Becoming a clinician researcher in allied health

Balancing research with clinical demands is difficult and requires a strategic approach. This study in the Australian Health Review involved interviewing research-active allied health professionals at regional health services in Queensland to try to pin down the factors that influence successful research projects integrated into clinical practice. 

The authors concluded that a number of factors enable clinical researcher success, including "Library resources - having a good librarian is really helpful." An understanding of the clinician researcher career trajectory may also help to develop strategies to support research capacity building.
