About the job
Shape the future long-term instead of just being employed - in an established medical corporation in Eastern Switzerland
You have been working in the Swiss healthcare system for several years, want to commit long-term and not only collaborate but also have a say?
Here you will initially find a secure employment - with a clearly defined prospect of partnership in one of the most traditional physician-owned group practices in Eastern Switzerland.
This interdisciplinary group practice has existed for over 30 years in the Thurgau region - founded as one of the first medical corporations in Switzerland. The practice is owned by the doctors working there themselves: a large part of the colleagues are co-owners. This model stands for entrepreneurial responsibility without classic self-employment - and for a stable, realistic economic structure without exaggerated growth targets.
The location is rural, with very good public transport connections to larger cities in Eastern Switzerland. The region offers a high quality of life, short distances, good schools and strong regional ties. Ideal for doctors who consciously do not want to work in an urban glossy centre but appreciate long-term patient relationships.
The practice is broadly positioned and combines various specialties under one roof. In addition to classical conventional medicine, evidence-based complementary medical procedures such as acupuncture are integrated. Vaccine-critical or unscientific approaches have no place here - the focus is on sound, patient-centred medicine.
A professional administration with several employees fully relieves you of IT, accounting and human resources. You concentrate on medicine - not on side issues.
Your entry - clearly structured
The usual path is deliberately two-stage:
Phase 1 - Employment (approx. 1 year)
You work as an employed general practitioner in the team, getting to know processes, culture and economic structures.
Phase 2 - Partnership
After a joint assessment of the situation, you enter co-ownership.
The participation requires a contribution of around CHF 200,000 (share purchase + loan portion). Good financing options through the main bank are established.
As a partner you benefit from:
- entrepreneurial co-determination
- significantly higher earning opportunities
- tax advantages (e.g. depreciation options as for self-employed)
- genuine co-responsibility instead of pure employee status
This model is especially worthwhile for doctors around 40 years old - with a long-term perspective.
Your tasks:
- Comprehensive general medical care of an established patient base
- Long-term relationship medicine
- Coordination with internal specialist colleagues
- Collaboration in an interdisciplinary structure
- Prospectively participation in strategic decisions as a partner
Your competencies:
- Specialist title in General Internal Medicine or General Medicine
- At least 5 years of professional experience in the Swiss healthcare system
- Interest in long-term commitment and entrepreneurial thinking
- Enjoyment of teamwork in a larger group structure
- Empathetic, positive and reliable personality
- Ideally connection to the Thurgau region or affinity to the rural environment
- Optimally Swiss passport
This practice consciously does not seek a short-term transitional solution but personalities who want to commit.
Your advantages:
