Successful SIWF re-certification of the Rheumatology Clinic
The Rheumatology Clinic is pleased to announce that, following a successful audit by the Swiss Institute for Continuing Medical Education and Training (SIWF), it has been re-certified as a training centre for rheumatology and internal medicine.
In April, the clinic was inspected by the SIWF for recertification as a training centre for rheumatology and internal medicine. After careful examination by the further training committee, the clinic has now received the definitive report and recertification as a Category B for rheumatology and Category D for internal medicine. The results of the examination emphasise the commitment and outstanding work of our team.
Particularly emphasised were:
- A good working atmosphere and close supervision by experienced senior physicians.
- The great commitment of the head of further training and his deputy to the further training of junior doctors.
- A broad spectrum of rheumatological diseases as well as a wide range of degenerative and inflammatory rheumatology and pain medicine.
- Direct teaching with an excellent ratio of trainers to trainees (almost 1:1).
- Good links to the entire hospital, including other specialised musculoskeletal disciplines, comprehensive clarification and therapy options.
- Supervision by highly experienced specialists with a broad spectrum of expertise.
- A genuine interest on the part of the clinic in the further training of junior doctors, which strengthens the learning culture.
- The possibility of being categorised as a Category A training centre.
The clinic is honoured to receive this recognition for its outstanding training work and remains committed to creating excellent training conditions for future specialists.
