We look forward to the valuable contacts and co-operation with medical educators from other countries. As a part of the Program Prof. Sissel Guttormsen visited the Karolinska Institute in October 2023. The Karolinska team shared their educational ideas and medical education program with the participants. A truly inspiring week !
Link Story
Federal Licence Exam conducted in Italian for the first time
Together with the medical faculties, the Institute for Medical Education has for many years developed and organised the Federal Exams in Human Medicine in French and German. With the completion of the first cohort of the Master of Medicine in Lugano in 2023, it became necessary to offer the exam in the third national language. Thanks to the joint efforts of the IML and the USI (Università della Svizzera italiana), it has been possible to administer the exam in Italian. This makes Switzerland one of the very few countries where a structured practical exam is conducted at national level in three languages.
