The first CAS in gender medicine in Switzerland teaches the concepts of sex- and gender-specific medicine and the impact that biological sex and sociocultural gender have on health and health care. It is aimed at people with a master’s degree in medicine or a related field who want to deepen their knowledge of the sex- and gender-specific differences within medicine and keep their work in line with the latest evidence.
The CAS was launched jointly by the Universities of Bern and Zurich. On behalf of the Department of Visceral Surgery and Medicine, Inselspital Bern, ISPM is responsible for the program coordination. Professor Oscar Franco, Director of the ISPM, Professor Nicola Low, and Dr. Taulant Muka will also be teaching in the course.
