Under the supervision of senior physicians, you provide care for the patients entrusted to you, both outpatient and inpatient, throughout the institution.

You collaborate closely with all the institution’s medical and nursing teams, in a proactive and patient-centred approach. You ensure clear, respectful and appropriate communication with both your colleagues and the patients and their relatives.

Furthermore, you have the opportunity to participate in ongoing research projects within the service.

You hold a federal medical diploma or an equivalent diploma recognised by the Medical Professions Commission (MEBEKO). You have at least three years of experience in general internal medicine or already hold an FMH in general internal medicine. Initial experience in clinical infectiology is an asset.
