Master Programme Medicine

The prerequisite for admission to the Master’s degree course in Human Medicine is the completion of a Bachelor’s or Diploma degree course in the same subject or a Bachelor’s degree course in the same subject at a university of applied sciences or another equivalent and subject-related degree course at a recognized domestic or foreign post-secondary educational institution. In any case, the Bachelor’s degree program in Human Medicine with a specialization in Human Medicine at SFU MED is equivalent to a degree program in the same subject.

In the first four semesters of the Master’s degree programme, the knowledge previously acquired in the recurring theoretical-clinical system blocks is deepened in a symptom-oriented manner and expanded to include aspects of treatment. Part of the timetable is reserved for teaching in interdisciplinary cross-sectional subjects in the transdisciplinary clinical conference teaching format; this concerns the specialist areas of radiology and radiooncology, laboratory medicine, pathology and microbiology, molecular genetics, interdisciplinary pain medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation as well as clinical pharmacology.

The theoretical-practical learning content is rounded off and deepened by the compulsory clinical clerkships and the clinical electives, in which students deepen and internalise the medical skills acquired in the skills lab and gain a broader understanding of pathology.

In the summarising thematic block ‘Analysis and assessment of acute and chronic symptoms’, students are prepared for their own work in a special way by means of a spotlight-like general repetition of the central clinical pictures and symptoms of the course – the compilation is based on the Problems as Starting Points for Training from the Swiss Catalogue of Learning Objectives and the Objectives for Clinical Examination of Canadian Meds – in the sense of a general reiteration. This is followed by the Clinical Practical Year in the 5th and 6th semesters, in which students deepen the knowledge, skills and medical attitudes (professional behaviour) acquired in the previous five years of study and acquire the ability for postgraduate training and further education under supervision.

The completion of the Master’s thesis encourages and demonstrates independent engagement with the basic principles of scientific research. Students are in constant dialogue with their respective supervisors. The Master’s theses, including posters and abstracts, are submitted and presented to the faculty on a fixed date, the so-called Science Day.

Graduates have learnt, trained and applied communication and psychosocial skills in clinical teaching. They are able and prepared to communicate and resolve conflicts with patients, relatives, colleagues and medical assistants in a respectful and appropriate manner.

Completion of the Master’s degree programme in Human Medicine is the basis for further training as a specialist in general medicine or for a postgraduate Master’s degree programme or a dissertation. The full-time degree programme is completed by completing modules and lines.

Special qualification features are specialised medical skills in the context of the current state of science and research. The medical knowledge taught focuses on the diagnosis, complications and treatment of diseases, the training of special differential diagnostic skills, medical decision-making skills, the creation of a problem-oriented, transdisciplinary understanding of cross-sectional subjects and clinical-practical training including sound practical knowledge in emergency medicine.

Completion of the Master’s degree programme in Human Medicine is the basis for further training as a specialist in general medicine or for a postgraduate Master’s degree programme or a dissertation.
