SyNergy offers 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 towards board certification ("Facharzt") for these young neurologists. SyNergy offers Early, Advanced, and Post Residence Modules (Early: for young clinical residents (year 1-3 year of their residency) / Advanced: for adavanced clinical residents (> 3 year of their residency) / Post: just finished residency).
