Bologna in Medicine: the situation in Switzerland

Switzerland was among the 29 countries that signed the Bologna Declaration in 1999. Several years went by before finally, in 2006, Basel was among the first universities to implement the Bologna reforms in its medical curriculum, an example that was followed by the other Swiss universities. Unfortunately, each university is free to decide ‘how’ to implement the Bologna reforms. As a result, different universities started with the implementation at different times and proceeded in different ways.
