The Swiss Institute for Continuing Medical Education (SIWF) has issued a certificate for teaching doctors in general internal medicine and paediatrics and in paediatrics and adolescent medicine for the first time in 2016.
In 2017 we expanded the circle of recipients to include all continuing medical education instructors, regardless of specialty.
The certificate is intended to be a visible recognition of the active support in continuing medical education.
