Continuing, further training in medicine: Experience report by Armin Riebli, Head of the Continuing, further training department at FREI'S Schools - different continuing, further training paths are possible in the field of human medicine
Who are you and what do you do for a living?
My name is Armin Riebli. I have been head of continuing education, further training at FREI'S schools for two years. My main task is to develop courses, supervise participants and conduct counseling sessions. In the course of my work, I always come into contact with different life paths. With our wide range of medical continuing education, further training courses, we can offer something for everyone who is interested in medicine.
How is the further education program at FREI'S schools structured?
At FREI'S schools, those interested in continuing education can choose between three directions in the field of human medicine courses as continuing medical education:
- Medical and hospital secretary and H+ medical secretary
- Transition to medical practice assistant
- Medical Practice Coordinator with Federal Diploma of Higher Education
Who is continuing education, further training in medical secretarial work suitable for?
People who have not previously worked in the medical field, but would like to work in an office, can choose between medical secretary or medical secretary H+ as continuing education, further training. The prerequisite is a completed apprenticeship. If you come from the commercial sector, choose the H+ medical secretary. If you have chosen a different profession, the medical and hospital secretary training is suitable for you.
Who is suitable for the medical practice assistant transfer course as continuing education, further training?
If someone has already completed basic medical training, such as a medical assistant, then we offer the Medical Practice Assistant course as continuing education, further training. This training is characterized by the fact that all the necessary activities of a medical practice are taught in a short period of time. This does not replace the Federal VET Diploma as a medical practice assistant, but it is certainly easier to start working in a medical practice with this training than without it.
Who can take the Federal Professional Examination for Medical Practice Coordinator with Federal Diploma of Higher Education as continuing education, further training in medicine?
This continuing education, further training in medicine is intended for trained MPAs (Medical Practice Assistant Federal VET Diploma), dental assistants or pharmaceutical assistants. It involves training to become a medical practice coordinator, which concludes with the Federal Diploma of Higher Education.
In this way, we offer a pathway through the entire medical field that leads into the higher specialist areas. You can find more information on these three educational pathways in human medicine and other continuing education, further training in medicine on the entry portalwww.ausbildung-weiterbildung.ch.
