After he had finished his specialist training in general medicine in 2004, Scherer was research assistant in the division of general medicine of the University hospital Göttingen, from 2006 on as senior physician.

Scientific contribution
[edit]One of Scherer's scientific focus is to develop methods in Health care research. Goal is to develop indicators which can be used to measure quality in health care provision.[5] Furthermore, Scherer is working on systematic surveys and meta-analyses. Through randomized controlled trials high levels of medical evidence are developed to trace the effectiveness of medical and diagnostic measures.[6] As a speaker of DEGAM, Scherer is dealing with the development of guidelines. Another focus of Scherer is multimorbidity.[7][8][9] Scherer is Co-Principal Investigator in several studies. In the MultiCare Claims Study, which is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Germany), Scherer and Hendrik van den Bussche are investigating whether single illnesses and their interaction are relevant in terms of multimorbidity or whether it is rather the subjective consequences for patients. Together with Wolfgang Maier and Steffi Riedel-Heller, he is carrying out the AgeCoDe-Study about dementia.[10][11]
