Senior Consultant Dermatology - Paediatric Focus

In the paediatric dermatology clinics at Inselspital Bern, we see the entire spectrum of paediatric dermatology, from common conditions such as infantile haemangiomas, atopic eczema and infectious dermatoses to hair and nail disorders, as well as rare diseases like scleroderma, ichthyoses and other genodermatoses. With the EB-Island, we also offer a multidisciplinary, specialised care for children and adults with epidermolysis bullosa. We are certified by KoSEK as a centre for Rare Skin Diseases and an active part of the RareSkin CH network.

• Independent management of a paediatric dermatology clinic, with possible additional clinic supervision depending on experience
• With appropriate qualifications, deployment in other specialised clinics (e.g. general dermatology, dermatoallergology or operative dermatology) is also possible and desired
• Close collaboration within the dermatology team with regular case discussions, collegial support and exchange
• Participation in the EB-Island and deputising for the EB-Island management during absences
• Development of academically interesting questions and participation in research projects
• Involvement in teaching, continuing and further education

Our offer

The integration of the paediatric dermatology clinic into the outpatient clinic operation facilitates easy consultations with representatives of other specialised clinics (e.g. dermato-oncology, trichology)
