\n Medical expertise in psychosomatic and psychosocial medicine is regulated in Switzerland as an interdisciplinary specialty (iSP) (Art. 50 ff WBO SIWF). \n\nThe SAPPM is the company commissioned by the SIWF to ensure that the interdisciplinary specialty title is issued and implemented in Switzerland.

Acquire key titles<\/h2>\n \n

“Psychosomatic and Psychosocial Medicine” is an interdisciplinary specialty title<\/a> recognized by the FMH \/ SIWF (Art. 50 ff WBO SIWF). The title is protected. It primarily certifies to the outside world that the holder of the title has in-depth further training in psychosomatic and psychosocial medicine. The advantages associated with the title relate to tendering, protection in the event of a performance audit and the preservation of vested rights. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
