In 2021, an anonymous survey was sent out to those awarded forskar-AT or one of the “clinical career programmes” during the period 2006–2019. The “clinical career programmes” consist of four different financing programmes; the research residency programme (forskar-ST; for doctoral students), clinical post-doc, clinical researcher and higher clinical researcher.

Alumni surveys

A survey was conducted in 2018 of all doctoral graduates who defended their theses 2010 or 2014 at KI. The purpose was to evaluate their doctoral education and their entrance onto the labour market.

This was a follow-up of a previous survey conducted in 2011 which included doctoral graduates of 2003/4 or 2007/8 from KI and the medical faculties at Gothenburg, Linköping, Lund and Umeå universities.
