Alicia’s PhD research examines the participation of Australian clinicians in health and medical research. Clinician-researchers play a vital role in advancing health and medical research and health system innovation, yet their participation and metrics are rarely measured systematically or at scale. As part of a larger ARC Linkage project, an organisation-wide survey and series of in-depth interviews explore barriers, enablers and patterns of research participation within health systems. Alicia has also developed and applied a novel, scalable framework that links Australia’s national medical registration data with Scopus Author Profiles to produce the first complete national dataset of verified medical practitioner research metrics. Together, these mixed‑methods findings will improve the visibility of research-active clinicians, offering opportunities to strengthen the clinician-researcher career pipeline, inform inclusive, data-driven health research policy, and support strategic investment in developing the research capability of the health workforce.
