Update Medical Studies 2020 Bern Abstract. The education of the young Bernese medical students is problem-based as well as practice-oriented. The didactical concept of the Bachelor Studies is a guided self-study accompanied by concept lectures and interactive tutorials. The clinical skills are taught in a highly structured way, beginning with e-learning, seminars and Bedside Teaching. The Master Studies are based on evidence-based clinical education. The well-structured internships are the heart of the Bernese Master Studies; they enable the early inclusion of the students in the medical practice of the various healthcare disciplines. The communication trainings as well as the sonography courses are examples for the innovative development of the Bernese curriculum. The rotations in GP practices give an insight into the primary healthcare.CME Pituitary Incidentaloma in Adults Key Knowledge for the General Practice Abstract. Incidentally detected pituitary masses, so-called pituitary incidentalomas, are increasing in frequency as the frequency of performing imaging increases. Evaluation of the imaging from a trained neuroradiologist as well as additional endocrinological and, if necessary, neuroophtalmological studies are part of the initial assessment that drives the treatment decision in the case of benign small lesions with unremarkable assessment results, follow-up is indicated, whereas potentially malignant lesions or lesions with endocrinological or neuroophtalmological irregularities are usually treated. In borderline cases, interdisciplinary work is beneficial for the determination of the case-specific treatment procedure.Cosmetic or Fundamental Reform of Medical Education? Abstract. At regular intervals, medical faculties and national committees discuss adjustments to the training of physicians. These adaptations are mostly of a cosmetic nature. Discussions on fundamental reform concepts of training rarely take place. Too many different interests, sometimes openly declared but more often concealed, make discussions difficult as soon as fundamental questions are raised. As a result, there is no fundamental debate about the goal and concept of medical education. The issue of the assumption of medical activities by non-physician professions is at least discussed, but hardly any of it is implemented. It is closely linked to the question of how many physicians are needed in Switzerland. The following considerations, which some may find provocative, will hopefully trigger a fundamental discussion. In this case they will have achieved their goal.Illustrated Medical History of the Zurich University Hospital and the Medical Policlinic (Including Cultural and Urban Side Effects) Abstract. Zurich has always played a significant role in the history of medicine, with technical developments and biomedical discoveries (including numerous Nobel Prize laureates) or with Zurich physicians who are now commonplace in the world of medicine as eponyms. The story of the Kantonsspital of the University of Zurich, founded in 1833, is perfect to illustrate and locate Zurich's medical history - but also to show intriguing and unexpected cultural or urban references.Reflections on Trends in the Undergraduate Curricula of Human Medicine at the Universities in Switzerland Abstract. Reflections on current trends and progressions in the undergraduate curricula of Human Medicine of the universities in Switzerland. Both updated modern learning objectives and the politically intended higher number of graduated swiss physicians will make an impact on clinical skills training and offers opportunities in focusing as well as in coordinating the curricula.Bachelor of Human Medicine at the ETH Zurich. A Contribution to the Training of Tomorrow's Physicians Abstract. With ever-changing lifestyles and an increasingly older but also more dynamic society, the maintenance and health as well as the improvement of treatment play a central role. At the same time, developments in bioinformatics, molecular biosciences and imaging techniques are revolutionizing medicine. In order to fully exploit the new possibilities, for example in medical technology or personalised medicine, doctors with a sound knowledge in several disciplines will be needed in the future. In-depth knowledge in the medical, technical and biological sciences will become indispensable. This is where the new Bachelor of Human Medicine at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich has been in place since autumn 2017, combining medical with technical and scientific aspects of human health. UNC5293 In addition to traditional medical content, it also covers topics from the bioinformatics and medical technology sectors. The continuation of the studies takes place at one of the partner universities in Basel, Lugano or Zurich.Aim This discrete choice experiment aimed to assess patients' preferences for treatment attributes in multiple sclerosis (MS). Patients & methods Patients with relapsing-remitting MS completed an online survey assessing treatment preferences. Descriptive statistical analysis and discrete choice hierarchical Bayesian modeling were performed. Results Across the overall sample (n = 485), dosing regimen, efficacy and safety were equally important. Within the whole sample, and among those diagnosed less then 10 years ago, intravenous infusion ≤3 times/year was the preferred dosing regimen; among patients diagnosed ≥10 years ago it was preferred equally to oral treatments. Patients were more willing to accept frequent but mild over rare but severe side effects. Conclusion Several factors influence patient preferences for MS treatments and must be considered in patient-centered care.This study examines the knowledge gap hypothesis in the United States and Singapore in the context of nanotechnology. This study proposes that academic discipline serves as a better indicator than education levels in predicting nanotechnology knowledge gaps. To reflect the contemporary media landscape, this study examines how attention to online media and documentaries alongside traditional news outlets affect individuals' nanotechnology knowledge. In both countries, online media and documentaries, as well as traditional news outlets, were related to nanotechnology knowledge to various extents. While the knowledge gap hypothesis was not observed in Singapore, results revealed that increased media attention and interpersonal discussion widened knowledge gaps between individuals from science and non-science disciplines in the United States. Education levels failed to reveal a consistent moderation effect. Taken together, the interaction analyses revealed that academic discipline predicted nanotechnology knowledge gaps more consistently than education levels in the United States.
