Note on the 2025 SPEC-SSH program:
At the request of trainees, the two online (zoom) SPEC-SSH courses will take place on late Thursday afternoons (instead of Saturdays), while the two on-site courses will continue to take place on a Saturday in Bern at the Inselspital. This allows trainees who prefer not to attend a course on a Saturday to complete their mandatory SPEC-SSH courses online on a weekday. At the same time, trainees who still wish to benefit from face-to-face interactive courses will not be disadvantaged and can continue to attend the on-site courses in Bern.
