The course for prospective medical team leaders SVMB enables graduates to work in a middle management position in medical practices, clinics, organizations, insurance companies or health insurance funds in the future and to supplement their clinical-medical know-how with management and business management knowledge. At insurance companies and health insurance funds, they work in case management as group leaders, while in medical practices they are entrusted with personnel management, human resources, quality assurance, income management and practice marketing.

A degree in a medical profession, such as a nursing specialist, pharmaceutical assistant, medical practice assistant MPA, dental assistant DA, veterinary practice assistant TPA, medical assistant DVSA or similar, or a higher degree in the medical field and at least two years of relevant professional experience after basic vocational training, are the best prerequisites for starting the "Medical Team Leader" course with a certificate from the Swiss Association of Medical Vocational Schools (SVMB). This course teaches you the modules "Personnel Management", "Accounting", "Quality Management in the Medical Practice" and "Practice Management", which are the admission requirements for the federal professional examination (BP) "Medical Practice Coordinator with federal certificate". The modules Chronic Care Management I and II, which you can also take at the relevant schools, are also required for admission to the BP.

The specialist training course lasts two semesters and is completed alongside your job, so that you can continue to work, possibly with a reduced workload. Different course models are available to you depending on the school. For the Medical Team Leader SVMB course, for example, you attend classes two evenings, one afternoon or one Saturday per week and complete two module examinations per semester. If you pass four module examinations, you are deemed to have passed the diploma examination and new opportunities open up for you as a team leader in a medical practice.
