23-year-old Marita works as an EFZ dental assistant in a dental practice in Herisau. She ensures that the day-to-day running of the practice runs smoothly. She enjoys the planning and administrative work involved in welcoming and looking after patients. Marita optimizes the treatment process by preparing, calling and seating patients. She also assists her dentist with his dental treatments by performing suction work, straightening and handing materials and taking x-rays. Marita observes strict hygiene regulations when tidying up and cleaning the treatment rooms after treatment. She sterilizes all instruments. Marita also answers the phone at reception, makes appointments and sees patients for regular dental check-ups. As a dental assistant, she shows empathy, service awareness, organizational skills and works reliably. However, Marita would like to be able to work more independently and carry out treatments herself. She has therefore decided to attend further training to become a medical masseuse. This professional qualification enables Marita to treat people with various massage methods and techniques for prevention, therapy or rehabilitation. As a medical masseuse, she chooses the right treatment technique based on the problems and needs of her patients. Marita collects all relevant data before treatment and also interprets medical diagnoses and prescriptions in advance. She then draws up a suitable treatment plan and carries out the appropriate treatment to maintain and promote normal movement function. Marita pays attention to hygiene, privacy, occupational safety and data protection. As a former dental assistant, she is very knowledgeable when it comes to administrative tasks. Thanks to her federal certificate, Marita can start working as an employee in a therapy practice. However, with the recognized qualification as a medical masseuse, it is also possible to set up and run her own practice. Marita's massage training also gave her higher earning potential and better prospects on the job market.
Financial benefits of further training as a medical masseuse
As a medical masseuse, Marita will receive CHF 1,630 more per month than before and will therefore have at least CHF 735,000 more at her disposal by the time she retires than if she had not done any further training.
As this theoretical calculation does not take into account any further salary increases, promotions or interest on savings, the salary can still increase significantly.
