In 2011 Marian Wettstein and Vincent Grandjean, both medical students and at that time board members of Medics Go, had the idea of creating a career fair for medical students.<\/p>\n

They had realized that many of the students did not have an idea of the diversity of career options after the final exams. Planning of the \u201cWahlstudienjahr\u201d begins in the third year of the studies. How is it possible to get fast and personally informed?<\/p>\n

All-Swiss DocDay should help. The aim is to meet a high number of dedicated doctors and associations \u00a0in one place. The key data of the various specialists should be summarized on big posters to enable a fast survey and comparison among the various disciplines. A low-threshold exchange between doctors-to-be and professionally experienced colleagues will be facilitated.<\/p>\n

An Organising Committee of 7 people<\/a> started planning DocDay 2012 in autumn 2011. The first consents of medical societies and doctors came in rapidly and the concept gained a lot of enthusiastic feedback. In spring 2012 we already had the first partners for DocDay. This enabled the funding of DocDay 2012. A framework programme was developed. It should provide career inputs and encourage discussions.<\/p>\n

On the 6th<\/sup> of October 2012 DocDay celebrated its first night after a sweaty planning phase of nearly one year. 34 Medical Societies, 80 doctors<\/a> and 4 partner companies<\/a> were present. The framework programme consisted of several speeches, as for example \u201cCareer and Family\u201d, \u201cStart of your own Doctor\u2019s Practice\u201d. There was as well a final platform \u201cSpecialising during the studies \u2013 curse or blessing?<\/strong>\u201d with Dr. Ruth Baumann-H\u00f6lzle<\/strong>, Prof. Dr. med. Johannes Loffing<\/strong>, Prof. Dr. med. Peter Meier-Abt<\/strong> und Prof. Dr. med. Johann Steurer<\/strong>, moderated by Anna Sax.<\/p>\n

A bilingual brochure<\/a> accompanied the visitors through the day.<\/p>\n

There were visitors from various Medical Faculties from all over Switzerland. As it was bilingual some of them came even from the French part of Switzerland in spite of quite a long journey.<\/p>\n

Under \u201cGallery\u201d<\/a> you find some impressions of DocDay 2012.<\/p>\n

You find a retrospect<\/a> of DocDay 2012 in \u201cInfoletter Haus\u00e4rzte Z\u00fcrich\u201d (Edition November 2012) published by Dr. med. Philippe Luchsinger, who is the president of \u201cHaus\u00e4rzte Z\u00fcrich\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
