Senior Consultant: General Dermatology

The University Clinic for Dermatology at the Inselspital Bern is one of the leading dermatology clinics in Switzerland. With a broad range of specialist consultations, a renowned skin tumour centre, and a close integration of clinic, research, and teaching, we offer a dermatological environment that is second to none. General Dermatology forms the clinical backbone of this clinic and is strategically the place where breadth and depth come together: here the full spectrum of dermatological diseases is treated on an outpatient basis - from inflammatory systemic diseases to rare genodermatoses to skin tumours - here the threads of the specialist disciplines converge, and here the clinical added value arises that distinguishes a university clinic from others. For this key position, we are looking for a professionally competent, committed individual who embodies General Dermatology with conviction.

• Systemic therapy management including biologics and small molecules for immune-mediated skin diseases.
• Close interdisciplinary collaboration within the clinic with specialist consultations, skin tumour centre, and dermatopathology, as well as with partner disciplines of the Inselspital.
• Co-supervision and mentoring of junior doctors as well as involvement in student teaching.
