Surgical Training
Our hands-on surgical training courses are designed to prepare medical students for real-world surgical experiences. The Basiskurs focuses on essential suturing techniques, from surgical hand knots to advanced suturing methods, ensuring students are fully equipped for their surgical rotations. Additionally, our Emergency Course teaches skills in wound treatment and emergency procedures, such as local anesthesia administration, helping students confidently handle urgent situations.
Led by experienced tutors, the Basiskurs is certified by the Swiss College of Surgeons (SCS), and participants receive an official SCS-endorsed certificate upon completion.

Tutoring Course FS24
20 motivated medical students had the exciting opportunity to be coached on how to teach sutures to their peers!
In a dense weekend of learning, practicing and exchanging knowledge the Young Surgical Students Association has built up a base for all the upcoming suturing courses!
We are looking forward to teaching!
SurgeAHEAD 2024
It’s a wrap!
This week, our partnering project SurgeAHEAD took place at OR-X. Twelve medical students successfully completed
a four day intensive surgical program. The course content featured various blocks led by expert tutors.
We are proud to contribute to a next generation of surgeons! Of course we are also looking forward to seeing SurgeAHEAD develop and grow.
Stay tuned the 2025 project, and all the other interesting courses that are about to come!
Many thanks to everyone who made this incredible opportunity happen – and especially to our Head of Surgical Training Anatol Aicher who turned months of organizational work into an amazing project
