Teaching Interprofessional Patient Pathways in Medical Education in Switzerland - A Collaboration of Multiple Players The increase of chronic and complex medical disorders challenges actors in the health care system and affects the entire health care system in Switzerland. Through an interprofessional exchange between medical and health care professionals, the individual needs of patients can be better addressed, which has a positive impact on patients' treatments. To prepare students of the Bachelor of Medicine at ETH Zurich for these challenges, the ETH has designed a specific course together with four educational institutions, which is oriented towards the interprofessional, patient-centred supply chain. The aim of this interprofessional module is, that Bachelor of Medicine students, as well as Pharmacy and Nursing students, acquire knowledge about the other areas of responsibility and competences, and at the same time get to know the interfaces of interprofessional cooperations.
