Prof. Dr. Alexander Geissler and his team of the Chair of Health Economics, Policy and Management have been active since 2020. On the following pages you will learn more about the exciting research focus and projects.
It is not an official title, but in practice the term ‘bridge professorship’ probably best describes the nature of the professorship, which was approved by the appointments committee in 2021 and has been held by Prof. Dr Tobias Kowatsch since August 1, 2022.
The professorship is based at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Zurich, specifically at the Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care. However, the post is based at the School of Medicine at the University of St.Gallen (HSG). Prof. Kowatsch will therefore carry out the majority of his teaching and research with us, ideally in direct collaboration with hospitals and other research institutions in Eastern Switzerland.
Thematically, the professorship also lies at the intersection of the two universities’ fields of expertise. Read more about this on the page Digital Health Interventions.
Prof. Dr. Anna Elsner and her team of the Chair of Medical Humanities and French Studies have been affiliated with the School of Medicine since September 1, 2023. Click on this link to find out more about the team’s exciting research priorities and projects.
