“There hasn’t been a career structure to step into”: a qualitative study on perceptions of allied health clinician researcher careers

Abstract: Background There are many demonstrated benefits for health service organizations engaging in research. As a result, growing numbers of clinicians are being encouraged to pursue research as part of their clinical roles, including in allied health (AH). However, while the benefits of having clinician researchers embedded in AH services have been well established, the career needs of those engaged in these dual roles are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to examine perspectives of the c… Show more

“…A key finding of this scoping review was that literature focusing on AH research career pathways and progression was lacking. A recently published qualitative study in Australia investigated clinician researcher perceptions of their career opportunities and pathways (Brandenburg and Ward, 2022). The results of the study reflected some of the findings of this review, namely, that participants felt there were limited career opportunities, an unclear career pathway and lack of incentivisition of combined careers, leading a loss of this dual skillset (Brandenburg and Ward, 2022).…”

The results of the study reflected some of the findings of this review, namely, that participants felt there were limited career opportunities, an unclear career pathway and lack of incentivisition of combined careers, leading a loss of this dual JHOM 36,6 skillset (Brandenburg and Ward, 2022). In combination with Trusson et al (2019) in the UK, these two studies provide some empirical information about how clinician researchers perceive their career opportunities, although specific to these two countries.…”
