Open Access
|Dec 2021

Abstract

This article presents the education system in Switzerland and classifies the health professions within it. Statistics on students in the health care professions from 2000 to 2020 provide an insight into the numerical development. The result of the academization process is positive, but a reliable empirical evidence is missing. This article is based on the presentation with the same title given at the VFWG symposium «Bachelor's degree programs in Austria and Switzerland: models for the therapy and nursing professions in Germany?» on September 8, 2021.
