The current situation in Family Medicine has led to professionals seeking better working conditions abroad, with Switzerland being a popular destination offering lucrative job opportunities.
Recently, the town of Herisau in Switzerland near Lake Constance has published a job offer for a family doctor with a generous financial remuneration of over 180,000 euros gross per year. The position is for a doctor willing to work in a “young practice” alongside two other doctors and a large team of health workers.
The contract offered is indefinite and includes an adaptation phase to learn about the Swiss healthcare system. There are opportunities for the doctor to take charge of consultations with specialists or even open new centers, increasing profits significantly.
Switzerland offers attractive remuneration, no work shifts except for a monthly guard in emergencies, and additional training opportunities. There is also an attractive insertion bonus and holiday period of five weeks.
To access the job offer, candidates must have a medicine degree, be a specialist in Family and Community Medicine or Internal Medicine, and have experience in healthcare. Proficiency in German, being kind and patient-oriented, and the ability to work individually and as a team are also important qualities.
