Abstract

Bachelor of Human Medicine at the ETH Zurich. A Contribution to the Training of Tomorrow's Physicians Abstract. With ever-changing lifestyles and an increasingly older but also more dynamic society, the maintenance and health as well as the improvement of treatment play a central role. At the same time, developments in bioinformatics, molecular biosciences and imaging techniques are revolutionizing medicine. In order to fully exploit the new possibilities, for example in medical technology or personalised medicine, doctors with a sound knowledge in several disciplines will be needed in the future. In-depth knowledge in the medical, technical and biological sciences will become indispensable. This is where the new Bachelor of Human Medicine at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich has been in place since autumn 2017, combining medical with technical and scientific aspects of human health. In addition to traditional medical content, it also covers topics from the bioinformatics and medical technology sectors. The continuation of the studies takes place at one of the partner universities in Basel, Lugano or Zurich.
