Abstract

Medical faculties are responsible for high-level training, not only on clinical skills but also on scientific research and medical advances. There is an evident need to promote academic careers to ensure the continuity and improvement of top-notch health care. Even if Switzerland is one of the countries with the highest medical density per inhabitant, the lack of interest for academic careers has increased, resulting in difficulties to form clinician-scientists and ensure succession. In this article, we reflect on the challenges and the potential solutions in the training of an academic career.
