The Physician-Clinical Investigator programme offers you the opportunity to combine a medical degree with a clinical investigator degree. It focuses on translational medicine: bridging the gap between research and care delivery by translating questions from patient care into research, and applying research results to care. The physician degree is equivalent to the Dutch master's degree in medicine, which allows you to apply for entry to any medical specialist programme (primary care, paediatrics, surgery, etc.). The combined degree also offers excellent prospects for a fast track towards a PhD. This is a four-year programme taught in Dutch (although parts of the clinical investigator component are offered in English).
