The UMCG has an active talent programme, the Junior Scientific Masterclass (JSM), that stimulates medical students to combine their medical studies with research activities. This enables them to obtain their MD and PhD degrees simultaneously (the JSM MD/PhD programme). For supervisors, these trajectories have proven to be helpful to start and continue their research lines.
We offer PhD students a training programme with many research-related courses, as well as a project management course and the Career Perspectives Series.
AIOS (MDs in medical specialist training) with a PhD can apply for a Mandema Stipend. This stipend will offer them the opportunity to build their own research line and the time needed to prepare a national and/or international personal junior career grant application.
