Calculation of the possible salary increase for "Medical Practice Coordinator"

We have aExamplecalculated for you:

A 24-year-old medical practice assistant (MPA with EFZ) has been working for four years in a family doctor's joint practice in the Basel area and earns CHF 4,450 per month. The two doctors at the practice highly value their employee and offer her the opportunity to train as a medical practice coordinator with a clinical focus. The MPA accepts the offer. She decides to complete the medical practice coordinator training in four semesters - this leaves her time for other things in addition to work and training. After passing the professional examination, she will first independently advise and care for diabetics and later other long-term patients under the supervision of the practice physicians and thus also be promoted to a higher salary group. As this professional examination was only introduced in 2015, the salary statistics here are not yet meaningful. However, due to the higher vocational training qualification, her Medical Practice Coordinator salary is likely to increase to around CHF 5,350, i.e. by CHF 900 per month or around 20%.

With the "Salarium" salary calculator, you can calculate the potential salary of a medical practice coordinator tailored to your individual situation after completing the professional examination.
