Our aim

Our aim is to support you in becoming a recognized work and health specialist.  Furthermore,  we aim to support your professional development through varied and hands-on modules.

We run an interdisciplinary program, which first started in 1993, to train future work and health specialists in Switzerland. Furthermore, we foster your experience with peer support and peer learning. Our DAS Alumnis become lecturers, and we have students from both specialties (OM, OH) learning and training together.

This specialization is dedicated to all colleagues with a background in human medicine and an interest in contributing to health at work. As a participant in our DAS Work+Health, you will gain training as a work and health specialist, and skills that you can share and apply with other work and health specialists for the benefit of the entire workplace.

We are calling on practitioners to join an interdisciplinary team to study work and health, share skills and expertise, and form a life-long partnership and network in the evaluation and prevention of occupational health hazards.

• Keep people healthy at work
