Switzerland: licensing exam preparation

The federal exams of the university medical professions (human, dental and veterinary medicine, pharmacy, chiropractic) are held once a year at the universities under the supervision of MEBEKO at the Federal Office of Public Health. MEBEKO recognises or registers foreign diplomas of these professions, the SIWF awards specialist titles, and the Swiss Red Cross (SRK) recognises foreign diplomas in nursing and the other health professions.
