Since 2020, the University of St. Gallen has been offering a Master's degree programme in medicine in collaboration with the University of Zurich and other partners in eastern Switzerland. One of the focal points of the Joint Medical Masters in St. Gallen is primary medical care, which is why various internships take place in general practitioners' and paediatricians' practices.

Medical teaching course for general pracititioners and paeditricians
Currently, our faculty includes approximately 60 trained teaching physicians from outpatient primary care. Most of them have already supervised students in the Clinical Course in Family Medicine and the Primary Care Course in Family Practice. In order to accommodate the increasing number of students, we need additional teaching physicians who would like to become involved in the training of young physicians.
On June 4, 2026 from 15:30 to 18:30 at the School of Medicine in St.Gallen another didactics training will take place, which qualifies to supervise Joint Medical Master students from St.Gallen in single tutorials.
