Continuing education curricula
Further training for the interdisciplinary specialty title (iSP) in psychosomatic and psychosocial medicine is regulated by SIWF provisions. There are clinical-practical further training opportunities as well as numerous in-service courses in various formats. The courses are qualification modules that are required to obtain an interdisciplinary specialty title.Contents of the training curricula
Further training in psychosomatic and psychosocial medicine complements the content and methods of organ medicine by extending the health focus to the whole organism, the subject and the human individual in its context.
The further training courses impart physiological and psychological knowledge of functional disorders and somato-psychological combination diseases. The importance of the psychosocial context in which illness and recovery take place is reflected upon.
In addition to diagnostic and therapeutic skills, the training provides a deeper understanding of the individual as well as methods to promote a participative and dialogical patient relationship.
Customized formats
The minimum number of credits required to apply for a specialty title is 360. Clinical and practical training takes place in hospitals recognized as SAPPM training centers (WBS). In addition or as an alternative, SAPPM-recognized training institutes (WBI) offer comprehensive curricula designed for working professionals. In addition, there is also the option to assemble an individualized curriculum using continuing education modules (WBMA). These options can be combined as desired, and their implementation is tailored to the individual’s personal schedule.
More infoFurther training centers (WBS)
Around a dozen clinics in Switzerland are certified training centers in the field of psychosomatic medicine. In many cases, clinical training in a psychosomatic accredited training center can also be partially credited for the recognition of a specialist title (e.g. in general internal medicine or psychiatry). At university medical clinics, the academic route (research and teaching) is also open.
SAPPM-RECOGNIZED CLINICAL TRAINING CENTERS
More infoFurther education institutes (WBI)
As an alternative to clinical training, there are four tried-and-tested training institutes in Switzerland that offer a full curriculum alongside professional training. These comprise a two-year structured course leading to a specialty diploma. The advantage of extra-occupational curricula is that they cover practically the entire training catalog and can be completed in parallel with ongoing clinical and practical work.
More infoContinuing education modules (WBMA)
Modules are defined as continuing education courses worth at least 20 credits that are thematically and chronologically related, are offered by the same provider, and are held on a recurring basis. Modules are not limited to theoretical training but also include practical skills and supervision.
Certified modules are recognized as continuing education and training, as well as for recertification in the interdisciplinary SAPPM specialization. The interdisciplinary specialization can also be earned through a modular system by combining modules.
Certification of a module must be requested in advance from the SAPPM office using the official application form.
